TC (Artist), Carl Weston (DP/Directer) and Justin Ivory (Grip/AC/AD) Trying to make it happen in 3 hours
I gotta say I learn something new every time I shoot a low budget/no budget music video Like: 1.) Never serve alcohol to the extras. 2.) Don’t let the extras do coke while shooting. I also need more than softboxes as my primary lighting source. I need more controllable lights in my kit, I might have to add some lowell dp’s to my kit. Most of this video was shot in 1 evening, we spent about 3 1/2 hours trying to make it happen, it was a crazy shoot.
This was the first time I shot in this type of senario using 5600k daylight balanced lights, you gotta use what you have. There wasn’t a rental budget on this shoot an I own the softboxes. I shot handheld on this one using the canon 5d mark II and cinestyle picture profile. I stayed on the Zeiss ZE 50mm and the 85mm for most of this shoot.

My first real shoot with my Canon 60D. I truly had fun using my indie slider an can’t wait to use it again on the next music clip I’m shooting/directing later this summer.
