Extra little job

I've somehow managed to pick up an extra filming deal for a friend. His gaming guild is having a get together coming up and he wants to create a music video to announce the location. I happen to be the guy with the camera who can edit stuff together.

It's going to be a super easy shoot. Three or four takes of my regular actress, dressed as a madam, singing along to the karaoke version of a song. I'll run the stereo mic to get her vocals clearly, and then dub the music back over later to make sure it's all in balance in the audio mix.

Editing style I'm looking to emulate cheesy 70's era videos, with lots of fading between the wide shot and a profile of her face. If I had a green screen I might use that too, but fortunately he's got some curiously velvety furniture to be used. Nice!

That'll be this Saturday. I expect to have it mixed and done by Sunday, cause he's on kinda a deadline for uploading the video for the announcement. Should be fun!
