We shot the last part of the band video for Kuda on Saturday. We spent most of the day shooting outside this time which was really nice after the last three locations which were all dark indoor locations.

Working with the guys involved was great, considering that only one of the cast was an experienced actor, I was surprised at how convincing the rest of the guys were, I think we might be seeing some career changes in the near future!

The whole experience of being DP on this project was great, director / Producer Peter Naylor is going to be busy editing the video over the next week or so and as soon as the video is complete I’ll be posting it on the site along with a complete write up about the experience. For now though, here’s some grabs from Saturdays Shoot.

I worked as DP on a music video today which was a great experience as it was my first shoot with a Director, actors and a real storyline.

The music video is for a band called Kuda and the video has one scene which takes places in an underground gambling room, which was the part we shot today. I shot in 1080/25p on the EX1 with the brevis adapter and a combination of 50mm f.14, 20-35mm f2.8 and 135mm f2.8 Nikkor lenses.

The shoot was directed by Peter Naylor, a local film maker who’s also going to be editing the video. We’ll be shooting three more scenes in the coming weeks so I’ll post more news as it happens.

Here’s a few stills from todays shoot, they are straight out of the camera without any alteration other than reducing the size.
