Concert Video for Williams Student Symphony: Saluting the Sea. In this concert, we brought a crew of five, with a four-camera set-up to film the event. Three of the cameras covered various angles of close-ups of the performers and the audience, and the last camera was mounted on a 12-ft tall ProAm Crane, which provided a sweeping, grandiose, panoramic shot of the entire concert hall.

We own an 8-ft ProAm camera crane. If you would like to check it out, contact Danny Y. Huang at yh1 [at] williams [dot] edu. Here is a short film that I made entirely using this crane.
“Saluting the Sea”
We are producing a music video for the Williams Student Symphony this Sunday (May 3), from 1:30 – 4 PM.
This project defies conventional one-camera-taping-the-concert style. It tells a story, both on-stage and off-stage, with a touch of personality and intimacy by focusing on the human details. The project involves a four-camera set-up, with one camera on a 8-ft crane, one doing a long shot and two others, hand-held, picking up detailed actions from various musicians. We may do a short, improvised interview with some of the musicians.
The production time is from 1:30 – 4 PM this coming Sunday, May 3. We’re setting up and planning all the shots from 1:30 – 3 PM. The concert goes from 3 – 4 PM. If you have time, you can stay back for 15 minutes and help out with cleaning up.
Contact Danny Y. Huang at yh1 [at] williams [dot] edu if you’re interested in this project. You’ll not be paid, but you’ll be rewarded with a thrilling (and stressful) live, large-scale production experience.

WANTED: Students for live sport webcasts
We are working with Sports Information to provide live webcasts for athletic events in Williams. This student-run service is considered as a campus job and you’ll be paid by Sports Information.

Four to five people may be needed for one production, and they are rotated during half-time. Don’t worry if you know nothing about video cameras or video switchboards — we’ll provide the training.
Interested students should email Danny Y. Huang at yh1 [at] williams [dot] edu. Please include your name, class year, and phone number.
