This was a long video so here are the main points we are exploring:
The challenges of Live Session shoots
+
Why should you consider filming live sessions?
Extract the themes from the song and interpret it visually
Have time to prep and pre-light
Create a gameplan before shooting
Get creative with Lighting
Create layers with Light
Match the vibe of the artist and the tone of the song
Stay flexible when challenges arise
Prioritize your focal points/band members
Get coverage and attention to detail based on that
Section the performances into takes
Get in the flow and groove of who you are filming
Align yourself with artists you like
In the past few years I've shot and edited live sessions for musicians in Germany, Switzerland, LA. Although very different places on earth, the studios usually are a square box that, even if similar, can become a sandbox for you to create and experiment in.

What are your favorite types of shoots?
My favorite types of shoots are shooting live footage and spicing it with a song they didn't sing at the time I shot the video.
My favorite types of shoots are shooting order to this day my albums that from me send email to me
I honestly cant even believe that content at this quality is available to the general public for free. This is extremely professional stuff, really appreciate it!
Was up since 5am to finish this and just posted the final edit so please excuse the low res while UA-cam finishes processing.
Keep these video's coming! I'm loving the content and it helps me a lot on my own projects. Thank you, man.
Legend! You gave me some great tips two days before I shot a 5 piece band in a small room. The shoot turned out to be a great success and without these handy tips it wouldn't have come up so good.
THANKYOU!
I just stumbled upon this video. It’s pure gold! Plenty of useful tips! I’ll rewatch it for sure. Love your attitude and energy in front of the camera, by the way. Congratulations, Kris!
This video literally made me get out of bed at like 10pm to rearrange my office/studio in preparation for my music video shoot this week (which I’m filming and editing myself 😳😵💫😅). This helped me so much and I’m less overwhelmed and more excited to knock this out of the park! Kudos to you and thank you!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🤗🤗🤗
I get that a lot, late night inspiration is shockingly motivating.
@@footlesskicks1750 Exactly! It’s pretty much standard at this point 😂🙌🏾
Same here
Thanks for showing this, I’m a music video director for a music school and was excited how other people film music videos. I love the atmosphere you add, the fog in a can effect.
Which school ? I’m looking for a school to apply for sound engineering
Your channel is so informative. I’ve search for tips and tricks on how to film and edit a music video session. You are the only one who covers it all.
Keep it coming Kriscoart.
I'm gonna be making videos on this topic too. Just posted a video about it too, check it out! ua-cam.com/video/DCx0hUdRvc8/v-deo.html
Super information! Quick but very descriptive, love your thoughts on going into the the studio before the session. Getting the lay of the land. VERY HELPFUL. Thanks Kris. I'll be back
I got a project this weekend and I was looking for some extra tips. thank you for the video it really helped me get my plan right :)
You're the best, these videos are very informative and inspiring!
Exactly the info I needed... Thank you for making this video
I am totally interested in having you breakdown all the things for us! Thanks!
Good points. I actually felt scared when I used to record live sessions in night clubs and let me say, there is times when there is dark places. Later I learned about the low light prime lenses and I fixed the problem. Now I am getting big on setting up lights for live private recording sessions. And this video has helped me alot.
Duuuude thats incredible
Thanks for existing. Really needed this !
Great informative video so happy to find another channel that is more about what it takes to make better movies rather than gear gear and more gear, keep it up
Thanks Kris. wow just so refreshing. Im only starting now with music vids. I learned a lot. Thanks.

Well done, this is a great video. Thx for sharing! Greetings from Luxembourg
Wow, super helpful.. thanks!
Great tutorial. Did the musicians perform with a tempo mark in the headphones? Metronome?
excellent video thank you!
Thank you very much! Very helpful.
Thank you for watching!
Amazing, can you make more, or where can i learn more of this? Do they repeat the song a lot of times, or is it one time shoot?
Very nice. Thank you.
Thank you! I'm going to shoot my studio session soon. I learnt a lot!
Amazing! you can even shoot it on your own too. I just put out a video about it, that you can check out here ua-cam.com/video/DCx0hUdRvc8/v-deo.html
The tv to the head was a great part 🤣😂
Hey I know this was last year, but have you ever made a music video from live one take footage to the song they sang in recording ? just wondering if you would ever do that
Thanks for your advice and experience of filming. I didn't catch exactly what camera and lenses you used. The audio quality is great too. What did you use to achieve that?
Bro. This is right on time. I just got picked up to shoot a rapper's live concert mini tour. I've never done this kind of work before. Are they're any other vids I can watch that'll help me out?👊
Thanks! This video gave me motivation and inspiration for my first live session the day after tomorrow!
That's awesome! Hope it went well
@@KriscoartYep! It went well! On process with the editing :>
Very usefull !
Thanks 😊🙏
Best.
Glad to see im not the only one wondering about how the audio was done! Anyway we could get a vid exclusive on that by chance plz!?
