Re: Best Settings for a Ballet shoot
by Noah Kadner on Jul 3, 2008 at 6:58:04 pm

[Brock Fisher] "I rent 3 DVXs to video ballet performances. In the past I have had difficulty with two problems:
1) Color consistancy. I white balance all three cameras to a white sheet on stage prior to the performances. When I produce a multiclip in FCP the colors are different between the spot, side and wide angle cameras and must be adjusted in FCP.

2) Overexposure--under the stage lights white tutus and costumes are overexposed. I have been using the scene file setting that uses 30p. I don't know how to keep the bright white costumes from overexposure.

The final output is for SD DVDs."

For number one- get a proper white balancing card and have all cameras shoot it in the same lighting conditions, ideally before being placed into their positions. Save this as your A Preset.

For number two- use your on camera zebras and ride your exposure if necessary. Do not leave it in auto iris.
