Nine Inch Nails in Chicago - Aragon Ballroom, Night 3 - October 27, 2018
More than two years later....!! Here is my video of NIN at Chicago on their 3rd night, and it has everything except parts of Hurt. A little description from another place I posted this:
This took a while to put up because the video I had of the main set ended up deleted in the camera, and, since I couldn't just Ctrl-Z it back, I had to start from square one in figuring out how to recover it. However, by trying a bunch of ways to get it back as a file and then Handbraking it, I was eventually able to get 99% of it back, though the audio was out of sync because some frames were missing in the video. It had a few other glitchy artifacts too, but I guess it fits the aesthetic... I then synced the audio to the video as much as I could, synced the camera's audio to Tapeworm48’s audio recording of the concert, cleaned out some of the audience noise in both recordings, mixed them together, and then EQ’ed that for YouTube. I also did some captions and small color fixes.
Other than that, I think the video speaks for itself. Compared to other concert videos I’ve taken, this one has a lot of “story” in the form of crowd, security, and band action. There’s some moments of camera blur going on because my autofocus settings weren't ideal, but I'm going to pretend that it was a creative decision... There’s also a lot of chance shots that came out really well IMO. It took me a long time to handle its issues, but eventually, throwing enough effort at it brought it to its current state.
