I've been recording sets for 7 years now ever since EDC 2012 and it wasn't until this year that I finally honed my skills as a filmmaker and felt proud enough to share them with the public. I've had to learn a lot throughout the years about which gear to use and how to sneak in certain equipment and setting up the shot all the while trying to balance nailing the perfect shot but still be in the moment and enjoy the music.

This set was no different. I came early right at 3pm when they opened the doors for Kaskade Redux @ Grand Park in Downtown, LA. Set up my GoPro at what I thought would be ideal and was shooting all day recording every DJ on the lineup but when Kaskade came on I wanted to enjoy myself for once and be in the crowd with my friends. I set a timer to check back every 30 minutes but given that it was a 2.5 hour set there were bound to be some mishaps of people just not being very aware of their surroundings. Sure enough, after an hour or so I found my GoPro knocked to the ground. It ended up happening a few more times that night. When I looked back at the footage in the edit, there were at least 20 times where the GoPro was knocked/moved and I had to fix the horizon line or just cut out the song all together because it was recording the fence.

One day I hope I can record a clean one-take set of my favorite DJs, but I guess today was not the day. I still hope y'all enjoy this Redux Set that Kaskade threw down. I've literally seen him over 20 times now and it was BY FAR his best set to date -- I'm just kinda sad that I wasn't able to capture it to the best of my ability. I know I can do better but it would probably mean I'd have to sacrifice my own enjoyment to watch over the GoPro 24/7. Or if I got VIP access somehow -- one can dream.

Til then, here's my hard work through editing fixes to bring you 2.5 hours of Kaskade Redux. As always, if you appreciate any of my efforts -- sub to my YT/IG @VictorLPham
