Topic: Video friendly bands

[Ed.]

holyshit, thats going to be a lot of cameras.

well sweet.

[sidewalksnoozer]

ok ok...

so let's go over this once...

it's me with my sony trv-22

my buddy with his canon elura 85 (or 90 i forget)

edizzle/sheshulED and his cam

plus 2 3 chippers and an 8mm?

jesus.

i had a great shot from the 23rd row on the floor at the paramount in seattle this friday so i may try to deploy myself similarly again. though i have usually been partial to balconies when vidding.

i guess what i'd want to make sure is that both the 3 chip cams were being tended to simply because they should grab the sickest images possible.

seems like we have more cams than people. not the problem i usually run into...

also, when this is said and done, who's mixing it?

my specialty is in the taping itself. my skills past that with the video are in their infancy.

I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but it's not looking good for video at the QOTSA shows. 

Hutch was always the man who would get people in with their equipment if the venue had problems with it, but I talked to him Sunday night and he said it was getting to be too much of a hassle and it was interfering with his duties as soundman.

Audio taping still seems to be OK (which I don't really understand -- if someone from the band informed the venue that audio taping is OK, why couldn't they let them know that video is cool, too, so Hutch wouldn't have to be bothered with it?).

I will try to talk to Josh at the Cleveland show and see if we can get clearance to videotape in Detroit the next night.   Natasha, the keyboard player for this tour, is cool and fun to watch, and it would be a shame if somebody didn't get at least one good video with this lineup.

all my other tapes i've ever made have been on the stealth tip, so fear not my taping brother.

i'm sure edizzle/sheshulED is likely ok w/stealth too.

where there's a minidv cam, there's a sneaky fucker.

[Ed.]

my cam is a panasonic, don't know the exact model number.

If i can get into the balcony for taping (since the show is soldout, i'm sure they'll have it open), i'll just clamp my mics and throw my cam on the edge.  Sneaking it in shouldn't be a problem.  they hardly ever do patdowns at st. andrews and even if they do, i'll have it in my audio taping bag anyway, hidden away.

I taped grandaddy with video from the balcony before and had no troubles.  also, from my experiences at st. andrews is if the band specifically says no taping, then they'll enforce it...if they don't, anything goes.  however, i haven't been to a show there in quite sometime.

sidewalksnoozer, i'll hit you up on aim before the show or shoot you a pm or whatever.  i'm pretty sure if we can get all these cameras in, there won't be a problem running them.

Well, if the venue staff aren't nazis, we might be able to videotape.   Hutch said he didn't want to be responsible for helping people get their gear in, but I don't think he or the band cares if anyone tapes.

I'll try to talk to Josh at the Cleveland show and see what he says.   I won't be able to get online between then and the next night in Detroit, but if anyone who's taping has a cell phone and wants to PM me with their number, I will try to call and let you know what I find out, so we can coordinate where we want to film from.

If we're able to pull off a multi-cam, I'll be glad to do the editing, since I have experience using Vegas and have plenty of hard drive space to capture all the footage.

EODM are playing april 1st in detroit.  i'll be there.  represent!

if everything goes as planned, i'll have audio/video again.

BANDS THAT ALLOW TAPING - http://btat.wagnerone.com/  (LISTS AUDIO AND VIDEO)

[bigwurock]

The Big Wu are OK with video taping....have done about 6 of their shows...no problem at all...

[willndmb]

tim reynolds allows videos

[sjef1967]

I did tape following bands with permission:

Paul Carrack (ex Mike & the Mechanics/Sqeeze/Roxy Music etc.)
Death Angel (Ted loves my pro shot video's)
Agent Steel (used some of my footage as a bonus for their DVD!)
Nuclear Assault (asked Danny Lilker just before the gig and he agreed!)
Heathen (they love my footage,check www.heathenmetal.com)
Helstar
Metal Church 
Exodus (wanna release my footage semi officially)

Most of the times videotaping is allowed by the bands, but not with the management/venues.
They're giving me the hardest times!

Just be polite to bands, get e-mail address and start writing that you just love their music and that
you wanna videotape the gig.
What I normally do is buying any official stuff (like T-shirts, CD's etc)  too, to support these guys.
Do that and tell them. Most of the times they depend on the sales of that stuff.
ALWAYS send the band a (DVD) copy. Even bands like their own footage....     
And do NOT make any copies except for yourself.... and stick to that promiss.

Enjoy

Jerry Joseph allows video taping-pro video requires 24hr notice

[mnm6677]

Anyone know if 30 seconds to mars allows filming? They are going to town soon and woudl like to film if possible. Its in a tiny venue so stealthing might be tough.
