With the Sundance Kids video done, and the next Time Defeated band not playing until later in Febuary, I decided to film a show at Evergreen. Mostly it was because Margy Pepper was playing. However from the start there was trouble. I was only able to get one camera for the shoot, but I decided to go through with it anyway and try to make it work. The venue, Evergreen's HCC, was terribly lit with one bright blue light in the center of the stage, a dim yellow light by the window, and several banks of fluorescent all over the ceiling. But once again I decided to make the best of it.
I filmed the whole event, which was a Recycling Awarness deal, which afterwards I decided I will not do again. My ultimate goal is to help talented local bands get better known, but that doesn't mean i can't pick which bands i want to film. Regardless, shooting with one camera presented certain challenges, especially in terms of keeping the shots interesting without making the video unwatchable. The lighting also kept me on the move, since half of each band was lit on a different side, making half the band silhouettes. Anyway, hopefully it all worked out, but I guess we'll see in post.
