Since it seems that everyone is spending time watching the Op Ivy video I just posted, let’s do this short one for the collections post today. I actually forgot that I even had this and I was archiving footage to blu ray and I was like “what the hell is this” haha.
I left home as early as I could because I wanted to see The Queers set. OF COURSE I hit brutal traffic and missed most their set. a 2.5 hour drive turned into 3.5 or 4 hours. I was scrambling around the front and the backstage area after I got there while the queers played, trying to find the person with my video credential. By the time I got that sorted, I got 2 minutes of the set. I was bummed.
Man, this one turned out pretty good. By this time of the night, most of my camera batteries died. I didn’t have enough batteries for both G9ii’s, so you get one angle from me, but my friend Guerin Myall filmed some angles up close to the stage, so we were able to edit those in as well. Thanks Guerin!
I was also able to get the raw multitrack files for most of this set (thanks to Shawn Biggs) and mix them- shout out to Patrick Hills for making this multitrack mixing setup idiot proof- even I can do it! Finally, my schoeps sound like total dog shit but thankfully John Loughney was there with his mics and they sound way better.
As always, big thanks to my old friend @PunksNotDeadGR for the edit. What a great team effort. Thanks everyone.

Here’s one from my collection tonight. I posted a portion of the show from one angle right after the show back in May, but I finally got the audio mixed and both angles edited, thanks to my friends.
When I mixed the multitrack audio, it sounded really great in my (nice) studio headphones. Now that I listen to it on the big stereo speakers, the bass drum sounds distractingly loud. If it sucks, let me know. I can re-do it.

Alright, you get not one but TWO 4K Multicam videos from Punk in the Park. This one is a repost with better audio. We had been holding off on these punk in the park videos because my Schoeps recordings were NOT good. The problem is that I need to look upward at my camera screen which points the mics up at the ceiling. Thank goodness that John Loughney was there to record as well!

Alright, you get not one but TWO 4K Multicam videos from Punk in the Park. This one and a better version of Good Riddance (better audio). We had been holding off on these punk in the park videos because my Schoeps recordings were NOT good. The problem is that I need to look upward at my camera screen which points the mics up at the ceiling. Thank goodness that John Loughney was there to record as well! I’ve been a Lagwagon fan for a long time and this was my first time seeing them. It was okay.

Here is the first multicam edit from the Punk in the Park show back in May. HUGE thanks goes out to Shawn for inviting me there to video RKL. Another huge thanks to Guerin Myall for sending over his 4k camera angles to use. This one is a 7 Camera multicam! First time we have ever done such an eloborate 4k edit! Thanks also to punksnotdeadgr for the edit- glad that edit PC didn’t melt down doing this one.
The only drawback is the audio IMHO. The audio track is my schoeps mics and while it sounds pretty good, I needed to look upward at my camera screen throughout the show and you can really tell that I was moving the mics around while doing that. It must have been the size of the venue. Just nitpicking I guess. Hey John Loughney- did you record this set? How does it sound?

I figured I would post a little sample of what’s coming- thanks to Shawn (RKL TM), I was granted not only an all access pass to the show, but artist parking! I was stoked to pull right up to the entrance, park, and walk in. Thanks Shawn!
I was able to video all bands on the main stage starting with RKL. RKL through SW were with 2 cameras. I was getting low on batteries so Pennywise had 1 cam. There is also multitrack audio for some of the bands which may get used, if ok. My friend Guerin also video’d, so who knows.. maybe more cameras can be edited.
Since it is somewhere between 1-2TB of data, I am still trying to get all of the video off of SD cards and onto the RAID. I figured I would give a little taste of the middle of the set here while I work through all this.

A big thank you goes out to Thomas Harvey, Morst, and David Basham for coordinating me a camera pass. With The Fillmore’s over the top security, there was no way I could have gotten my DSLR into the venue without them. Thanks and sorry night 2 didn’t go well with the security for you guys.
Even with the help, it wasn’t smooth getting to the venue and getting in with the camera. Massive traffic jams from Sacramento meant that I had to take the north bay- golden gate detour to save time, then the box office acted like they didn’t have my credentials (they did), then once I got them, they made me wait at the back of a huge line to get in…due to over the top security searches at the door. I finally got ready and to the filming spot at 8:28pm, and they went on at 8:30!
The angle is pretty decent and unobstructed for the first hour-plus. Greg is a bit distant but I did my best to keep him in frame. Zooming up would lose focus at times on Greg only. Then at about 70min in, 2 tall dudes come and I had to shoot between/around them, so this isn’t as good from then on. Why didn’t I move? Because that would have affected the audio quality, plus I knew security wasn’t going to bother me at this spot so I didn’t want to risk it.
I don’t know why the hell the audio is so low– I pushed it right up to max when I rendered the video for upload.. for 31 hours…
But wow, what a great show! Just an absolute killer of a setlist. Thanks to the band for coming from all corners of the world to make it happen. What a treat. I got to see songs performed that I never thought I would see. Plus, I got to film a complete show at the Fillmore, which seems like an accomplishment.
Oh, and the last 20min or so is not great because I am old and filming like this is like doing yoga, and my body was breaking down. I had a ticket for sunday, but I was a slug on the couch instead.

Today has been pure chaos and it is only 9am! I just need to get to Aftershock by noon and all will be ok. Let’s do the collections post first today. This is the last of the BOB Fest videos that I shot, and what a show! The only nitpicky issue I have is with the gopro on the bass player, it is a bit off center but you need to guess when you set these things up and I guessed wrong.
Sorry to Dick- I promised him that I would have a multitrack audio mix for this, but Gilman changed their policy on that which is why this was all audience audio. Still not bad, it sounded good in the room.

Here’s one that I video’d back in April. Jesse Townley (Blatz, Gr’ups, Criminals, Pathogens etc) and his band came over from England to play some shows here. They have 2 albums out and the latest is on Alex Botkin’s Lavasocks Records, so if you want one you don’t need to worry about overseas shipping!
I wasn’t able to get a soundboard but the Schoeps mics recording turned out pretty good. Jesse’s vocals and the guitar were a bit low so I bumped them up in Izotope.
