Filming at Moles

 Last night I was fortunate enough to help out Nathan in the 2nd with filming the bands at Moles. There were 4 of us filming in total using:

• 2 Sony Z1 Cameras
• 1 Sony A1 Camera
• 1 JVC HDD Camera
• 2 Digital SLR Cameras (for the headliners only)

Originally Nathan had only been asked to film 1 of the bands but we ended up filming all 3 of the student bands that performed: The White Hart Gang, Alyse in Wonderband and Audrey Costello.
The headline act were Esteban for which Nathan and Mike took pictures.

We set one Z1 up on the right hand side of the stage, the JVC camera was hand held on a gorilla pod and the other Z1 and A1 were both handheld. It was a great experience and I hope that I can lend a hand doing this kind of thing again soon.

The valuable thing that I learned from last night is that you need to expect to do more than you think. For example, Nathan had only been asked to film one band but obviously the others had seen what we were doing and asked us to film them too, it is obviously a very good way of making contacts and from the gig Nathan managed to get another booking in a couple of weeks at Belushi's.
