Another test shoot. We've GOT to do something else with that skin-colored back wall. DARKER PLEASE!

Perhaps commando cloth or even velour curtainage.

I LOVE the shoulder-mounted camera up front. This gets you UP CLOSE and PERSONAL with the music.

A wooden picnic table doth not a camera platform make.

Logan, you made some good decisions, pulling out during slower sections of music, etc. Good call on the two shots and three shots. I wouldn't go any wider than that. Let the static camera handle wide stuff.

If I'm between shots, and you are between shots, I MUST fall back to the static wide camera. If I fall back from a wide shot, it looks weird. I have to fall back to it from a portrait or two shot in order to look like a natural cut.

Hot Tungsten lights = a lot of sweat onstage. I'll be looking at some MUCH cooler, yet MUCH more expensive flourescent studio lights. lowel.com/fluotec/

adorama.com/LLFLS250CYND.html?searchinfo=FLS-250CYND&item_no=1 A couple of these would create a nice soft wash along the length of the stage.

Flourescent light = less energy consumption + longer bulb life + MUCH LESS HEAT OUTPUT!

Rush job on the audio. I'll be spending more time this weekend finessing it.

Thanks everyone for all their help!
