In HD. It came out pretty well, I shot the whole show with a Canon XH A1 with a wide-angle lens and audio from the soundboard (Thanks Mark!) fed via a fancy wireless mic setup. Here's a 720p downscaled (I shot in 1080p24 - sorta) pic of Chauntelle: And here's a 55 MB H.264 720p sample of the same scene - your computer needs quicktime and some fairly serious (G5 or Dual-Core Intel) processing power to watch it. http://mucus.net/chauntellehd.mp4 And the full clip: http://mucus.net/eisley-icbtfy-hd.mp4 (I suggest saving it, just to save my own bandwidth) I'll be editing it and hopefully putting up a few more clips (or at least stills) in the near future. I decided to go tripod-less so it's kind of shaky at points, but the camera has very nice image stabilization and I have fairly steady hands. And then when Eisley becomes rich and famous they can hire me as their videographer/technology awesomeguy. EDIT: Here's another song! Over the Mountains. I love that song. http://mucus.net/eisley-otm-hd.mp4 Option-click or right-click-save-as to rock out! _________________ |

Holy $#@! that video is awesome! If you record all the tracks separately for posthumous mixing/mastering, you could make a completely professional DVD concert recording. Thanks for that, how much did that camera cost? >_< _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |

Yeah, next time I do it I'll bring two wireless mics, and separate the instruments and vocals for a little post-production, but I don't really have the capability to easily record all 9 (I think) tracks that the band uses. Mark did a good job of feeding me awesomely mixed audio... well except that he forgot vocal reverb on my output for the first song or two The camera cost about $4000 all-told, I liberated it from work to use for the concert, we're going to be buying 3 or 4 of those over the course of the next year, they're fantastic. As for a DVD... maybe once I get a second camera I can stick one on a tripod for a wide shot and get in close with a handheld, then I can just sync them and edit later. Also with that setup I could get 8 tracks recorded on-camera, which ain't so shabby. I bet I can do a better job than those punks who jerked up the Troubadour show And on another note, the show itself was really great. Boyd said it was one of the best of the tour, and the crowd was really into it. I kind of wish I wasn't filming, just because I saw the show through an LCD screen/viewfinder and heard it through headphones, but it was still killer and I felt the energy. I also met a really nice girl named Courtney, but I forgot to ask if she went to the Eisley forum. She got mistaken for one of the band members a few times at the merch table, it was pretty funny. Also she loves Kashmir, Eisley, Radiohead, and has an iPhone (like me!) so she totally rules obviously. Show yourself if you do frequent the board! _________________ |

Yeah, the reverb on the output made it sound 10x better than just a flat soundboard recording. The main thing that mixing would benefit would be evening out the vocals and music. With something like a firepod, you could get everything mixed perfectly, but even with two separate outputs a lot could be accomplished. Also, I suppose a DVD would be too small for 720p video (at least whole concert.) _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |

If I'm thinking of the same person, she wore the white shirt and vest? She looked like a cross between Stacy and Nicky Hilton. That is a good thing. |

Very nice. Can you upload a whole song? It'd be about a 300 MB download for a 3 1/2 minute long song. Pretty big but it'd be cool. _________________ we're really not alone, we have each other |
