Go to nikonusa.com to get more information on the Nikon D90.

The video came about as part of a 6 part tv show I am producing about the girls from Project Sunday and I had the idea of making a music video for each of the girls. I was working with Melanie at the time on Electric and we decided that this would be the song we made a video for. She ran with it and came up with the basic idea for the video.

While I was in a photo shoot for another act, I was talking to the photographer who owned the studio and he mentioned this new camera with HD recording facility. I was going to use my Sony HD but decided to check it out and ended up on this site. After watching a few examples I was sold. I got myself a camera and spent a day reading about its various problems and workaround and started shooting.

I didn't care about its time limits as I used to shoot on super 8 and was used to limited filming time. So we shot Electric over 3 days (not consecutive) and here is the result. Hope you like it.

The song & video is available to pre-order from vhprecords.com

    This truely shows that the Nikon D90 is as good as the top end prosumer cameras. Absolutely Fantastic Kenny!!

    did you do anything in post or while shooting to achieve this image quality???

    The main thing I did was to get the light and image right at source. I think that was one of the most importan things. I also used Sony Vegas to do all the slow motion parts and made everyone dance to the song sped up by a couple of semitones so I could get them to move in sync with the music at normal tempo.

    I have been trialing NewBlue FX which is a bit like After Effects and I think it is pretty good but because it's a trial version I basically used Sony Vegas to emulate the settings which did a very good job i must say.

    I will do a complete tutorial on it soon :-)

    Make no mistake I am raving about the Nikon D90.

    nice vid.

    but a little confused as to why you did not use any depth of field.

    althou the compositions, framing, locations, talent were all good the actual footage looks like it could have been captured by any hd camera.

    was it because of the lens?

    good vid thou.

    the music isn't really my style BUT i love seeing people use the d90 for more 'professional' purposes. on that end, i think you did a great job working within the limitations, and i'm definitely looking forward to seeing what you come up with next.

    Thanks for the comments. I shall be doing more and more videos. As regards the DoF well good point but in fairness I was finding my feet with it and originally planned to use my other HD camera so all the ideas were set. But watch this space.

    Great looking Video! Can you describe how you would guess that your HD camcorder would have looked different than the D90? And what model camcorder do you have?

    Nice shooting and editing. The only thing I might do is add a little diffusion in places. Everything seems a little too tack sharp. Diffusion is sexy.

    I have the Sony HDR-UX1E which is the HD handycam. It is good but the colours of the D90 beat it to submission. On the day I shot it with both cameras and the D90 was that much better straight out of the box. So I went for the D90 for the edit.

    Re: Diffusion, yeah I see what you mean and thanks for the tip :-)
