Ironbird Studios was excited to be a part of an incredibly colorful video shoot for Jersey City based roots/reggae band Kiwi.  Bathed in candyland colors by the in-house lighting system – the lively 10 piece ensemble intimately packed themselves on to the stage of  Shrine World Music Venue in Harlem NYC.  17 songs later, the band had some amazing video to use for online exposure and promotion.

The single camera shoot allowed organic handheld camera movement, employing the Manfrotto Fig Rig camera stabilizer.  The tight quarters encouraged the use of a Century Optics wide angle lens, squeezing the whole band in to wide shots from only a few feet away.  The sound was recorded with a Zoom H4n recorder in 4-channel mode.  2 channels of soundboard audio and 2 channels of room sound were later mixed in post production.

Please learn more about Kiwi at their website,  and visit their YouTube channel to see the videos we produced.
