This is my first time shooting Touché Amoré and I wanted to make the best of it. I knew Jeremy roamed the stage a lot so my goal was to stay fixed on him and track his movement. After doing this, I would pull back my zoom to show perspective of the stage with the other four members. When Jeremy got active again, I focused on him and kept the movements there. It was work but it's actually my favorite shooting style! That's why I've always loved shooting mobile singers.

The speaker set up for the stage were two hanging arrays flanking the stage and small P.A. speakers behind the stage monitors facing the audience. I don't think the sound person used them because vocals for this video were faint compared to what I got from my Menzingers video, where they're loud and upfront. What vocals I was able to record were spill-over sounds from the hanging speaker array. Nothing I could do about it but to keep shooting. If you reference my Screaming Females video to this one, you'll see vocal volumes are similar.

To record this set, I used my iPhone in a SmallRig cage with velco straps which held a MagSafe charger to its back for continuous power. I used my larger Shure MV88+ that was attached to a side cold shoe mount, which also doubled as a camera grip. Without continuous charging, I'd be limited to recording two shows max. I've been able to shoot up to nine videos in a day with this setup (see my Fest shows)!

I'm fairly happy with this video's turnout and have accepted the vocal limitations. Seriously, what could I have done? LOL Anyhoo, hope you enjoy the recording...
