My friend is in a band called Concrete Rose and they were asked to perform at Trafalgar Square for London Gay Pride 2013. They wanted a backstage video so I went along to film them. When we arrived we were given backstage passes and I followed the band into the backstage area where they started to rehearse. I wanted the video to be kind of 'fly on the wall' style to show what goes on backstage, but then I thought it would be good to have some interaction with the camera also, therefore I was not sure what style to go for so thought I would film enough to do both and see what one I think works best in the edit. I filmed them rehersing, talking, eating, getting their make up done and just generally preparing! I then went out to in front of the stage with all the photographers and plonked my tripod and camera in a good position for the performance. It was slightly delayed so I took some shots of the crowd and lights etc for pick up shots. Concrete Rose then came and performed three songs. It was a very fun day and they looked very good on my camera. A few screen shots are below along with the final video.
