Description

Here are two more live music videos from my performance series, BPM Live Sessions. These videos feature Los Angeles rock band the Falling Doves, Christopher Leyva and Mike Dorsey.

Shot mainly as one continuous live take, my intention is to show the musicians without any studio trickery. I set up 3 cameras on tripods while I operated a camera on a monopod. Each performer wore a Sony wireless lav mic, going into a Tascam DR-70.

This is sort of my baby, so my role in these music videos is pretty all-encompassing. I book the artist, coordinate the shoots, set up the equipment, and shoot and edit the video. I also mix the audio, usually recorded multitrack.
