Two-Camera Shoot of Rock Concert: EX1's Color Match Perfect

How did I miss this thread?

Great job on this one and love the motion menu.
I thought it was a good key.....creative licence is allowed as perfection is hard to achieve with such an effect.

Lighting was great at that venu......gives me good pointers.

Of course a second EX3 would help.

How did you communicate with your second camera guy to sync zooms and wide shots when the other camera was covering?

Great audio....your right about audio being treated as a long way back second.
Whats your opinion of Seinheisser Camera Mics of any kind?

Now that I have a piece of the actual concert footage up on XR, you can appreciate what was necessary to pull that key for the menu.

Communication? We had to forego that. Ethan and I discussed strategy beforehand, noting that each of us would be prioritizing certain shots and framing. The rest falls into the category "great minds think alike".

That audio, at this budget point for the production, was only possible thanks to the EX1. It would have cost a LOT more if I had to do separate audio recording and synch it in post.

I've no real opinion on Sennheiser mics. I've used them in broadcast studios. They have their uses. Frankly, I feel that sound capture for film is an area that is somewhat lacking, both in techniques and in the types of equipment used. Good audio is not in the brand of mic you use--it's in how YOU use the mic.
