The brief
A cinematic cut of the live concert for YouTube, filmed while the conference went out live to IMAG, YouTube and cable TV.
How we shot it
| Lighting | The LED wall was an external hire. We worked closely with the Planetshakers lighting director on exposure across the wash, the stage lights and the LED intensity, so there was no banding or flicker on any camera. |
|---|---|
| Frame rate | Every Komodo-X, V-Raptor, Helium, Epic and Dragon shot 100fps. |
| On the night | Cameras rolled at the start of the night. Cards were then backed up to RAID and SSDs for the edit. |
| Edit and grade | Edited and graded in DaVinci Resolve on a 6K wide timeline, in the month after the event. |
