<p class="large">Video shots from jam sessions in Berlin recorded in 2010</p>
<p>Our team have visited many jazz clubs in Berlin bringing HD equipment to record live jam session concerts. We had to record handheld from difficult angles because the club was packed with people. However the music and illumination was really good so it was worth filming.</p>
<div class="ic"><img src="http://www.blackelkstudios.com/images/content/jazz-bflat-berlin.jpg" width="214" height="214" alt="Live jazz music concert filmed in Berlin" /></div><p>This video has been recorded using optical image stabilization technology that reduces shaking when recording handheld. The footage was further stabilized, enhanced and retouched using post production tools.</p>
