do you use any lights mounted on your camera? |
That night was the first time I used it at Guv, so there's a learning curve as to when and when not to use it. In the very dark places, which basically are the places other than the main room and Kool Haus, some type of lighting is needed. I found that if I have the light in my hand and cover it half way, the light seems to be sufficient enough to do the trick for the very closeup stuff. As in the case with Deko-ze, etc. When I used it in the main room I used it full, as in the case with the crowd shots and Chinamon. Outside of Chinamon, every other person didn't seem to mind it as long as it's not trained on them too long. That's where you see the ppl hamming it up and reacting pretty good. The more chances I'll get to use it, the more I can get a feel for any negative reactions. After all not everyone is in the mood, especially when the place is relatively dark compared to the brightness of the light. I got the idea of using it from when Shaya got me up for a few minutes to record Above & Beyond. Their camcorder dude had this mega floodlight on all the time and ppl were not freaking out when he was recording crowd shots. He also had it on for quite a bit too. BTW he was a really nice guy too. He said my camera was wicked for the size, as he had one of those large professional one. I wonder how his video turned out?
I prefer to not use it at all, but there are times when it works out great... again referring to The Orange Room and The Drink. I also noticed the Shaya had used some type of light in some of his videos as you can see when it's turned on and off.
As for Chinamon... sorry buddy, I'll make sure it doesn't happen again. :)
