shoot with the sdx 900 - pleez help!

[sam williams]

hello everyone,

 

im in a bit of a fix, im going to be filming a music video in a week, well actually more of a dance video, and i dont really know much about setting up the camera for the shoot. I have brought a good tripod and am willing a to buy anything else i may need for calibrating the camera correctly for the conditions in the studio.

 

I know that the lighting will remain the same throughout the video, all the lights have diffuse papers over them to simulate an overcast daylight. And during a test shoot with the xl1, i noticed that many of the dance moves are quite rapid so there was alot of motion blur, but maybe that was due to the aperture being set incorrectly.

 

so basically once i have the sdx 900 on the tripod in the film studio and plugged in, what processes should i go through to ensure everything is ready for the shoot.

 

thanks for helping me with my newbie question.
