On the bus after the official first night on tour. Let's just say in terms of the video side of things is was a rough start. I think from this point it will get better but there were some struggles. We started off real well getting all the queues and video playbacks but there was some communications problems. The venue were pretty adamant about having their own director run the camera ops and switcher so I was just giving the queues on who he should be on and what shots he needs to cut in.
Haha it was actually amusing because the mistake I made was being able to communicate to the director (and thus him to his camera ops) who was who. For some reason all my descriptions of who Reuben Morgan was (he ended up being leather jacket man) or who Ben Fielding was (red guitar lead) or other people in the band didn't work at all. Apparently "guy who's singing" isn't a good enough description. Good lesson learned though. Never assume.
It's pretty cool we have a few remote controlled robo cameras at our disposal. Certainly interesting. Not as flexible but the more camera shots the better. Plus they're not as intrusive as a whole camera-man moving around.
More updates (with pictures and video) later! God is Able!!
