Rock concert first time - multicam shots (2x GH2, GH3, GF1, GM1)

surfag — Tue, 13 Oct 2015 07:00:33 +0000

My first attempts of shooting and editing a live rock performance - the group called ZEP plays only Led Zeppelin songs.

So far I did no color grading - just plain cut with Edius.

Any feedback appreciated.

Concert vid of the finale from Corelli's Concerto No. 4. Best in 1080p.

Looking for the best hacks for shooting live video.

Good evening everyone. I have had my GH2s for over a year, and have only dabbled with hacks because I am nervous to use them in a live shoot incase something goes wrong, I could loose out on having footage. I typically shoot live Rock bands. This year I will be filming 3 Cruises in April. (Monsters of Rock cruise, Moody Blues Cruise, and Cruise to the edge) I have 3 GH2 cameras (2 I bought new, and 1 I just purchased used) I would like to try one of the hacks that would be best for my type of shoots. Think Concert stage, can be inside with concert lighting and outside poolside or on the beach. I will also be doing a lot of meet and greets and interview stuff. The end result for everything I am shooting is for a DVD / Bluray disk for the People to buy (It will be a few months after the cruise) I have a few different lens, the 14-140 HD Panasonic lens looks the best over all. I did just purchase the 45-175 HD Power lens, I have only gotten to play with it a little, I got it to be more like a video camera with w/t toggle. SO far not to impressed. I also have a Large Canon lens that is modified to work with the camera. It is pretty good but I still need some time with it to use it better. (Canon BCTV lens with Powered w/t) I realize that I could record at much faster data rates that would make it look better but that would cut down on how much I could record. So I would like to keep my record times to allow for a 2 hour show. I already have about 8 of the San Disk Extreme 45MB/s and I have a few 40 and 30 cards as well. I would prefer not to buy anymore at this point. Any suggestions and help is greatly appreciated. Dave "Ravage" Stabley

Chalky looking footage, skin does not look smooth?

Pretty disappointed with how my GH2 footage turned out. I shot a live band performance from side stage, and gave up on trying to fix it in post. The venue was very well lit, but I remember being at around ISO640. Was it overexposed? No matter what I do to the image color correction and grading-wise, it looks terrible.

Any tips on how to not do this again in the future would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Somehow this theme resonates with me more than ever.

Multicamera setup: 50i hacked or 25p HBR?

Hi guys, I just wanted to ask some of you maybe more experienced than myself.
I am currently in pre-production of a multicamera live music shoot.
For those of you who maybe already tried this-
I will bring my GH2 and my HV30 (which also does 25p) to a shoot with already about 3-4 interlaced cameras there.
GH2 of course will be main cam.

The 30min limit will be a problem in the 3-hour long concert, but i can restart the cam. no biggie.
From your experience, would you rather have hacked 50i or unhacked 25p in this live-event to intercut?
target is DVD.

Thanks, folks!
