# Filming a gig with no one to film you

By Con, founder of Music Wide Selfie · Updated 22 October 2026

**Short answer**Ask the venue first, set the phone on a clamp behind the booth before doors open, check storage and battery, start recording before your set, and check the take saved before you pack up.

* Clear 20+ GB; a one-hour 4K video is huge.
* Plug the phone into power if you can.
* Set the screen to dim but keep the recording running.
* Check the file plays with sound before you leave. Music Wide Selfie's Take Check confirms the take saved and has sound.
