18. Riley sings "Don't Stop Believing"
2 years ago
10. Riley Flies
3 years ago
For father's day weekend, I had a choice of what to do. So I said, I want to do a fun music video with my son Riley who just turned 8 recently. I wanted to play with my Canon 5D which just came out with a new firmware upgrade for manual video setting. I also wanted to play with my "Do it yourself" gadgets like the "zazaSlider" which is a rail system to slide my camera like a dolly shot (see picture on this page). Thanks to zazaCast of dvxuser.com for the instructions on how to make one. Well, here's what we came up with with the help of a couple of friends and Riley's cousin. We shot for a couple of hours in downtown Filmore, California.

    did you convert to 24p?, How did you get the "glow" look and you colors?
  • Ronnie Silos 2 years ago
    Thanks Nick. I used Magic Looks. They have a setting called warm and fuzzy. I used about 75% of the effect. I used compressor to convert my footage for Vimeo. I didn't do a 24p conversion. So it should be 30p. This is so much fun! I love learning stuff!

He should be very proud of himself. I already know you guys are. And props to the little actress :) It all looked very natural. The video was wonderfully shot and you really did the camera justice. Thanks for sharing!!! xo, Ai

    Hi Ronnie, I saw this video at dvxuser.com. and I must say it is one of the most inspiring debut videos of the Zaza slider I have seen. I left a comment in the forum about this video and have just managed to get my slider constructed too so I will aim to produce something I am proud of like I guess you are proud of this. It is an excellent production and your son is a star in the making. Keep doing your thing both of you and I look forward to your next music video. Hi Riley, hows the moonwalk coming on?
  • Ronnie Silos 1 year ago
    Hi Urben, How is your slider coming along. Sorry, I don't get to go to the forums that much. Share some videos!

  • Ronnie Silos 1 year ago
    Hi Cherie, Thank you for your kind words. We are looking forward to making another. We are definitely due making another one. Riley and I appreciate all the encouragement as we both learn from this and hope to make better.
