All packages can be modified to work within your budget. As a fellow musician, I am very happy to offer these services to help you or your band promote your act. The service is based on filming one set (45 mins to 1 hour). If you would like to capture an additional set or sets, you must determine that at the start and pay that amount in full.
For example: cost to capture 2 sets using Package 1 is $1000
Each package includes editing a 3-5 minute finished 1080p video using the footage I captured. Adding in titles, lower-thirds and your logo (client supplied) is also included. Once filming is complete. you will receive the time-coded video to select the segments you want to use in your demo. I will then edit a rough cut for you to review and approve before processing the master. Any additional editing after the rough-cut phase will be charged at $75 per hour. You have the option to edit your demo yourself – I will supply all of the video files and my FCPX archive on a client supplied SSD. Editing and completion of rough-cut is estimated to be delivered in 5-10 days after receiving your selected segments (EDL).
Payment terms: Paid upon arrival – via cash, PayPal or Venmo.

Package 4: $950* (four cameras locked + 5th handheld)
This option uses 4 Canon Vixia HD cameras on stands – locked and position to capture the best angles on stage plus a 5th camera that will be handheld using a stabilizer for medium and close-up shots of the lead performers.

I can connect an audio feed from your mixer to the MEVO using an Alto Stealth wireless audio system – included (requires XLR output from your mixer). You will receive the switched program upon completion.
Package 7: $2500* 6 camera package
This option uses (4) GOPRO cameras in locked positions for the stage, (1) 4K camera for locked full stage shot + a 4K Cine camera handheld using a stabilizer for medium and close-up shots of the lead performers.
Package 8: $2000* 4 PTZ Robotic Cameras + Controller & Switcher
This camera package is the ultimate solution to capture great footage of the band – the cameras are robotic and controlled by one operator. Using the included controller, the operator can select any one of the 4 PTZ cameras to zoom in or out, pan left or right, or tilt up and down… full motion vs using locked shots. The cameras are mounted on speaker stands (shown above) and will be positioned to get the best angles. This solution is not a good fit for a club or venue that will not give me enough time to set this system up or prevent me from positioning the cameras in front of the band (away from audience to prevent being moved or damaged). I will need space near the stage for a tech table where I will operate the controller and switcher. Another benefit using the controller is creating “presets”. Presets are pre-configured “shots” that can be set and re-called simply using the numeric keypad. Here’s an example of a band using PTZ cameras for their live stream.

System Requirements: 2 hrs to set-up, space near stage for tech table, mounted cameras positioned in front of band without any restrictions by venue and safe from tampering. You will sign a waiver with a CC to fully replace any damaged equipment.
