SOT: Shakespeare By The Shakespires - Real 16:9 for Lucas

Shoot info & some Tips.

Clip: 10 mb.

This clip posted here is from a theatrical performance I shot. Even if this is shot with Hi8 Video I re- found some general important factors to be aware of for all sorts of filmshooting that I think is useful for all amateur shooters:

This clip is shot in true 16:9, not letterboxing. The camera actually allows a wider frame area in 16:9 than in normal 4:3 or the optional letterboxed "Cinema" format.

• Real 16:9 - Excellent for shooting theatrical performances actually.
• Exposure - almost impossible to adjust/compensate with a grayscale viewfinder.
• Colours: No manual control or monitor - :(
• Video latitude - next to nothing
• Wonder what the Vision 200T would could have mastered this.? See next time. :wink:

• Sound - next to impossible with the built in mike. Auto level only. Bad
• Sound: Cam noise excessively high - external mike required.
• Sound: Better: plug a MD or whatever (any recorder) into the mixers line or XLR tap.

Later I will post a clip particularily for Lucas: The Rap version of some Shakespeare piece. This play is strange: Interactive with Shakespeare and interactive with the audience. :? :!: :?:
