First we kicked off chasejarvisLIVE, then creativeLIVE… so you figured out I really dig this LIVE thing. Well, today, I’m excited to share that I’ve also been working hard with a little coffee company down the street called Starbucks to help bring you StarbucksLIVE. To kick this off, I’m TODAY at 12 noon PDT (3pm NYC time) doing a LIVE photo/video shoot with multi-platinum, Grammy award-winning musician, Sarah McLachlan. Sarah will be performing live from a little nook inside the Starbucks headquarters here in Seattle, and we’ll have a few cameras and a few mics pointed at her.
WHAT YOU’LL SEE: In our typical style, the setting should be pretty relaxed. We’ve set up a baby grand piano, some basic lights and cameras and we’re going to make some great video images while Sarah plays from her new album, Laws of Illusion. Besides Sarah’s beautiful performance, the other thing you’ll see is me and my crew actually working. How bout that. This is the real deal. If you tune in a little early you’ll get to see us …putting the finishing touches on our gear and set up for a couple hours prior to Sarah’s live performance. I won’t be rapping with the camera much, as I’ll have my hands full, but I think the show should be a fun one.
Use the comment section below to ask any questions you’d like answered about what we’re doing, how we’re doing it, gear, anything, you name it, I’ll try to answer it. And btw, Starbucks just announced this to their 8.1 million Facebook fans–and this ain’t broadcast TV, it’s the internet, so get there early if you can. You can ask questions of Sarah and make requests on the Starbucks Twitter handle using hashtag #starbuckslive.

Hey there!
Sorry to bug you again. You guys are always so good at answering questions, and I seriously appreciate that. I just had one last one. I love your guys’ video work, and especially what you can do with the Nikon D3s. I also have a D3s, and LOVE it. It’s unreal. For an external Mic I use an Azden SGM 2x shotgun mic. I really like it, other than the fact that I have white noise, like that background just quiet buzz, as if you were to record nothing on an old tape recorder and then play it back. So when I’m doing an interview, the people sound great, but there is that buzz that sounds extremely unprofessional. How do you get that crisp sound so literally all you here is the person being interviewed (granted you’re filming in a quiet surrounding)? I can only think of it being one of two things. 1>The Microphone? I know you had recommended the Rode Stereo VideoMic. If I use that would it cut out the noise? Or 2…the XLR cable that runs from my Mic to I believe the 1/8 port in my camera? I just bought a short one off B&H so I didn’t have all this extra cord. Could that be the problem? In other words, what do YOU GUYS do to cut out that noise? Anyways, sorry for the long comment. Just could really use this help. You guys rock. Thanks so much for your great tutorials.
