    Critique First " Rock Video "

    Ok we just finished editing our first rock video. We used 14 masters with around 120 cuts. We still have a few things to do with color correction. I would like some feed back from those that are video editors or people who are fans of this type of music.

    The band is called Paradise . They will be touring in Europe this summer. I will be heading over to Europe for some of the tour.

    HERE IS THE VIDEO

      I like the music, enjoyed the pyros, but there were a few times when the singer looked into the camera, it just looked kind of....odd....can't put my finger on it...also, noticed the song was a bit out of sync with the singer's mouth in a few of the closeups....

            Yeah we still have some work to do on syncing the video and the audio.... I really appreciate the feedback. We are branching out to main stream video production. We do not just want to be know as super porn producers but also respected as a highly qualified production crew.

              pretty good

              still think there's more money in porn though, mainstream companies are cheap as hell.

                        There is no storyline in this video, just members of a rock band playing their instrument. You need to spice it up with story, even if it is a thin story that has nothing to do with the song.

                            The music was ok, the outfits were pretty horrible(except for the misfits shirt), and i agree with the one person here about some of the close-ups. Aside from that, it was pretty good. Could probably use more panning shots around the band(a la godsmack videos for ex.)

                                I liked it. Enjoyed watching it all the way through, actually.

                                A few thoughts, though...

                                1.) The video looked overexposed at times. Flipping between different exposures of the same basic scene looks even worse than having a bad exposure.

                                2.) Some things were hard to judge given the medium. (WMV isn't exactly clear.) I would like to see more visual detail, and see if the audio synch is any good.

                                3.) It's all the same scene. I think for a first video, a simple performance like that is great. I would have edited in some outdoor scenes, probably with a bright blue muscle car, given the chance.

                                      The close-ups of the lead singer's face are kind of weird, but not in a good way. He doesn't look very professional.

                                      Some of the fades from frame to frame don't look that smooth (though could just be in windows media player)

                                      I don't like the set for this kind of music/video, the costumes are great though.

                                      Pyro from the guitar is cool.

                                      Besides that only other thing I can notice was the audio/visual synching as people already told you...

                                        I have to say that I love the song & the concept so much that I put up a link to the website on Jamdin's Dream Realm

                                        I love the green guitar and the outfits. The pace of the video fits with the pace of the song: fast. I didn't mind the fact that there was no Hawaiian babe.

                                        Great vocals (I could actually hear the words over the instruments) and great riffs. I hope Paradise goes to the top

                                          When will the video of the girl be edited and uploaded?

                                          In all seriousness. The video is not bad. Most of the suggestions I was going to make have been pointed out. Other than that, good job!

                                            Thanks for the comments. We wanted to focus more on the band than use a big story line. Since the band is kind of retro 80's glam rock we wanted to give it that 80's rock video low budget feel. We used a Dodge Swinger with a 340 engine as the musclecar and one of my girl friends Jessica Lee Ann as the beauty. We used a steady cam for some of the shots as you can see in the pictures.

                                              Production wise it looked fine, except for the over exposure. Either go way over and make it look deliberate or get it right.

                                              But is was just a rock band in a room, maybe filming it someone's garage would have given it a twist.

                                                Thanks for the comments charly....... I repect your opinion coming from a pro photographer. I agree we may have burnt some of the image using the kino flo lighting. We also used a lot of make up to try to give the musicians that party worn image in there faces.

                                                We where going to use a real garage but we did'nt want there to be gasoline present with the pyro tec's. We where also wanted to shoot it and have it edited for there opening European Tour.

                                                    That was cool - really enjoyed it - you guys used a ring-light for some of that stuff?

                                                    I noticed a couple of cuts where the camera lens barn-door accidently snuck into the right side of the frame.

                                                    Good stuff though -

                                                                          2.) Some things were hard to judge given the medium. (WMV isn't exactly clear.) I would like to see more visual detail, and see if the audio synch is any good.
                                                                          Yeah the .WMV compression doesnt do it justice. When you look at it on a regular tv it looks alot better. Those 80's band are really big in Europe, the video is almost a shoe in for MTV Europe when it comes out.

But we will sit down with the editor and director of photography and see what they think. Like you said, color corrections and ajusting the overexposure isnt really difficult to do in post-prod.

His expression changes completely between those two shots - but it's a matter of milliseconds in the video... Maybe put something in between them?

The band has a cool image you could play with so it made it even more interesting. The only thing I would suggest is to make sure you get at least 5 different treatments for the video before you start shooting in the future. I have overseen 15 major label videos so far and the only thing that ensures we don't waste money is making sure the treatment we start with is entertaining or at least different.

The band has a cool image you could play with so it made it even more interesting. The only thing I would suggest is to make sure you get at least 5 different treatments for the video before you start shooting in the future. I have overseen 15 major label videos so far and the only thing that ensures we don't waste money is making sure the treatment we start with is entertaining or at least different.

                                                                                        totally agree about that
