DP for Music VIdeo

I had the opportunity to DP a music video for Alina Ballou. Very intersting working as the DP for something I did not write or direct, was really a different perspective.  Alina was lovely to work with and very collaborative - and I admit it was nice not to be the one who was responsible for everything!

With a small budget and crew, I feel we made strong use of DSLR (5D Mark III) and a careful selection of lights and lenses. Shot in one evening in several locations, I think we got some really nice shots.

I will say though, I may be done with dslr.  When you’re moving quickly there are just too many things to worry about with all the accessories. Having a decent viewfinder, monitor, waveforms, xlr ports, etc. - all in one place using the same battery is a much faster way to go with less to worry about.
