JamFest Pittsburgh
Here are a few pics form the JamFest Cheer/Dance competition last April. Our work flow for the events was:
Custom white balance.
Set ISO for about 1600 or 3200
Shutter was at 1/400th of a second, depending on where you were on the performance floor. Really bad light falloff along the edges, so we would sometimes drop the shutter speed to lower, but that would then produce blur...so it's a lose lose situation.
Everything was shot in JPG, medium or small....less than 2MB files was the goal.
After the 3 minute competition, we would pull the cards and put them into a card reader connected to a laptop. We would select the team name in the software then that program would download the images from the cards and put them up on an on-site server. I think the software also created low resolution images for display on the web pages that the parents/competitors would use to buy products.
Once the images were available (probably 3-10 minutes) they could be purchased in 8"x10" collages printed on Dye Sublimation printers at the event.
Viewing stations (35 laptops with the sales software and images/products to purchase)
Printer stations with technicians to create the products for sale.
From the crowds viewpoint. I was located on the floor, directly in front of the performance mat.
Award time and all the dancer and cheerleader from a particular session attending.
More from the awards session.
Ground level and up close with one of the cheer teams.
