Hi,

Does anyone have any good tips on camera setup and what to do / not to do when shooting a concert, I've never done one before.

The gig will be in an intimate large-ish pub style venue, and the crowd will vary between rowdy-to-riotous-to-insane.

We've got three maybe four cameras.

We want to get different aspects of the gig from crowd reaction, to mosh-pit, to band interaction.

I was thinking something along the lines of;
Cam1 - Tripod steady longlense band shots
Cam2 - Handheld close-up bandshots
Cam3 - Handheld Crowd / moshpit / bar



Anyone got any good experience they'd like to share with me?

Cheers,
Marcus
