Blanco Deuce – I’m Looking at Your Mom
This is a response video to the song titled Stop Looking at my Mom by the Astronomical Kid. Music by Blanco Duece from Staten Island, NY. Filmed on an HV30 in 24fps, using a 52mm Raynox DCR6600. Edited and titled in Adobe Premiere CS4, keying and effects done in Adobe After Effects CS4. I was shooting in shutter priority set at 1/48, and ran into one snag where the video looks slow motion for a few frames (you can see it if you look for it). The camera has done this before when I’ve shot at these settings in low light. I probably should have shot in HDV standard, but thought 24fps would make the motion of the characters look cooler as silhouettes. A big thanks to Andrew Kramer from Video CoPilot for putting together such great tutorials and for helping us learn so much. Thanks also to Blanco Deuce for hiring us to do this video. You can see links to their stuff below the video. We think its a pretty funny response to Stop Looking at my Mom by the Astronomical Kid.

Audio: Rode videomic on the HV30 and the onboard mic on my pentax k-x dslr camera. I took both tracks, mixed them for volume levels added a little reverb, eq, and dynamics settings in adobe soundbooth, and then rendered them as a stereo track to put in the video.
I imported that combined processed track into premiere and also kept the two original raw tracks from the video files. I mixed the two raw tracks down in level, and panned one to the left and one to the right. The main difference in the two raw tracks was that one was very percussive and clean, but lost the expression of the higher chords. The pentax track was noisy and dirty, but caught the finer points and color of the higher pitched chords. The combination allowed a fuller range of sound to come through.
Black and white: In adobe premiere – I used the simple black and white converter, and then added a contrast control, and levels. So those three gave me the texture I wanted. Also shot at HDV24 for more film like motion.
The Pentax K-x took the closeup shot through a nikon 50mm f1.4 lens, and the HV30 took the wide angle shot through a 52mm Raynox HD6600.
