Giz – ‘Dark World’ music video ft. Vanessa, by Avene
Click here to view the video on YouTube Giz - 'Dark World' music video featuring Vanessa This is the video I wrote about in my post here a couple of weeks back, shot entirely on my Canon S95. For more information about the shoot, I suggest reading that article. Now, I've only just managed to post it up here. I wanted to grab a few before and after shots to show you all how ....
Getting great results from a cheap eBay graduated ND photo filter
Filters can be fun A few weeks back I ordered the Lensmate Quick Change filter adapter for my Canon S95 camera. Now I've never really used photography filters much in the past, apart from maybe a polariser or UV. But since the Lensmate adapter would give my S95 the ability to use filters, I decided I would make the most of it, and ordered quite a few eBay. Now originally the plan was just ....
The Freedom To Be Creative Without Distractions Using Canon’s S95
Yet another article about the Canon S95 Over the past few months, any of you who have been following my posts here would be aware of how much I enjoy working with Canon's S95 camera. Many of you have probably read these articles. Yes, to be honest, rarely have I posted anything here recently without mentioning it. It's that good. In fact I even discovered recently that Wired magazine included the Canon ....
The Benefits Of Working Quickly
The problem - As nice as it is to plan out a project properly and spend a lot of time and doing everything right, sometimes it doesn't always work out to be the most effective approach. From my own experience, things don't always go as well as they should. Maybe it's just me, but I've found that the longer a project takes to complete, the less desire I have to complete ....
Behind the scenes shooting a music video with the Canon S95
Another music video shot on the Canon S95 On Sunday I shot a second music video for 206 Collab, a track called Deadly Concoction. Terry from the group conceptualised and directed the video. Most of it was shot in the garage belonging to another member of the group, James. The guys had covered the back wall with white plastic, and there were leaves hanging from the ceiling. I was quite impressed. Of course ....
Macro Studio Objects
This is a collection of macro photos I shot around my studio last year. Nothing too exciting, but I like the look :) These were all shot using my Ricoh CX1 camera, which I'm actually considering selling, as I rarely use it anymore and don't find the quality of the photos to be as nice as those from my Canon S95. Although strangely, photos from the CX1 do appear to have more ....
What makes Sony Vegas the best for editing music videos
This article may sound very biased coming from someone who has always used Sony Vegas for video editing, but there are a number of key features that will prevent me from switching to any other video app. My history with Sony Vegas I first started using Vegas around the time it was first released back in the late 90s. At the time it was an audio only app used for multitracking. I guess DAW ....
Resurrecting an old music experiment carried out back in 2003, but taking it a step further with the Akai MPC500
Where the idea began Have you ever tried doing something experimental that others wouldn't even bother attempting, or believe was even possible in the first place? Way back in the late 80s and into the early 90s, I used to read a UK magazine by the name of Music Technology. Long gone now I'm sorry to say. Do any of you reading this remember it? In one issue they interviewed some electronic dance group of the ....
Learning to do more with less, and not buying what you won’t use.
One of the problems I had when I was younger was a bad case of gear lust. Like a lot of people getting into recording their own music, I went through a whole lot of music gear before I ever actually did anything decent with any of it. When I was 17 I bought a Casio FZ1 sampler. This was a nice bit of technology back in 1989. Coldcut were using one, ....
Chriscol – ‘Shine de lite’ music video ft. Harry Harris
A music video I shot for Chriscol a week ago and finished editing the other day. I shot the video on my Canon S95 once again. I'm really liking this camera a lot :) Anyone watching the video concerned about the really old tombstone that moved, he honestly didn't expect that to move! I'm not sure what the deal was with the open tomb either... They're all roughly 170 years old most ....
