UV, Lasers & Strobes

[Adam Howden]

Hi All,

I'm shooting a music video in a week that requires the use of Lasers, Storbes and UV lights. Just wondering if people might be able to chime in with any advice, warnings etc

Obviously there's the rolling shutter thing, there's the creamsource LED option. Any other thoughts would be great. I'll be shooting tests but would love some input from the red community.

The main lights in the club are as folllows:
1x Oracle T4 laser 4W (blue 1.2W, green 1.2W, red 1.6W)
2x Oracle T3 lasers 2W (green)
4x MAC 250 Washes
2x MAC 600 Washes
4 x 3K Strobes

Thanks a bunch!

Be careful shooting around lasers. A direct hit can ruin your sensor. I know someone that had this happen recently while shooting a live show.

This was going to be my advice as well... make sure if you're using lasers in motion that you have them programed to completely avoid the camera.. On hit of a laser through a lens and that sensor is done.
