I am an event videographer for over twenty years. Your straight forward conversation was "spot on" Only tips I could add are: Treat each event like it is important! Stay on purpose and don't get involved with the festivities unless it supports your shoot! Although you may shoot hundred events each year, your client is often doing it for the first time. So even a small problem could ruin wonderful coverage and create a disappointed and angry client!
"You are only as good as your last shoot"
Thats true your client dont understand your job and often they ask me to do video with apsurd ideas becouse they think that camera see what they see with they eyes and lots of people think that video editing is some sort of magic. For example. o sure video editor vill make me look 20 years yunger. he can put what ever in video in post that is not posible. editing is great but if video material is bad if you shot somebody lets say out of focus, or cut the head bad composition etc. Some times litle mistake do a lots of damage. We are lucky to hawe guys like Anthony his tutorials are pure gold.
I am doing this for underground bands and new projects for free, typically they are all part-time artists and have no money for PR or at all :D. The shows are typically 2-8 hours and there is typically no dedicated area for me moving around I "only" do 2-5 stationary cams.
Anthony is tops at what he does! Kudos to a true professional!
Wow. I rarely bother with the YT comments but I had to for this video. I've been out of the filming game for many years and my day jobs have finally ground me down to the point I am starting my own company doing something I love. Making music videos. I have a gig lined up in around 6 weeks which I am shooting and this video was priceless not only confirming that I am on the right track, but reminded me of the essentials and the basics which are sometimes overlooked but also provided me with some new ideas and creative food-for-thought. Thank's so much for making and posting this vid.
I'm still coming back to this video 3 years later. So good. Thanks heaps.
Simply one of THE best straight forward sessions online these days.
Love this guy. I revisit these videos often to refresh the basics and for general inspiration!
And...action.
From Durban, South Africa - your lessons are on point and refreshing... Keep up the great work.
Very helpful and key to being able to be ready for trouble at live events. Having back up equipment, camera body, mic, etc. Just because little weird glitches can happen. Stuck shutter, firmware update, something and just swap bodies and shoot. Also, its helpful to have plenty of extra cords. I pack a bin with every conceivable adapter, cable, that I could use. Mostly because coming out of a PA can be tricky. 1/8" to XLR. On that note, get the mics as far from the audience as possible. Extra and long XLR cables can help with this, all you'll end up with is some loud person yelling to their friends within 4-5' of the camera. Also, cameras pointed at the audience. Capture their reactions. Person smiling, enjoying themselves, spliced in - brings the video to life. Great, great points Anthony. Thanks.
This is more than a tip, this is a complete training and i can't thank you enough Anthony you're the best
This guy is good. He knows what he's talking about. I've worked on so many shows where the camera people are terrible, that what he's saying is just music to my ears.
This is the best collection of tips I've seen for shooting live events. Solid info clearly presented.

+Mark DiNatale - You're most welcome! Thank you.
super in depth. Thanks very much. I've done a bunch of weddings but wanted to go over a few things!
A-Freaking-Men! I am a stills-only shooter but what you had to say carries over to us mirror-slappers too. You speak from experience and don't just repeat what you've heard from Vlogs before. Well done Sir, well done.
I have to admit that these are great, practical tips. Far more sophisticated than I need, but very very useful. I have had problems with most of them.
Well done. Thanks for putting this together. Lots of helpful information, AA.
Thank you so much for your tips Anthony.
This video was amazing. thank you!
Truly amazing guy. So knowledgeable!
He is just the best. Hopefully I will make Anthony Q. Artis proud.
Thank you Anthony. This was straight up genius!!
Awesomeness! Thanks for all the tips :)
yep, audio really is very tricky when shooting a live event!
thank you for the video
All good advice. I would say though, NEVER trust a venue's XLR cables. They usually buy the cheapest crappy cables they can get (and then wonder why their sound cuts out so badly). Get or make good ones, and never worry about it again... :)
I just saw this video and I love you Anthony. Thank you.
This guy is SO helpful! Thank you!

Very good advice. I shoot live music shows for tv. Each show has its problems to work through. One thing that good advice is checking for shake and vibration transmitted to the tripods

Great advice bruv! Thanks a lot!
Great info in this video, well done! I would like to point out a couple things about my experience shooting events with DSLRs:
Tip #7 - Beware of battery and media card changes
If you miss 20-40 seconds of the action while popping a CF card out and putting a new one in, then you really need to work on being more efficient. It does not take that long to pop and swap a CF card, turn on the DSLR and hit record again, I have done it many times. You can also position your plate so that the battery door is accessible while shooting - you can swing the door down and pop in a new battery and be up and running in a few seconds.
09:20 - Many DSLRs now are at the 30 minute record limit, which is great compared to the old 12 minutes limit. Like you said in your video - staggering each camera is a good idea!
If you shoot with Canon DSLRs I recommend using custom firmware "Magic Lantern" and enable the movie auto-restart feature so you can set it not worry about manually restarting.
Great video glad I found your channel. I’m a upcoming female videographer
Brilliant, thanks
Just amazing.
Amazing 👏👏
Nice job man, your delivery is very concise, I'm only 5 years late watching. Stay well!
