Five tips to create a music video here: randallevans.com.au How to make a cheap and effective music video: randallevans.com.au This film clip was shot over two days. with a canon 7d using a canon 50mm lens and a tokina 11-16mm. The beach scene was not shot on a go pro. I chose to use the DiCAPac underwater dslr rig. I didn’t want to submerge the camera, I just wanted it to protect my gear from the waves. It took one day to work with the actors in Bondi and we shot the guitar solo as the sun was just rising over the waves. It was enhanced with Video CoPilot’s optical flairs. The band in the dark was shot on a separate day out in the sticks. This was the band Cascades first clip, and my first music video as an individual and not working for a company.

You’ve come along way Oscar and Henry!
btw i love this lens!
GREAT JOB guys!! the song and the video are really impressive!
Thanks dude. Dave is my idol haha. Did you come here through a comment I posed on one of his videos ?
For the solo it was all handheld with cheap underwater housing (like the qualshot, but a different brand). I only really wanted the housing to protect from the waves, I didn’t want to risk taking the camera under the surface for more than 2 seconds.
Thumbs up if you came here from Dave D!
Great job and story telling, keep up the good work.
Cool video, you did a great job!!!!!
Dave brought me here. Great video you made. You directed and edited it out as well? Thumbed up!
Did you use a waterproof housing for the underwater shots? Was this handheld or did you use stabilisation?
Like if you have not hearD a F*ckin good rock song in ages! DAMN.
omg love ittt!! keep it up guys
Yeah dude, that lens is a GUN !! Pretty much shot 70% of the clip with it. Even the underwater stuff.
Thanks MoscaMedia,
P.S Lucas left the band Ages ago, the guy in the water is Abijah.
Did you use an 11-16mm tokina here?
Did u film this urself? great one
Solid stuff, 3:53 =nailed it
If there is a follow up video for Circles, should be a video of a dog chasing its tail
Great stuff Cascade I like it
Far out Oscar, Henry, Lucas … guys. Amazing clip. Amazing song. Remember hearing it at the Annandale gig. Amazing!!!
Dude awesome production! Awesome group!
great song of cause look at the keyboard player his amazing sounds like my brother, oh wait he is 😉
That’s true. Also, if you’re going to be shooting DSLR video it’s even more critical to get the proper exposure in camera.
What shovel analogy was very good!!!! I really believe that it should be used in textbooks.
Thank you!
Very useful. Personally though I find it very easy to pick up stuff against a wall with a shovel, so I’m not sure about that analogy.
Loved the shovel analogy. Perfectly explained.
Your explanation is so easy and clear! I finally understand what a histogram is and how to read it! FINALLY! I’m so happy. =) Thank you so much for breaking it down.
very informative…
The whole point you miss, is if you’re a decent photographer, you shouldn’t need Photoshop or any other post production software as a crutch to fix your mistakes.
Furthermore the more balanced your shot is when you take it the more work you ‘can’ do in photoshop! It’s better in every way
No, but the closer you come using the camera to make a good shot the less adjusting you need to do post processing. Photoshop and other similar software are great, but don’t let them become a crutch. Too many fall into that trap and never really learn how to use their camera.
Great explanation! would you say that you need to get a good histogram in the camera in order to get a great image after post processing? an ok histogram cannot make a great image in photoshop?

Generally speaking if you’re going to error, error on the side of being slightly underexposed. This is fairly easy to correct post production. If your image is badly overexposed it tends to “blow out” the highlights meaning you have large areas of no detail, just bright areas, common in shots with lots of clouds or any large bright objects. This is next to impossible to correct post production since there is nothing left in the “blown out” areas to adjust back to.
Cont 3
If your hues appear off, most often that can be easily correctly by adjusting the camera’s white balance which when properly set will remove color cast.
Cont 2
While it is easy enough post production using Photoshop or similar software to use the levels or curves tool to effect the overall distribution of pixels and thus change the histograph and how the photo appears while still shooting with your camera you need to adjust exposure by adjusting apeture settings and/or adjusting exposure compensation, etc.. Many cameras will show overexposed areas and flashing highlights when previewing. Finally the histograph has NOTHING to do with hue.
Cont 1
The middle third midtones. So you can tell at a glance how balanced the photo is. Too many peaks in the left third of the graph means the photo is underexposed. Too many in the right third, overexposed. While no two photos will generate the same histogram and there is no such thing as a “perfect” histogram” most well exposed” photos excluding very dark or bright shots should have a roughly balanced distribution of pixels with no extreme peaks or absense of peaks in the histogram.
The purpose of a histogram is to graphically show the makeup of the image. It is a common tool is video editing and photo enhancement software like Photoshop and is finding its way into more expensive cameras. A histogram is actually a bar chart. Each bar on the vertical axis represents the NUMBER of pixels at a set gradiation. The extreme left represents the darkest pixel, extreme right, brightest. Visualize the histogram as three areas. The left third are shadows, right third highlights.
You made me look again at the value of using a histograme. Thanks. Easy to understand.
very good, thank you very much!
LOL he speak like a french Canadiyen ( like i also am)
bravooooooo… o’kane explains it very clearly…..
merci for your explanation Jean; it was very clear
Awesome explanation! Thank you for providing this.
Thanks alot, one of the things i’ve been needing to get straight.
EV = exposure value. Exposure compensation is an option, but when you shoot in M you have to do this yourself by adapting the aperture or shutter time of the camera. Do you know how to meter? If not find a tutorial on that as well.
yeah that’s a good explanation
