I did a live handheld gig the other day. It's been a while. This was a fundraiser here in the OC for CHOC Children's Hospital. A ton 'O' fun. The production was being done by Pacific Coast Entertainment
out of Huntington Beach, California. We were using the new Panasonic
610's - nice cameras. Lighter than I expected. They are P2 based and
have just 2 slots instead of the 4 that the 500 has. Great EVF. I
think I was actually in focus most of the time - LOL.
The
headliner was Keith Urban - great show. He did about 90 minutes
straight through. I was in the pit and the fans (mostly ladies) all
wanted to get as close as they could to the stage and I was between them
and the stage... The director was really nice. He's the tour video
director and wanted to test out some shots during the show that they
might use during the actual tour IMAG.
The event raised a little
over 2 million dollars - YAY!!! They auctioned off everything from
first up in the valet parking position to a couple of Keith's guitars.
The crew was fantastic. I hope to be invited back next year.
Until next time, good shooting and editing and grading,
