Looking for Advice on a shoot

[toddgeer]

I will be taping short marriage ceremonies at a motorcycle rally and would like some ideas on how to light and shoot them.

The layout is like so:

I believe the couple will be backed against the backdrop with the pastor about centered in the tent. I have a GL2 and a trio of Smith Victor tungsten lights, very simple. I may rent a shotgun and fishpole and buy associated adapters. I will be taping ceremonies in each of the left and right tents (not simultaneously, thank goodness) during daylight and at night.

Any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

don't suppose you could get a column of motorcycles with their lights on the left and right of the ceremony area?

i would goto www.bluesky-web.com its walter graff's site and he has some wonderful tutorials on lighting in specific situations and he shows it and describes it in a way that you can recreate it at home pretty easily.

i went to a weekend seminar he had during the winter in nyc and it was great.
