Today we wrapped day two of shooting Young Adults‘ music video (directed by the creative, patient and awesome-at-choosing-lunch-foods Pat Breen) for their awesome song “Let Us Out” off the album Black Hole.
It was a really great experience for me to capture video with my 5D Mark II for the first time in a controlled environment. I’ve shot for fun, and even at live concerts before, but nothing with this level of production and professionalism. I learned a lot about the power needed to run a lot of really hot lights for a few hours, much different from the occasional really fast pop of 2400 watts that comes out of the strobes used for stills. The most important thing I took from this is the importance of teamwork, respect and asking for help. This video might have happened without as much collaboration, but I think Pat was very smart to ask a bunch of people for their help and input. I can’t wait to see the video when it’s all edited – I’ll be sure to update when it does!
