Personally, if more that one fountain were within walking distance, I would move on and try to concentrate on those which have fully clothes women involved getting wet. Flashmobs are fine if that's the only venue in the area. Crowds can be confusing unless you know what you want to film. I prefer venues such as beaches or fountains (Trafalgar was a great one for this) where you don't see the same people hour after hour.
MK QUOTE: "Another thing to bear in mind is.....if you have ever been to very large events where there are hundreds of people all getting wet at the same time....you will know how difficult it is to film loads of people.....cos it is like filming an ants nest.....too many people and hard to capture anything well...and it is much better (imho) to film 3-4 girls properly....than to attempt to film 100 people running all over the place."
A great example of this were the "turning on the fountains" events in Albany N.Y. during the spring month were college students would congregate in the fountain awaiting the countdown. A majority of jeans but too much eye candy for one set of eyes, but in an event like this, I would walk around and be more selective and concentrate on subjects of interests. Since mine are wet white jeans, I would probably rove around and concentrate filming these as part of the mix of everything else. I suppose it all depends on the person filming if he wants to be stationery and shoot anything that walks in front of him or become a rover and film as many people as possible. It's a toss up! |

By wetleeming - Wed 20/07/11 15:30:41 GMT I am normally just in favour of wetlook in general but in the case of these flashmobs I feel that quality has to come before quantity! I much prefer to see a few fully clothed girls/women wearing skirts and blouses or jeans and tops maybe with a coat as well but getting their clothes wet in any way they can be it walking into a river or pond or falling into a pool...I do not enjoy the multi person shots as only a fleeting glance can be taken. So I have to vote against the flashmob shoots.

By MK - wamtec@comcast.net Wed 20/07/11 14:46:35 GMT It would be interesting to have some survey feedback on how highly the wetlook fans rate these flashmob events in Moscow in terms of wetlook content.....cos this could help us collect more of the kinds of footage on video that you like to see.
FYI my camera guys stationed in Moscow are busy filming stuff every week at the fountains, and they often come upon these flashmob events at the various fountains in Moscow (especially the fountain that has the gold statues)...and they have sent me video footage of some of these events, and they all told me the same thing that I saw in the footage....i.e. that the footage was not that interesting cos 80% of the girls at these events are merely wearing t shirts and shorts and very few girls are wearing "full clothings" (i.e. full length jeans) or nice clothings (i.e. dresses and skirts)....so they told me that they gave up filming those events and moved onto other fountains in the area where the scenes were much more interesting. Having seen their footage of these flashmob events, I agreed with their decision to practice "triage"....i.e. when you have over a dozen different fountains in Moscow with wetlook happening on a hot sunny day...and you only have 1 or 2 cameramen there...you can't be covering all the fountains. So, you tend to prioritize and practice "triage"...and if you see less interesting stuff at one fountain, you move onto the next fountain where you can find a lot more interesting full clothing wetlook scenes happening.
Maybe I and my camera guys are wrong.....and if the majority of wetlook fans prefer to see these flashmob events, which are mostly t shirts and shorts scenes, then we got it wrong, and we should have stayed there longer and carried on filming, but trust me,....it is very hard to resist the urge to move onto the next fountain, when you can find much better full clothing wetlook scenes happening 5 minutes away at the next fountain.
So perhaps I am wrong in my assessment. I am curious to get some feedback....so my question is.....if you were at one of these events and filming it....knowing that there are a dozen other fountains within walking distance that have girls wearing much more "full clothings" and not t shirts and shorts....what would you do.....film the flash mob event or move to the next fountain to film the girls wearing full lenght jeans etc.
Another thing to bear in mind is.....if you have ever been to very large events where there are hundreds of people all getting wet at the same time....you will know how difficult it is to film loads of people.....cos it is like filming an ants nest.....too many people and hard to capture anything well...and it is much better (imho) to film 3-4 girls properly....than to attempt to film 100 people running all over the place.
Anyway....if you want us to film these flash mob events....our camera guys can do it....but I am pretty sure you end up with a lot of mediocre footage....and we can get much better footage at the next fountain down the street.
The same rule applies to pie fights too....i.e. "anarchy" and "chaos" at events with too many people.... is a very hard thing to capture on video. You are better off filming less people at less crowded and less anarchic events.
