Hey people,
Thought a while before asking, but I figure if I'm going to get better at this I need to hear some criticism as well as good things. And I'd rather get smashed by you guys, than people on another forum that I dont know :)
So,
This was done by a friend and I with 7 pretty ordinary cams ( the best prob being the GH2),
we locked all exposures, but that made the problem of very dark spots and very bright, sometimes blown out faces, when lights came on full.
Better to have auto exposure??
The GH1 long shot kept turning off ( when they tell you that the patched firmware never fails indoors, DONT BELIEVE THEM, 17 mbps is better than no mbps).
Would you use a Hack at live events/ weddings?
Does anyone know a way to rig up a budget crane/jib? A guy on another forum said he swings a GH1 with a wide lens in a holster tacked to a piece of PVC pipe over the heads of crowds to get those expensive looking shots. I'm toying with the idea.
Overall I was reasonably pleased with what we turned out, but I realise it has a long way to go before it looks "Pro".
There has been a fair bit of interest to do more of these as well as a couple of dance concerts to do over the next month or so which I'm hoping to shoot in the same manner.
So, anyway, all advice is really appreciated.
cheers.
