this is my first post in this wonderful forum.
i'm shooting an experimental music video next week and i guess i need some advice.
i am shooting different moving light sources(vari-lites, laser, projections, tv screens) in a very dark environment(black walls) with fluorescent lighting from the ceiling(which i think of using as fill light).
i am going to dim the different light sources down but i think there will still be a lot of contrast.
there won't be any people in the picture so i don't have to worry about skin tones.

i am in pal-country so will shoot 25p in 1/50 shutter mode.

i shot with the dvx100a before but i never used anything else than the standard 25p settings.

how will i get the most latitude out of the dvx100a? any thoughts?
 
i will try do some testing anyway. but there are so many possible combinations
in the menu that i wanted to find out if someone already made some experiences in similar conditions. the lighting situation will be comparable to a live concert (without the band playing). i am sure that there are a couple of people in this forum who shot tons of footage in similar conditions.
i am not too familiar with the gamma, knee or chroma settings. i just don't want to make some obvious mistakes.
 
what does "pirate" mean in this context?
i thought i posted a fairly simple question here and i am a bit surprised that there is nobody who wants to help me out with this issue.

i read other posts already but i couldn't find a satisfying answer yet.
