LET'S WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE A KICK-ASS VIDEO!!
It's easier - and cheaper - than you think to get a high-quality, professional-looking Live Performance Video. With Fancy Shoestring's SmartVids system, we work with you to set up your shoot no matter where you are - all you need is a camera or smartphone with a tripod and a friend or two with smartphones or cameras. WE'LL WORK WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!!
STEP #1: AUDIO
One of the main reasons live gig videos often suck eggs is because the audio sucks eggs. YOUR audio will come from not just the cameras, but the mixing board. It's simple to run a line out from the board into either a camera or laptop with recording software (such as the free AUDACITY). We'll use THAT as the primary audio for your project, with the "room sound" from other devices mixed in. It'll be cool!! And don't worry - we'll help every step of the way. We can even reach out to your sound person before the gig to make sure everything runs smoothly!
STEP #2: VIDEO
Set up one smartphone (or camera) on a tripod with a clear shot of the stage. This will be your "Foundation Shot." THEN get a friend or two to shoot on THEIR smartphones (for a total of up to THREE video sources)! Encourage them to be creative with close-ups, crowd shots, etc. If you give us their contact info beforehand, we can help coordinate!!
STEP #3: UPLOAD
After the show, all video/audio files can be easily uploaded to a link we'll provide. We can walk you/your videographers through every step! (NOTE: Depending on your internet speed, large file uploads can take a spell)
THEN LEAVE IT TO US!
Using our Adobe Premier Pro video editing software, we'll take the video/audio you've provided, prepare a thirty-second clip from your performance, and send it to you for your consideration. ONLY WHEN YOU ORDER WILL YOU SEND US ANY MOOLA - we require a 50% deposit, with the balance paid upon delivery.
