Indian Elvis Tribute Night Finally Here!

So i went i saw i captured! Gov was there with me! he will tell yaa :P so today was a day that i have waited a very long time for, why? because i am a fan of Elvis and i wanted to capture the tribute in action! so when we got there i set up the cameras for both filming and photography. There was a little problem as natural light was coming in through the big shop front window, which meant the lighting conditions inside kept changing so the settings had to be tweaked as the night progressed.

We were given a warm welcome by all the staff at the restaurant and felt welcomed into there domain. Everyone liked the fact that we were there to take probational quality pictures and video. Before all the customers came it was time for a quick spot of promotion and advertising Prophecy Media. I asked Mr Ali if I could put my Business cards on the tables. He was more than happy and also said to leave a bunch of them in there business card directory/bowl.

So the night progressed and Elvis entered the building! he looked the part i hope he sounds the part is what went through my head. He was a one man show, no crew members. So he started to bring all his sound equipment in and started to set up. One problem i had was that his lights where a little to dim for the JVC to be filming without any gain. Ideally i would have steered away from using any gain but o well shit happens and the gain was turned on.

As the night progressed Elvis had the crowed on their feet and also had me moving to the beat. I was able to capture just under an hour of video footage and over 800 pictures for the night. I made the effort to talk to the eating customers to try and promote my self and the company. Whilst I was there many customers asked if they could have professionally printed pictures. My reply to them was wait till they are on Facebook, then get in touch with your specifications and we will take it from there. I handed interested clients with business cards and they did look hopeful to do business with me.

Overall the night was a success, got a lot of praise from the customers the management and Elvis, have to say i am a little chuffed with the out come of this! i can get used to this ;) looks like i may have found a new way to feed the family :P

links to the pictures will be up soon!
