Looks good Ben. Nice job. Like the color effects in the field stuff.

One tip (as I am suspecting that you used 2 EX-1s for at least some of it): it looks (especially in the stage stuff) that the picture settings on the 2 cams were different, or more likely that one camera had an IR filter and the other did not. The camera on the dolly has the tell-tale reddish blacks on some of the band's clothing, and in the other angle the colors look more normal. If you only had one IR filter, it would've been best to not use it at all so that the colors matched.

I am guessing, though, that only a tiny percentage of the audience would notice this, but just a tip for future multi-cam type stuff.

Good work, though.

Thanks for the post Benjamin. You're correct we did have two ex1s with and without the IR filter.
Good eye.. since I never mentioned it! For the next shoot i'll have to break down and just buy one of those filters.
