Rome & Randie Redux in HD

First-off, I Iove these kids! They are so damn talented, it's amazing. They are the definition of synergy, the total being greater than the sum of the parts. 1+1 = 2+++, equals Rome and Randie 2up!

I shot this footage at the XDL show in Long Beach at the Queen Mary in 2007. There's several clips from this event on this Ducandy channel, but they are all in low-def 240p because then, five years ago, that's all you could put on Youtube, HD is a recent development. By today's standards those clips look like shit, so I am putting some of the old footage up now, in full 1080P HD, as it was originally filmed.

YouTube has caught-up to my video quality, finally. I did shoot a little hot that day, (too bright) the camera was brand new and I was unfamiliar with it, that's my excuse. I tried to darken it in post to kill the bright background, but everything I tried detracted from Rome and Randie, made them lose contrast and get too dark, so you are seeing the raw footage.

Big thanks to Randy Grube and Thomas Evans from XDL for letting me shoot there, www.xdlshow.com and find the kids at www.facebook/RandR2up.

Cheers,

Andy
