Hi Everyone,
I'm a long time fan of LAFCPUG and respect the advice given in the forums. I work as a studio camera operator and fill in as the technical director for Access Hollywood. I love production so I also do my own projects on the side, because working a million hours a week isn't enough. Here is a video that I did recently as a one man band for my guitar teacher. Her name is Toni Valenta and she's the singer/guitar player.
I shot this with a DVX100, used ARRI lights and edited it with FCP 5.1.4. It includes Nattress Film Effects plug-ins, a CHV plug-in and one Eureka free plug in. I did rear screen projection for the "audition room" and front screen projection on the bass drum. To prepare it for YouTube, I exported it as a H.264 at 1500Kbits/sec. with multi-pass. It was 94.9 MB. The original video is really nice looking and it's kind of sick to see what happens as it's converted to FLV on YouTube, but what the heck, we wanted to get it out there. I hope you enjoy it!
