Things to know about videotaping a live event
You've decided to have a video for your live event. Most live Kauai events that I videotape look awesome. You should be aware, however, that live events sometimes come with surprises, which are not always good. The video is nothing like photography where the photographer can take multiple shots in order to achieve perfect placement and perfect exposure. The video is happening in realtime, and it usually means without any opportunity to shoot a second take. Below is a cut-and-paste from a blog I wrote way back. When you read it, you might think oh that doesn't sound good. Just know that I've never taken on a video project I could not complete and have it looking pretty darn good. With a few, perhaps, not the way I had intended and, perhaps, not the way my client had anticipated. But still good.
So....
While a live taped event can go off without a hitch, sometimes snafus happen and because it's a live show, not all snafus can be fixed. Even with a well rehearsed live show mistakes or glitches, even downright disasters can happen, although with a well rehearsed show, there’s more likelihood that it will go off as planned.
With low budget events, such as weddings, family gatherings, intimate celebrations, etc, unfortunate occurrences can happen. A rain-soaked canopy can topple and take down a camera on a tripod. Radio interference can disrupt wireless audio recording. Some equipment issues might go unnoticed. This happens to the best technicians and artists. The event is on and it’s not stopping and the snafus are recorded (or not recorded) and sometimes the issue cannot be edited out of the video. Most good videographers know errors or mistakes can crop up from time to time. Most good videographers have backup gear, and contingent plans, which might resolve the video differently than planned. And sometimes snafus make content creators, like myself, think outside of the box. Often they produce videos even better than hoped for.
