Thread : Ideas for Music Video

Posted on Nov 22, 2010 at 02:04 pm

Hey All,

Looking for ideas for a Latin Pop (love song) music video!

Any concepts for protagonist (female) and singer?

Cool shots to do quickly and cheap? Indoor or Outdoor?

Lighting solutions for outdoor shoots? (Possibly night time)

If anyone is in the NYC area and wants in let me know :-)

Crungoo,The playback standard on your camera's settings must be set to HDV for FCP to see it. Change the playback setting in your camera before you plug the FireWire into the camera, set the capture preset to HDV or ProRes, and device control to FireWire HDV. It doesn't matter what your project settings are. Good Luck!

Basically to sum it up its kind of comical, the chorus is that I drink to forget you but then its worse because I see you double LOL. Most of the song is about him trying to forget the girl, (I didn't write the lyircs).

I'm actually having an issue trying to log and capture from my canon xh-a1 to final cut. Everytime I try to capture it says "This operation could not be completed as there is no video" I have tried capture settings, are there settings on the camcorder I am supposed to fix? Please Help :(
Thanks

I was just going to ask about the lyrics. What's the song about?

For concept ideas, it's helpful to have a sense of what the lyrics are about.
