Hey
I'm working on a film that takes place at night during a thunderstorm, so naturally there isn't a lot of light. Unfortunately, my camera (the QC9000) picks up a lot of grain without decent lighting, and it looks horrendous. Are there any ways of animating in low light without sacrificing quality? I've tried adjusting the exposure but I still can't get what I'm looking for.
Use a high Contrast, it helps. 
Film it brightly-lit and then digitally darken it a bunch. (day-to-night kind of thing.) It takes some practice to get it to look right, but it can come out fairly well if done correctly.
MSD, haven't seen you in a while man!
You could just create low light in Post-Production. Or maybe put more lamps, but turn your exposure really low
