One thing I think you should have mentioned is that each "lamp" as you called them (moving head) costs as much as an FS5. So you better be careful. Lightning equipment is not cheap.
Great tips! I work in events production and would suggest to speak directly to the event producer and stage manager about the requests in lighting, not just to the operator, because sometimes they might think "who's this guy to give me orders?" or "I was given instructions and not changing them", so, better to have a word with the production in charge. Also, get audio directly from the mixer.
This is a great video, covering a lot of practical information. I've covered a few fests on my own now but I'm really eager to step up with a crew. What advice would you give to somebody looking for those opportunities, because I'm not finding them through the events I'm currently covering.... Thanks in advance.
Always always speak to the stage manager. Make your face known to them. Think 10 - 15 artists a day. 5 members of each band. Trickstie juggling right there. Make their life nicer 😉
Avoiding lasers being pointed directly in to your sensor is something that can only be avoided by preparing for the event. If you are hired to film a concert make sure to go to a rehearsal to see if they will be using any lasers and if they are to find a good position to film where one will not be directly pointed in to your lens. Preparation would be the key in this case. Thanks! -Joey P
Consider the Source is such a solid band. These are some quality festivals being covered here!

how many are you in your team when shooting music festivals?
lmao, was going to say, paris is about the best place to do it
It will always vary by the size and length of the festival and the amount of access you are provided. *Andrea
very nice
shoot everything in slow motion
what to do if there are lasers? I want to avoid sensor to get error lines and bills of 1000$+.

Thank you for pointing this out, the title has been changed.
