Thanks so much Ben!

I knew I was missing a critical piece of the puzzle.

Makes it so i can sleep much better.

Thanks again

Thanks for the help guys. So if I understand correctly I should be looking for the biggest available space so that when the set is lit, the light can travel far enough to die out and not light anything like walls or ceilings. Then with the camera you would play around with the exposure (?) so that the blackest areas (the rest of the venue) appears as black.

Ideally, the set should be all black, but what are the chances of finding a venue that has that big of a space that is painted all black? If the floors are another colour, or have a design on them, could I cheat and put a floor covering? How noticeable would that be? To properly light the set, how many lights are we looking at? A few Kino’s ?

I’m also guessing that the size of the venue depends on how strong your lights are? So I would need to find a space that is large enough to be able to light the band properly and have the light properly die out? An airplane hangar would be useful… 🙂

Hey, sorry for the lack of info, we used a Canon XH-A1 HDV Camcorder and captured the footage thru FW400 to a MacBook Pro 2.2GHZ Intel Core Duo. I then copied the captured footage to my 320GB external HD. I would recapture the footage to my FCE 4 but the camera was a rental.
