The good news is that we are in the same location all day long, a nice large room. The bad news: It doubles as two time periods, with a massive relight half way through. Oh well, It's gonna look great...
The morning stuff couldn't have been easier. We used the existing overhead stage lights (PAR 38 strips) with just a bounce card from below. Easy, and it looks great. We set up the camera to be moving on a circular path around the talent. We only had wide angle track, so we used the doorway dolly and gaff taped off a 6' circle around each band member.
You can see the Gaffers tape marks on the floor.
In the opposite angle, you can see how large the hall is.
