Yes, the company i work for makes arrangements with the venues.. I'll also have an official press pass so I don't have to worry about ignorant bouncers/jeaolous boyfriends

If that's the case and the bouncers are cool with it, I don't see that as being too difficult. Just set up right after people have paid and are in the process of walking into the club. Make up some cheesy line that you are going to have to repeat at least 200 times and snap away. I'm sure you will get some people who refuse but most will probably be fine with it, especially if the bouncers are cool.

Also, I hope you have some decent equipment b/c that would be asking a lot from a cheap P&S.

You know, that's a brilliant idea! Get them before they're tanked and such.. My camera is a 4 megapixel Minolta F100.. I'll carry around my sturdy Nikon SLR 35mm as a back up but I'd hate to have to process and scan the pictures (but the thing is built like a tank)

I think film would be out for the amount of money that you are being paid. I find it strange that this company thinks people are going to pay for a quick snapshot (red-eye and all). They must be getting some decent money from the market research end, whatever that is.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that it's a dumb idea.. I think that they must be making some other revenue - either ad sales or by producing events or something... They have a show on the local NYC radio station and it's all about events/parties and clubs.. I think they're just trying to build a name right now and the pictures are only a small part of the revenue stream.

You are not going to get the red eye affect if use off camera flash....if your camera have a hotshoes, coldshoes, or X flash port.
