You Don’t Need a Big Crew to Make a Music Video

There are some great films on the web that showcase the amazing quality of the new HD-DSLR video cameras. Some of them have a credit roll that’s longer than the actual video.

Late last year, I got an offer to do a music video for Taddy Porter‘s single “Shake Me.” I wanted to show what a photographer could do with only a camera and a bag full of lenses.

I packed up the Nikon D3S hybrid HD-DSLR with my 14-24, 24-70, and 70-200 lenses and spent a week on the road shooting documentary footage of the band traveling in their van, staying at Motel 6’s, and performing night after night. Everything is shot hand-held with a crew of one.

The talented David Szarejko did the edit and we made something I’m very proud of.