Hey, so I actually just dropped a video about this and I discuss the audio in the video! Check it out ua-cam.com/video/DCx0hUdRvc8/v-deo.html
That was great tu^ 11
Thanks, great advice, I plan on recording myself, guitar vocals, another guy on a cajon .singer songwriter original songs. I have 3 nikon cameras, maybe I can borrow one more. Zoom h6, a few mics and a great space. Wish me luck.
Hi Kris,
Thanks for this wonderful piece. I'm a newbie hobbyist videographer and I recently got a small gig for a live recording like this, and I'd like to know how you were able to effectively capture the audio. Did you just get the audio from the studio and slapped it over the video, or you had your audio plugged in from one of the studio's audio mixer to reduce the stress of post production?
Thank you.
Really looking into outdoor session right now
Thank you. Very useful.
Albino from Mozambique
Excellent
Gracias
Bruh.. you showed your editing scene and my gawd that is impressive hahaha thanks for sharing!!!!
Glad you liked it and found the video interesting! Thank you for watching
@Kriscoart Thank you for continuing to educate us. Question How would you handle syncing and capturing the audio in a live performance? Or o you just go with the on camera audio and get a track from the Artist and sync from that?
This is my question too
Has to be performed over a backing track of the bands song I guess to ensure the audio to movement sync of solos / drum hits / vocal mouth movements?
Great video! Do you ever use a gimbal for smoother pans?
How did you record the audio for the live performance?
I get a cinecom vibe from your voice😁
Thank you for this! I have a question about the sound. How do you capture the sound from each person? Mic or instrument? I want to shoot a video like this but I’m afraid that the sound will not be right. 😊
You have to make sure that you all the audio recorded separate and edited/mixed. If audio isn't your expertise it is worth it to work with someone who will be able to focus on the audio recording and mixing for you to sync with your video. Make sure to record audio on your cameras though for easier syncing in post.
Thanks for this video. I was wondering what camera and lens you were shooting this video with, thanks!
Crack 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
hey man! can you make a video about how to filming with handheld. Thanks!
Great video. Question. Did you shoot this live session in S-Log? I’m wondering how you achieved that cinematic look.
how you manage to sync the audio?
impressive works! What pp and luts do you use for mv?
Great video, were the band miming to a previous take for each take or playing to a click track so that the sound was later overdubbed, otherwise how could the sound be synced ?
I wish there was more info on audio signal flow or what mixer you were using
Great video, thanks for the tips. Where can I watch the music video for this session?
Bi subscribe! Super useful info
When it comes to syncing the music, are you choosing just one "live or previously recorded live" audio track? This part is the only part I can't wrap my head around. Are you using the actual music from the live performance or are they giving you a track and then you sync it that way with the live? I hope this isn't confusing lol.
As long as they're playing to a click track so each take is technically the same length and structure, you can just do a couple of takes, sync up the stuff that's actually diagetic. Harder to do on one camera with multiple people as there's some room for improv (drums for example can be a bit more free flowing than say guitar, which, unless it's a solo or something pretty much HAS to be the same thing because that's how the song actually is).
i do my own videos like this and you can use both, but i prefer to use the live version i record when filming because then it syncs to the millisecond and doesn’t require any extra cutting/editing
Nice video ! Thanks for sharing!! What is your camera set up ? Do you shoot at 24 fps ? And slog or scinetone? 🙏 thanks
How many cameras do you use for live stream and how long does it take you to record a session?
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
When you do single camera setups like this, how is the audio usually recorded? Are the artists doing playback to a pre-recorded track or are they performing and recording live? If the audio is recorded, how do you match audio and video once you cut everything together? I mean it does not make sense to close up on the fingers of the guitarist during a solo and actually hear a solo from a different take, right?
Recording live session u need audio recorder like zoom then with one or two cameras u can sync the audio without problem pluraleyes is ur friend to sync audio and video
I discuss that in my new video!
All handheld? Great video!
hadir om kris :D
Where can we watch the final videos for the two sessions you showed us in this video?
what kind of focus mode would we use in these ?
what was that fog machine you used?
Did you use any stabilizer?
Can you do tips for recording a live concert buat only for personal use. Amateurish type that good enough to Watch later. With phone or with mirrorles camera
i have a question how do u record sound? and when you change angle or person how do u line up the video with the audio? if your using one camera?
Hey! Good question. Usually the cameras are synced up to one main audio recording. So if the artist wants the video to be based off the original song we use that or if they want a live session recording (as was in this case) the artist will record the live session and use the best take of that. So still one audio track to sync everything else on
Is there a link to the finished product?
How do you edit multiple takes of the same song played in a live session and make sure the audio matches? Even the best musicians will have some slight variance in their timing on each take. Thanks!
Hey! From my experience, a click track allows for multiple takes of "B Roll". The first take is live and the "A Roll". It is very important to get as much usable "A Roll" as possible. The musician(s) have a click track in their monitor, which allows for maintaining the same tempo for all footage.
how you record the audio?
link to editing video?
What is the camera settings? Iso, shutterspeed, f
