Live on TV and in Person!
The person who goes by the name of Kristal Kira set up their 4K video system again this year, using only one camera this time instead of the two-camera setup at last year's Doo Dah Queen Tryouts. It was also placed in a different location, next to one of the tables for the judges, instead of up close to the stage and to the right of where I shot this. I suppose it was blocking the view of some of the contestants and American Legion members who enjoy the Queen Tryouts. I checked out Kira's YouTube channel, and while I didn't see the queen tryouts there I did see last year's parade. The camera was in lock-down mode and simply recorded the entire parade in real time, capturing all the acts as they passed by. I noticed also that Kira set the camera to run at 60p in 4K mode. The monitor here showed the same thing, shooting 4K at 60p, which makes it look more like live video than what I like to use on HD, which is 24p. That frame rate makes it look more like I am shooting film, close to Super-16mm film.
This is a frame capture from HD video using the Canon EOS Rebel T6 camera, with the Canon 18-55mm zoom lens. Once I get started editing this video I will include this shot, but you probably wouldn't be able to tell the video on the monitor is 60p, let alone 4K.
If you are interested, you can check out Kira's video of last year's Doo Dah Parade. I didn't see a link for the Queen Tryouts.

Anyway, you can see Mark, seated to the right on the monitor, playing a guitar instead of a steel guitar, part of the new "look" for the newly named New Astroturf String Band.
