Live Filming

As planned, i attended an event at a pub, The Nags Head in High Wycombe to watch Fluid Lines perform on the 24th September and brought along a HD Video camera to catch them live. My idea was to turn this film Black and white to depict it from the set up performance and gave me the chance to capture the audience singing along to the lyrics and the stage and lighting already set up.

I practiced filming outside to make sure everything was working right so focused on the moon, i liked this clip and may use in in the real edit on the music video. When i used it inside though, something went wrong with the camera and it wouldn't film properly. It unexpectedly came up with a warning sign that an error had occurred and the film may be damaged. I didn't manage to record much as i think the vibrations from the speakers effected the camera too much for it to handle.

These are some of the scenes i did capture, but many of them are cut so short, there are definitely not enough of any decent quality for me to use. This was a learning curve in that i went out and tried one of my ideas and now have to rethink how to approach the filming idea. One plan is to just focus on setting up my own performance setting, another is to try again using a FlipHD camera which is a small hand held device, which still produces good quality images and may be able to withstand the vibrations of the loud noise.
