So far, so good. </p> <p>I have a friend that is an Elvis tribute artist and I tried filming his show a few weeks ago at a club. I had some problems! I've watched a ton of tutorials on how to set up the camera, but I'm still a bit confused! I have a few questions...</p> <p>Focus: I manually focused on him on stage, but couldn't get it "sharp". The autofocus seemed to do better, but lost it when the lights went on and off. What am I doing wrong? What happens if I take focus of him while on stage, but then he walks the crowd towards me... do I lose the focus?</p> <p>What is the best way to set up the camera for this type of setting?</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks for your help!</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/my-first-paying-gig#post-37376 Thu, 12 Jun 2008 01:28:33 +0000 dbrt30 37376@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I was wondering if anybody can help me out.</p> <p>I'm a broadcast student that just graduated from San Francisco State University. I was asked to videotape and event that will be happening at a club this weekend and I was hoping someone can give me some pointers on the best way to actually record this event.  The promoter asked me if I could capture the event for him.  It is a birthday celebration that he is putting on at the music club and he is also going to have a live performance. What are the things that I should look out for while I'm at the event?</p> <p>I would appreciate the advice.  I look forward to hearing from everybody...</p> <p>Thank You,</p>
