Kira's Harp Music Video

I made this music video for Kira Gunn, the talented emerging & astounding harpist of Perth. Her performance was magnificent. What we did was that we recorded her playing live on the location first, which took a couple of takes. Then, we started recording the actual footage for the video. I used all three cameras I had got, and moved them around each take. We did quite a few takes. This gave me great flexibility, along with an irritating amount of headache dealing with them during editing. Because we didn't use a metronome or speakers when recording, I had to try to align and seam each part. She surprisingly kept a very consistent tempo, which went to show how much she practiced. The nightmare continued when the time for colorgrading came. Because all three cameras had different characteristics, and, worst of all, my a6300 captures only in 8-bit, which made it really hard to work with. In the end, the final result came out well enough and I'm very happy with her performance.
