Short Learning Time
Well i finally ordered my XL2 after 2 years of debating and I am the most excited. Anyway i am going to be shooting a live performance in a club setting (dim lights, colorful lights going everywhere and all that jazz) and i am wondering what settings have worked well for other xl2 users in similar conditions. Its gonna be tough as I will only have about 4 days with the camera before the shoot. But let me tell you I am extremely happy to finally get this thing. Any help at all will be much appreciated. By the way i will be using the standard 20x lens. Much thanks again.

Mike, Ah, a fellow Michigander. I'm originally from Grand Rapids. Congrats on the new purchase! I just shot a very low light scene for my short with my XL2.
http://www.indiefilmer.com/nuke/modu...iewtopic&t=100 I used -3 gain, 24p and used the tungsten setting for my wb. But since I've never shot in a dark club (with my XL2), I will defer to Greg. I believe he is right about the 30p being better in low light. |
Thanks a lot guys. I will have no idea what settings are good since i wont have much time to play with them but I will for sure follow your advice and i trust that you have plenty of experience. Thanks a lot for the help, wish me luck.
