Concert films and lots of edits
By S Simmons. Filed in Editing, from the net, Internet resources, pop culture |
If you go to the movies regularly you’ve probably seen promos for those concert special events that are broadcast to select theaters for “one night only.” I recently worked on a multicam concert for Toby Mac and his new Alive and Transported concert gets the big screen treatment on Monday, June 9. You many remember Toby from his song “Gone”, it was one of the early HD videos featured in Apple’s Quicktime HD galleries. If you want to see a fun, high energy concert on the big screen then this is a great one to see. It was originally shot on Panasonic Varicam and has been uprezed to 2K for the digital projection. I was amazed at how well the image held up. Unlike a lot of multicam concerts that take a live switch as the base of the edit, this show was completely cut from scratch by myself and my friends at Broken Poet Productions. You can really dig into the material and find the best stuff. The music and the stage show are both very high energy and the edit supports it. The final CD/DVD version of the show is just over an hour and 15 minutes … and has 3278 edits.
