freeze frame

[focalintent]

The other night I went to the dna lounge to go see Psyclon Nine and Imperative Reaction play (photos coming soon). I took videos of a couple of the songs to play around with video on the 5d mk II. I learned that I need to get a better mic for it, for one. I also learned that this video thing could be something fun to get into. Also learned that while in-lens image stabilization is nice, more support would be better. Also, also - focus can be an interesting project. Finally, I learned that the software at vimeo that chooses a "preview frame" for your video has a great sense of humor, or just luck - as it chose the frame just before an overzealous fan body checks the lead singer of Psyclon Nine down into the crowd :)

(apologies for how noisy the video is. Some of it is because the builtin mic on the 5d2 sucks, the rest of it is because Psyclon Nine are a bunch of screeching, loud, noisy motherfuckers)

Yay. :)
They played down here in Phx while I was up in Reno, sadly. So at least I get a little vicarious show-going, thanks to you. :)

I also have a few more videos from that show, two from Imperative Reaction and one from Dismantled who did a few shows with them on this tour.

Comparing listening to their album at home to the concert, I feel like my speakers at home are lacking a certain ... punch
