Ariana Grande – Fake Smile (Sweetener World Tour, Vancouver)



#ArianaGrande #Sweetener #thankunext

This song was an absolute nightmare to try and get to a decent enough level that I felt worth releasing. The lighting was extremely harsh throughout most of the concert, which is pretty much impossible for me to do too much about, and ultimately some of the stuff came out darker than I would have liked, mostly because I was trying to keep the quality as high as possible. There is always a trade-off between quality and how bright a dark scene will appear since on a fixed aperture, you have to either alter the shutter speed or the ISO. The real problem was the audio however, as the audio sounded decent in the original recording, but after I edited the video and re-encoded, for some reason I was getting pops and clicks in the audio. After a whole bunch of trial and error, I eventually had to try and cut and use the original audio with the new video, which took some time, but it should be good now at least.

Ariana Grande – Break Free (Sweetener World Tour, Vancouver)



#ArianaGrande #Sweetener #thankunext

This video has been edited from the original, as I had already been working on it for quite a while. Unfortunately, like a number of other videos, the audio is still blown out in parts because of the bass from the speakers. I really need to figure out a way to control the audio while recording to limit those bass thumps, since they are virtually impossible to get rid of once recorded, you can only reduce them slightly, (if you are lucky.) The one downside with being so close to the artists is that you are often right beside, or under, the massive speaker setup.

Ariana Grande – Dangerous Woman (Sweetener World Tour, Vancouver)



#ArianaGrande #Sweetener #thankunext

This video took a TON of editing, as she was essentially a red blob in the original footage. (You could tell it was her, but because the lighting was SO harsh, she just radiated red to the point where it was very distracting.) Due to the absolutely mind-blowing vocal performance she gave for this song, (which I think was probably overall the best of the night, and even the smile on her face at the very end as she finishes shows the joy she got from that ultra-powerful rendition,) I decided to spend quite a bit of time working on it, trying to achieve the highest-quality video I could. Although it still isn’t the best by any stretch, at least she looks human in the footage and there is some hint of skin-tone that isn’t fire-red. I really wish I could have done better, but the only downside to her concert was the fact that the lighting is terrible for anything that isn’t a professional camera, set up to deal with those harsh conditions.

Ariana Grande – Side To Side (Sweetener World Tour, Vancouver)



#ArianaGrande #Sweetener #thankunext

I honestly wasn’t sure if it was worth posting this, simply because the quality (in my eyes) is pretty terrible. Unfortunately a lot of the footage is probably pretty similar to this as well, seeing as the lighting was extremely horrible for filming on a non-professional camera, or something that you could easily do color conversions with. Again, my positioning was also completely wrong for most of this concert, which is why my footage doesn’t live up to the standards I always try to achieve.

Normani – Waves (Sweetener World Tour, Vancouver)



#Normani #FifthHarmony #Sweetener #ArianaGrande

So, unfortunately for Normani, she had a ‘wardrobe malfunction’ during this song. She didn’t stop the song and luckily for her she was able to figure out a way to deal with it, using her long hair. The one strap on her top either broke or came loose, which is why you can see a strap hanging down for part of the song. If you are wondering why she kept her left hand over her heart, the reason is because she was trying to hold her top in place, using her hair as added coverage. It may or may not have led to her doing the routine for the song exactly as she had expected, but the fact that she continued on, adjusted and still gave a good show was both brave and impressive. I had wondered during the song why her hand was kept there, but it wasn’t until just before the next song when she actually told the audience she had had a ‘wardrobe malfunction’ and didn’t want everyone to see her ‘goodies’ that it was made clear. For anyone wondering, if there had been any ‘exposure’ I would have either censored it out or not released this video at all, so you don’t need to waste your time looking for anything.

Ariana Grande – God Is A Woman (Sweetener World Tour, Vancouver)



#ArianaGrande #Sweetener #thankunext

If you just want to go to a particular song:
Raindrop (An Angel Cried): 0:00
God Is A Woman: 0:52

This is probably one of the hardest videos I’ve worked on in a long time and it still isn’t all that great, but after working on both the audio and video for hours, I finally reached a point that I don’t think I can do anymore. If it is possible to clean it up more, it is beyond my capabilities unfortunately. Once again, the original video was pretty much blobs of red, as the strobe lights and everything were extremely powerful and washed out virtually any color other than red. For the audio, I had to strip nearly the entire bass section, because the pounding was so powerful and overwhelming that it not only overpowered her singing, but it also made listening to the audio pretty much unbearable. Moments of the sound getting blown out still exist throughout the song, but it is nothing compared to what it was originally. Just imagine those muffled thumps being nearly all you could hear and that will give you an idea of what it sounded like to begin with…

Ariana Grande – Thank U, Next (Sweetener World Tour, Vancouver)



#ArianaGrande #Sweetener #thankunext #Encore

Just so people are aware, there are about 20 seconds that are slightly out of focus. This was because I wasn’t able to see the screen clearly when I was recording and it took me a few moments before I noticed anything wrong, which I then quickly refocused. Unfortunately, because of how dark it was, along with hands, phones, etc, constantly in the way, and doing everything manually, you are constantly having to try and keep track of it all. Because they came out of the floor, it also made tracking more problematic. Luckily it is only a short amount of time and not while they were doing anything important.

This was the encore for the Sweetener World Tour and showcased a little bit of everything from the concert all rolled up into 1 package.
