Promotional video for blues band

wplate — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 23:29:04 +0000

I recently worked with a local blues band on a promotional video package.

The CD Woodbury Band plays the blues at bars and festivals around the Pacific Northwest. The musicians in the band are all quite excellent and experienced, but this arrangement of personnel is relatively new so they’re still working on getting gigs from local venues. A video would really help them convince a bar owner to book them, so that was what we set out to make.

Three cameras were used to shoot this project: a Canon HF20, Canon 5D Mark II and a Panasonic HPX-170. Audio was recorded using a Zoom H4N, which was a lot better than trying to use the camera mics. The three cameras certainly don’t match each other perfectly, but they still look good, especially when viewed online which is how most people will see this video.

The YouTube version of the video has the band’s phone number and web site displayed the whole time, so when bar and venue owners switch from viewing to booking they’ll have the contact info right in front of them. The DVD has the DVD packaging to provide the info for contacting the band.

The band is really happy with the video and how it turned out, and we’re all anxious to see how it affects bookings.
