What can I use to film 2.5hrs of theatre?
Okay, I know this is awful of me, but… I've never done it before. There's a specific theatre event I *need* to film. It is a live production that is going to be aired in a movie theatre, so I will be trying to film it from there. I have no idea how many people will be in attendance, but… I *really* just want to figure out what I could use that I could just rest on my knee or something (covering up the screen, of course, as not to bother anyone else around) so that I could get at least a decent version of the production on film for posterity (since it's a limited production and there will otherwise be no video of it)!
ANYways… I'd actually typically be the kind of person to roll my eyes at this type of a post, but… I have my reasons.
I guess the question is: what can I use to film this, preferably short of buying a camcorder. I have an iPhone 4S, but from what I've seen online, it'd take about 25G to film 2.5hrs and my iphone is 16G total (of which, about half is available). I also have a Panasonic Lumix, but the max for each individual movie is about 8min (and I don't want to just keep watching it and hitting record every 8min).
Ugh. ANY assistance in this matter would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks.
Added (1). oh, and I also have a Nikon D3100… Wonder if that could work (if I get a larger SD card)? Only thing is that it'd be pretty bulky/obvious (though I'm hoping to sit in the last row of the theatre)
See if you know someone with a real video camera and tripod. A cell phone video is going to be a garbage quality and no one will want to watch it.

- Rugged/waterproof iPhone 5 case compatible with screen protector/back film protector? Was wondering if there's any iPhone 5 case out there that is compatible with a screen protector and/or a back film protector on the iPhone itself? I understand cases like Lifeproof need you to remove your screen protector so it can maintain it's waterproof abilities. Was just looking for a case that can work both ways.
