'I'm Feeling Tulane' - Green Envy (Run and Gun Music Video)

[Chris Niswonger]

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share my first gig as a part of the RED family! This was a music video for Tulane University showcasing their acappella group Green Envy. I had 2, yes 2, crew counting myself with 2 in-house producers. We had 3 days to shoot all of the photography and I had two weeks to edit and deliver. So, this was a very fast paced production with very little help so it was a huge challenge operating while directing.

The look: wanted an high key, bright, pastel look to match the bright vibes and color palette of New Orleans and Tulane University. Shot on Weapon-MG mostly at 5K with the Sigma 18-35 Art on the Ronin with Easy Rig support. Some handheld at 6K with the Canon 24-70 f2.8 ii.

Please let me know what you think, and questions, or have any suggestions on how I can improve. THANKS!

-Chris

Nice job Chris. But I would say that High Key doesn't mean low contrast. I feel a colourist can bring some punch to the look.

Amazing work, especially for a first gig. Agree with Bob on the color.

Thanks fellas! I would have loved to have access to a colorist for this piece!

The client actually wanted the low contrast look as well, but I bet a colorist could persuade them with some other options.
