The "DJ Earwaxxx" Documentary

This picture was taken from the making of the documentary "DJ Earwaxxx" at the "House of Waxxx." Charleston Perez aka DJ Earwaxxx is a Las Vegas DJ, originally from Southern California. He has been a DJ for over twenty years and came to Las Vegas about seven years ago to fulfill his dreams to become an elite DJ in Las Vegas. This documentary interviews DJ Earwaxxx, as well as many of his other DJ friends, and they discuss the struggles and successes in his journey in becoming one of Las Vegas' most talented DJs.

The "DJ Earwaxxx" documentary is a long-term shoot because I am trying to show the story from a lot of b-roll footage throughout a period of time, maybe 2-3 years. Specifically in this shot of him showcasing a performance, I am using a Panasonic Lumix GH4 4K camera on a glide-cam, as well as a Canon T4i on a tripod and slide. There are three LED panel lights, and for sound I am using a Rode NTG-2 shotgun microphone on a boom pole. The set design was excellent, perfect for the scene I was trying to shoot and the lighting was also great, allowing me to set a low ISO for no noise. The only difficult part of the shoot was being able to move around a lot with the glide-cam because there just was not a lot of room to get the angles and shots I hoped for. However, overall it came out nicely!
