baking sheet

samuel,

That's funny. I've been doing the same thing for a diffuser. It's true, girls don't like it when you shine brights lights in their faces, especially if they aren't models and used to extreme lights. Looks like we are doing the same type of work lately as well. I see what you mean about having the gain set to +12 vs. the lower settings.

Something I did notice when I went home. I took note of the gain settings, but in the dark club did not think to look at the gain control. In my head, I reversed hi and lo, so when I switched down I mentally thought I was decreasing gain. What I was really doing was switching to plus 12. I'm shooting this Saturday, so we'll see what happens.

I had heard that about the DVCams. I actually had to insert some footage from a DVX into a recent shoot and you can tell, because it looks way better than my HD footage (in terms of color, not so much on clarity).

Thank you everyone!
