Hi all! This is my first post...

This video was shot using a T2i with the kit lens (18-55mm) and a 50mm prime lens (f1.8).

For lighting I used two floodlights from a hardware store set on stands w/ a blue gel. I added candles and flashlights to try and create some depth in the image.

I attempted to use a poor man's version of a steadicam to steady out some of the darker shots with mixed results. For the shots with the stage, I learned my lesson and stuck the camera on a tripod.

This is my first attempt at making a music video and I would really like some constructive feedback, or tips for the next video :)

Thanks!
