Concert Scene Files?

[sagedrummer]

HI
I was wondering if anybody had found a good scene file that works for concerts in clubs, with bright colored lights, lots of contrasts, etc...
I have searched the boards and it seems like the factory preset Scene File of 'Spark' is a good place to start.
I had a good setting on the DVX100 but don't know how well those scene settings will cross over to the HMC150.

I suggest doing some camera tests to find what you like. When I first got my HVX... and to a lesser degree this camera, just due to time, I went through and found what I liked for each type of situation.


On the HVX, I decided to go with bpress gamma for it's low noise. On the 150, that's not too much of a concern... so I concentrate more on the matrix stuff.. and set something up that handles whatever I'm doing. I have a greenscreen scene file, an exterior, an interior low light, and a run and gun one that gives me more lattitude and flexibility.


I'd say to do your tests with a nice monitor and get it to where you want it to be... having a clapper to log it in the frame speeds it up and keeps note taking to a minimum.

Thanks for the response. I am planning to do some tests but I've got a shoot tomorrow night so I will start with Scene Spark and play around with the settings during sound check to see if I can dial it in. Won't have an external monitor to look at though.
