CoverFucker "ABERDRINK" video MAKING OF

Roles: camera operator, editor

I was asked by the band to shoot the crowd with a GoPro and edit the video.  The band gave me the footage taken by Krakatoa (they have a multicam system filming the stage and someone roaming). 

I used the settings of the GoPro to get some fisheye shots and slomos. I also had a lot of fun dancing around with the public, a GoPro in one hand. Sometimes I had to use my phone's torch so I could get something on camera. 

Sometime after the show, we gathered and watched the footage to select the bits they wanted included. Then I started working on piecing the song together on Adobe Premiere Pro. I used simple effects for the transitions, lights and speed. I also made an intro with their logo appearing and disappearing at the beginning, using their logo the bassist emailed me. 

I sent them a few drafts, from parts or the whole song, testing the intro, etc. until they were satisfied. And this is the result.
