Documentary / soundslide - Rockband

[aa.still-life]

<p>I did this soundslide earlier this year.<br>

The band is called Melou - I find them quite talented and I admire their hard work. If you choose to watch the story, make sure to have your sound turned on - otherwise it will make no sense.<br>

(The story is to be found at this adress) http://bokehmia.net/photo/soundslides/index.html<br>

I haven´t worked with soundslides before, so I would like some critique.</p>

<p>Best regards Morten</p><div></div>

<p>Well done Morten. As Travis would say, "It's fun."</p>

[aa.still-life]

<p>Thanks! And Travis, they entertain their audience in such a loveable way - I do not doubt they´ll say "It´s fun" : )</p>

<p>Very well done. I liked the images as presented and there were quite a few that would stand on their own, completely outside of the slide show. My only rather small suggestions would be to incorporate a few more crowd scenes to show the atmosphere of a concert. And on a technical note, allow for slightly longer fade in/out on the images, it seemed the slightest bit rushed.</p>

<p>BTW, I could have watched 15 minutes of this, work on a longer version. </p>

<p>Thanks SP for a very good critique. I must admit, that I haven´t got that many crowd shots that I like - partly because I shot the whole thing with a canon 350D and a sigma 24-70 2.8, which as you might guess perfomed very poorly in low light (and I simply do not like flash), so the lighting in the crowd was too damn dim. I could take a look. I appreciate that you say you could watch 15 minuttes - you have no idea how much I struggled to get the story down to 5 ½ . It was ment for a news-paper, so I thought that it should be very short. People have no patience. And the fade, you are right. And the pictures could as well stay a bit longer as well. But as I said, I struggled to get it down, so it is a bit rushed.<br>

Perhaps I will give it another try when I have the time.<br>

(I apologize for my poor english grammar - we have another system in Denmark)</p>

<p>If you don't like flash you need to spend some time <a href="http://www.planetneil.com/tangents/flash-photography-techniques/">here.</a><br>

Here is a link to a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/37135917@N00/sets/72157607973253253/show/">pre-wedding party and then the actual wedding</a> that I shot for a friend - both the party and the wedding were at night with very subdued lighting and therefore almost every image incorporates flash. <br>

Once you get the hang of it, you'll find that 24-70 2.8 perfect for shooting in low light.</p>

<p>I think I'd say just what SP had to say in his first post. A little longer on some. Sweet pics though and the narration and music were cool.</p>

<p>Hi everybody,<br>

I'm working on a free alternative to soundslides, called airSlider.<br>

Take a look at it here:<br>
