Recording a Show - Event Video Set Up

Recording a Show

Get into the venue 1 or 2 hours before curtain up

Close up camera that I’ll be operating - Canon C500 mk1

Fixed wide angle camera - capturing the whole stage - Canon C70

I use a mid/side stereo mic set up to record the performers and audience

Two separate mics are placed closer to the stage

A live feed from the sound desk is also used

Radio mics mean no cables trailing along the floor

All mics are recorded on a Sound Devices MixPre II

A quick frame up before the show

Video and audio is edited together and delivered on USB/DVD/online.
