It will get a result, but you may not be satisfied at all with it. In short, it's a lot like using AGC on your recording device. And, if autofocus is on, any movement through the sensor area may cause focus hunting, and it may not end up at the same place. but if there is a change, getting to each camera to adjust may be impossible. Locking the exposure is fine if you have that option. Stages are rarely evenly lit, and the usual black-clad musicians tend to lead to washed out highlights. More to the visual point, setting up cameras on (I assume) autofocus and auto exposure is that neither works well in this situation. Perhaps something like Sony Bloggie on top of a mic stand (have a pair of mics on a bar, and video recorder on top of the bar). I was just wondering if it were feasible. More archival, but with a bit of video interest. In other words, I'd like to downsample to std def where raw video wouold be hi-def, and zoom only to limit of std def (no pixel replication). Don't want the apparent resolution changing during the entire video. Ini fact, I'd like the whole finished product to appears as if it were all shot in standard def, with three cameras. Just a tad more interesting than a pure static video. I'm looking for stuff like, when the horns play something outstanding, I can cut to the horns. Then edit with cuts, pans, and zooms, all done in post. Then sync the audio to video on all videos. Then record the concert (both audio and video, the emphasis being audio). I had in mind placing a few small hi-def video recorders, locked down, before the concert. I should have included more background info.
I guess it depends on what you're trying to do! :] Obviously if it's a film-clip or some other form of cinematic creation then what I mentioned above is no longer an issue for me.
Although, this would of course be perfect for some genres! I put it up there with replacing mistakes or over-dubbing onto a 'live' recording because in a way you are 'changing history' (or at least the perception thereof) and in my opinion you are creating a contrived, fake live performance. (Probably not relevant to you being a one-man band and all!)Īs an artist I personally don't want out of sync shots for a live video recording of my band because it feels tacky and fake to me.
but it's always a lot more obvious to me than they seem to think it is! If you are going to take shots out of sync just don't make the mistake I see oh, so often of reversing the kick and snare. I know a lot of video producers use shots from all over the place and even use crowd shots from different gigs etc. Personally I think a proper live video (no shots out of sync) is much more exciting and I seem to see them a lot more these days with the proliferation of cheap HD video recorders.
