Hey FP.
In june, I was invited to come photograph behind the scenes of my friends bands first music video.
It was a fucking awesome experience. It was a 24-hour shoot with a 30-man crew. We started at 3pm and ended at 3pm next day.
I didn't shoot any of the scenes in the final video, but I was asked just to take some behind the camera video-footage, and take some pictures. I haven't uploaded any of the video footage I got, but here are the pics.
The bands name is [url=http://Www.myspace.com/searingsolace]Searing Solace[/url], and here's the final music video

Anyways, to the pics.
They're pretty much just snapshots, so they're nothing super exciting. I just wanted to catch the feel of standing 4 in the morning on some beach with studiolamps everywhere. Don't mind the annoying watermark in some of the photos.

Is it me or does the lead singer remind me of the guy from big time rush?

Wow. Guess he was tired of his TV show.
I have no idea what that even is. We're Danish.
Not much behind the scenes...
Video itself wasn't good either, or I just couldn't see the story.
could you post some photos you have of the camera equipment itself?
They just used a 7D to film the video. Not much to see really.

I had a feeling it was a 7D, did they also use a steadicam rig?
Also what are you opinions on the final product? Do you like it?
Yeah they used a shoulderrig
And to be honest, I think the story is confusing, and there's too much macro/upclose of kids kissing.
It's a awesome visually, but it's a bit meh.
Looks like a fun experience! I once shot a promo movie for a school so I know what goes into making it all, and it is great, great fun eventhough it will leave you tired by the end of the day(s)
Personally i think they could have improved on it visually, the shots sometimes seemed a bit forced and all over the place, and some shots were generally boring.
I also think the story is confusing too, and that some elements also felt forced and unnecessary. However i wouldn't say it was a terrible video.
The song wasn't bad either.
is that really HD? nobody really releases HD music videos yet, especially if NLE is required
Your pictures are better than their video, and their music.
Thanks for your opinion.
As I said, I think the video is well exectued, but too little band and too much hanky panky. I like the music, but I don't think I'd be listening to it if it wasn't my friends.
I was distracted by the video and missed some of the song but i thought it (both video and song) were actually pretty good!
