Since more and more videos are appearing on both youtube and here, I would like to ask you all "filmers" how can you get your video gear to the venue ? And of course do the security guys have the right to take it ? |

same in glasgow. |

It was the same in Glasgow. I walked in with a stills camera in a sizeable camera bag. The bag I had was big enough to have my Sony HC7 HD camera fit in it! If only I'd know how lax they were, I would've maybe chanced it! But anyway, most people can get videos easily on phones and cameras that actually look and sound decent. Too hard and ridiculous to stop everyone from coming in with their phones and digital cameras. The sign up at Glasgow said something like, No PRO digital cameras (35mm) or video/audio recording equipment. Or something to that effect. I walked in with my DSLR in a blatantly obvious bag and an audio recorder in my pocket. Adam. |

I still don't know - to film or not to film, that's the question [img=/images/smiley/msn/confused_smile.gif][/img] The main reason is that I'm a coward [img=/images/smiley/msn/wink_smile.gif][/img] |

I couldnt agree more with this to be honest...... link |

Pittrek. If your camera is small, buy a thin material bumbag and stick it down your front. If you are lucky, people will just think you've got a big one! Depends if you've much room down there :) |

In Hamburg there were lots of signs "no cameras, no video, no recording etc." and everybody was searched very thoroughly, it held up the entrance very much. It was almost like at the airport, they even searched my ankles if I had something in my shoes! The ladies were searched by women. Some people still got their digital cameras in, because they didn't dare to search ladies' handbags (at least not in my queue)! How silly! After all I'm not surprised, that no Hamburg recording has turned up yet. It's a shame, because it was a great show. |
| gnomo 22.10.2008 08:06 |
... well, it would only be normal for a lady, especially if she's been travelling a long way to the venue, to carry a small-ish pouch in her bag, containing an assortment of items related to private hygiene: I somewhat doubt that even the strictest security at the gates would be too willing to fumble in there, should a tiny camera be hiding under the stuff... |
| Raf 23.10.2008 03:50 |
Maybe the "airport-like" check was mostly to prevent people from carrying weapons into the venue...? |
| Mr. Scully 23.10.2008 04:13 |
At EVERY venue (and I really mean every) it is possible to get in with a camcorder, photo camera and/or minidisc or WAV recorder. Sometimes it's very easy, sometimes it's a bit difficult but success is almost guaranteed. |

Sometimes it's very easy, sometimes it's a bit difficult but success is almost guaranteed. one thing is getting the equipment inside the venue - to record it (with a camcorder!) is a completely different stuff and its by far more complicated. Security guys are always looking for camcorders during the show, and nowadays even members of the audience call the security to report camcorders...( yes some of you Hannover people - idiots! ) It really depends on which country - Prague and Budapest are both really tough venues, Prague with xray machines and Budapest with idiot security who does not even allow people taking pictures from sitting places. Near impossible to video anything... |
| Mr. Scully 23.10.2008 14:31 |
The Hannover incident was funny :-) Everybody was like "be warned, people in north Germany are weird, they may call the security if they see you recording the show" and we were laughing... and then it happened :-) Prague and Budapest are really tough - but still possible. Btw. in Budapest 2005 they didn't allow even taking photos but I thought that was because of the DoRo team there? Or is the security really so strict that you can't even take a photo with a small amateur digital camera? |

Does anybody know the conditions in Wiener Stadthalle ? Not that I'd plan to record something, I'm just asking [img=/images/smiley/msn/tounge_smile.gif][/img] |
| Jjeroen 23.10.2008 15:21 |
^ Indeed getting the gear inside is the least of a filmer's problems. Holding on to it during (and after!) the show, that's the trick! |
| YourValentine 23.10.2008 18:41 |
xray machines???? no idea about Vienna security but in 2005 the concert was filmed by at least two teams . |
| Nummer2 24.10.2008 03:08 |
I have been to many concerts in the last 30 years, and I don't remember anything similar to the strict controls at the Color Line Arena in Hamburg. It's the first time I have been there, so maybe it depends on the venue. But I have the impression, it has to do with some vague recent terrorist activities warnings in Germany. Till earlier this year the door staff only searched for bottles or obviously professional gear. It wouldn't have been hard at all to carry a small camcorder or edirol into the venues. But if you had a small bottle of water – oh my god! |
