You want to do it all alone ?
Hmmmm ... better get some friends to start and look for the cameras - or just run around and start them all by yourself.
At least you have the full advantage to find almost good positions and shots for your cameras - but you can only do
automatic or fixed settings, which is pretty unsecure and problematic because of changing stage-lighting.
Bad example:
We just did a full concert with 6 cameras - with 4 operators - and 1 girl friend - and the Gopro was a stand-alone of course.
1. The so called trustworthy senior cameraman - 75 years old - stood at very left side on the stage - a stupid position cause I often shot him
2. standing before the first row of audience (like in the fire trench) - shooting mostly from the right side - sometimes close to the middle ...
3. A long shot from last row to cover the complete band plus audience (someone's girlfriend protected that position and tried some changes.
4. The boss himself did the handheld close-ups right on stage
5. The GoPro was fixed above and behind the drummer.
6. One camera was on crane - but we found out the operator had no plans and just activated the AF and fixed the f-stop - but mostly to dark
... A very mixed state of operating awarenes - one half of the elements were close to prosumers - the rest was quite unprofessional.
I had no ways to change that at all - I was just a part of it - arriving at the scene two hours before - but the senior had directed all the positions
and I had very little chance to discuss that now - it was to late - I surrendered - and in the end that senior was no a director at all - just an old
cameraman - and the boss HIMSELF was just a beginner who did not lead at all.
iF YOU'LL EVER TRY THIS - BE THE BOSS YOURSELF - OR JOIN A GOOD COMPANY - or just have your sticky experiences ...
We at least started the cameras almost together and shot the "boss" clapping in the mic of the lead singer ... I hope this has done what
it was supposed to do ... We did not put the cameras off for each two runs of the show - The boss now starts learning how to work on Premiere.
I hope he can almost manage that mess and confusion ....
.... Oh, man !
