Hi All @Danielr has kindly added Moving Heads to the XLAA sequence. I have placed the file download for the Moving Heads in the same location you will find the sequence.

You just need to select "Moving Head Sequence Only" in the drop down options on the link.

Big thanks to Daniel for sequencing the Moving Heads, they look great!

You just need a mobile phone, they are pretty darn good these days.
Force the manual exposure and focus options, sit it somewhere it can see the whole display and you're set.
Most videos you see online that people shoot of their lights is not done using anything professional or "decent" to use that phrase.

I ran the XLAA sequence on my display last night and it looks great! I'll be starting the recording of all my sequences in the next week or so and send a link when done

I only have a Google Pixel 3. It only has from above "Exposure: adjust brightness & shadows" There are no options for focus (That I can find).

Did go and look at a Pixel 7a last week, but haven't done anything yet as it pushes my plan upto $70 per month.

For those with an android based phone look for an app called "Open Camera". it adds a lot of additional functionality. I record everything on my Samsung s20 and was having a hard time. a couple people recommended it and it works very nicely.

You might be able to get a camera app that has more settings. I use one on my iphone.

Further to what @Dreamin said, I've used OpenCamera before on Android for some good results, gives you complete control.

Thanks. I've installed "open camera" and will have a play.
