Summary

Much like the first evening in regards to process. Proceeded around the club and got as many dancing around as possibly. Got some nice shots of the DJ up on the second floor.

I'm learning exactly what Ravi wants in regards to shooting style. Even though it's handheld he wants the shots to be as steady as possibly. I'm currently looking into stabilization rigs for DSLR's such as the Canon 7D and 5D mkII.

I already own the Steadicam Merlin which I purchased for the tropfest film I worked on, this piece of equipment is not appropriate for club environments.

High on the list is the Red Rock Micro Captain Stubling rig; in which has been developed in conjunction with Stu Maschwitz.
