have you ever tried filming a candid event? Your pointers are right in the essencials, but that's easy to say and fairly easy to do if you are filming at a small fountain. But if you are filming an event such as for instance Akuna's pool and lake parties, where you have sometimes about 20 girls in lets say 7 groups getting wet at the same time. Some are going in to the water, some are dancing in it, some are wearing jeans, others clothes, you also see some getting ready by the pool/lake etc.You really don't know where to look, not mentioning what to film. People have different tastes, may like younger or older girls, skirts or dresses, skinny or fatter etc and the filmer really has quite a job doing it according to his own and everybody elses tastes. I really think that everybody should try going to at least one event like this. You have to try it to understand it. You will end up filming in a very chaotic way, beacuse no wetlook enthusiast will be able to concentrate on a girls going int othe water (which may last quite long) ignoring completly two or three others at the time. And also I don't think many customers would like that.

I am a real enthusiast of candid party wetlook, which probobly does have some of the flaws mister E told us about. I have ordered most of Akuna's pool and lake party DVDs from the Wamstore and think they are the best wetlook products offered (you can disagree, that's just my taste) and I have wrote this answer comparing mr. E's post to them, as I have not much other experience with candid video.

To the candid filmers

I appreciate the work of the candid filmers very much. And I don’t want to complain. But there are some things which could be improved IMHO.

1. Zoom: I think that some filmers overtax their zoom funktion. I film aswell, but I never use the zoom more than at most 2 times a scene. It might be fun to play with the zoom but it just sucks and the camera always runs out of focus.

2. Panning: If there’s a good scene, keep on filming and don’t pan around if something happens in the back ground, as long the back ground scene is not worth it. I prefere 1 attractive girl to 100 big, old mamas.

3. Focus: I can understand that filmers don’t want to watch the entire the scene through their view-finder. But if you take the camera away, you sould take care to keep direction. As nobody wants to see the sand, the water or the sky. I saw scenes in which the girls get outside the frame for 90 percent of the scene.

4. Missing the best moments: You see two girls at the pool. Suddenly they tie up their hair, put away their cell-phones, but away their cigarettes, head for the pool and the filmer stops filming or pans away. Oh no! Right in that moment! Or they are already in the water, you have no idea what they are wearing, but when they come out you will know. Then they come out and the filmer pans away.

I suppose the viewing pleasure would be much better, if there was less zooming-in and -out (it really sucks), more continuity of the scenes, a steadier camerawork and more patience and more care for what is unimportant and what should be captured.
