WETA ARTS - DEATH CLUB 7

As Director of Photography for this emerging band documentary, I used a dual-camera approach to capture their sold-out Pearl Street Warehouse performance. I positioned a locked-off Sony FX9 for consistent stage coverage while moving through the venue with a gimbal-mounted FX3, documenting everything from backstage moments to audience reactions. Shooting in log preserved detail under unpredictable stage lighting, while cinematic gimbal movements matched the band's grunge-soul-EDM energy. The coverage extended to impromptu nighttime interviews, balancing ambient light to maintain atmosphere while ensuring broadcast quality. The result captured the raw energy of DC's music scene for television.
