Ray Smooth

Last month I was hired to shoot and film a comedy show for a comedian named Ray Smooth. He was giving a private show to family and friends. Before he took to the stage, two of his friends took center stage. One was also a comedian (she was quite funny), and the other was a poet. 

When Ray took center stage, his show went off without a hitch. During the show he had one heckler but he quickly went in on that person. Throughout the entire show he had everyone laughing the whole time. To see what was filmed just press play down below.

As this was my first time actual time filming and event there was one little hiccup that I came across. Since I was unable to do both, I brought my brother with me to give me a helping hand. Since he didn't know how to work the camera the first 15 minutes were extremely blown out. It was no way to fix the footage. That was a mistake on my part, I didn't take in account the brightness of the light and also believing the settings I had it on would adjust accordingly. I was wrong!!! I know now just to shoot in manual and take full control of all settings. 

Local Comedian Ray Smooth gave a private show for his family and friends in Detroit. For the first fifteen minutes my second shooter didn't let me know that it was too bright. So the beginning is a lil bad.
