3. The Pipa player
2 years ago
guardian.co.uk staff photographer Dan Chung films Zhao Cong playing Chunjianghuayueye (Moonlight over Spring River) on the pipa, a traditional Chinese string instrument. Filmed in front of one of China's most famous landmarks, the Drum Tower in Beijing.
Shot on a single Canon HV20 and graded in Magic Bullet looks. This simple video had to be shot in only two takes and then cut together, the audio is from a radio mic into a Beachtek adapter.
See guardian.co.uk/world/china for more China coverage by the Guardian.

Great to hear from you! thanks for the compliment. Did you realise you sold me a pano head a while back? I'm still doing 360's, have a look here arts.guardian.co.uk/flash/page/0,,2265500,00.html and here arts.guardian.co.uk/flash/page/0,,2264468,00.html
Cheers

Beautiful work Dan. The Guardian is lucky to have you.
What were your settings here on the HV20?
Also,did you shoot with an adapter?
I could have done this on the D90 and added some better cut aways, sound would not have been too much of an issue as half of the video see is manually syncronised anyway. That said this was a quick and dirty video so the HV20 is probably better suited.
