Silver Apples Studio Session

Today we filmed another multi-camera studio session, with 60's musician Silver Apples.  For todays session I had hoped to work behind one of the cameras, but other people also wanted to have a go on the cameras so I decided that I would occupy another role.  I was given another camera that was attached to a track and was directed to look for shots, taking advantage of the track.  As the camera that I was using was not hooked up the vision mixing desk, it meant that the director was unable to see what I was doing, this meant that I was able to do what I wanted.  I also didn't have any headphones so it wouldn't have been possible for the director to communicate with me.  When the shoot began I used the track and experimented zooming in and  out and tracking at the same time.  I felt that some of the shots were excellent, and will hopefully be used in the final edit.  I tired to capture footage that the other four cameras in the studio couldn't such as the equipment that was being used and tracking up the microphone onto the singer, which wouldn't be possible on one of the other cameras.  Overall I think that the multi-camera production was successful as it looked and sounded amazing.
