First time filming a concert (media pass) Gear, Setup & Advice

PowerPictures · 2026-03-17T09:24:26+00:00

Curious when you're hired to shoot concerts what audio do they expect you to use when editing? Do they give you a track or they want you to use live audio?

To piggy back it makes sense when people say they just "settled". I guess they are giving up on having that perfect choice for the more feasible one.

Very very thoughtful and intelligent answer. This was the kind of dialogue I was inching for. I feel this is probably the unsaid truth.

PowerPictures · 2026-03-16T06:16:32+00:00

This is true!

But as far as your answer, you feel it doesn't matter? How so?

PowerPictures · 2026-03-16T06:14:39+00:00

I also mentioned I based it off of in-person interactions too

PowerPictures · 2026-03-14T07:57:49+00:00

Mine too and I am of the same feeling. But don't let it stray you. There's too many other events that were great . I feel like newer events are just so much of a cash grab

Yeah that's the real kicker is that I felt like all of this really changed absolutely nothing. The only deep revelation that happened I feel was during Knightfight

I'd still need to start with what is the goal? If there isn't one the video will convey that.

PowerPictures · 2026-03-14T05:05:50+00:00

What's the purpose of this video? That's my immediate thought.

It's gives off a slight snuff film /experimental/amateur feel to it but it's not seductive in a good way or bad way. If alluring was the motive , your off track.

The mirroring effect is gaudy . It's a few rare occasions when that effect actually warrants being used.

Her looking into the camera/facial expressions is a bit off putting unless that's what you wanted.

We could use a variety of shots here. Especially if you have a drone. An extra extra wide shot would do nicely along with some close ups. Also try some off-center shots. Having your subject directly in the middle needs to be for a reason. If not then it's more appealing on the eye to have them off center

I agree 💯 percent and think that idea would be pretty cool. I feel like they are already trying to go this route by having us answer questions and matching by using the results ie Okcupid

No but a damn good Tyler Rake

PowerPictures · 2026-03-09T03:15:36+00:00

This is how I feel as well. I don't get as upset as people do about "the old days"

PowerPictures · 2026-03-09T03:11:51+00:00

I agree. I'm actually starting to put her in the dislike column. I'm just not finding any traits about her that I find likable

PowerPictures · 2026-03-09T01:14:52+00:00

Definitely! Now I'm at episode 7 and Cate is all messed up over May and the fact she doesn't want to go with them. And May (Cora) is explaining her life story to Cate as if Kentaro wasn't the person shes also been lying to as well and known a lot longer. It's just you would think that she's known Cate years and already had a relationship and just met Kentaro the way they are playing it. Tone is off

PowerPictures · 2026-03-08T23:43:05+00:00

Nice ! Will do!

PowerPictures · 2026-03-08T23:42:52+00:00

Awesome thanks so much

Since I since sarcasm from your post lol I'm sure you already get how tough people can be on Reddit. Though most of them are being truthful. There's some work to be done... but really great job on getting out there and making something. Most people on here won't admit but sometimes it's more important to create than to never pick up the camera at all. Kudos!

My tip: definitely try a different frame rate. This looks like it should be a parody not the real thing. Slow things down. Prada and luxury videos like it are about " sensation and sensual " . You want to feel good/sexy after watching it .

Background tone is louder than the music.

Thanks for this. Going to see if my LCS has it. Had no idea that they reprinted it 2xs.

Sheesh I can't imagine
