Sound Tribe Sector 9 played 2 nights at Red Rocks Amphitheater on September 7th & 8th. We assisted iClips in the production of the show, which was broadcast live on the iClips.net website and fed to the projection screen located at stage left. Look for an archive of these shows on the iClips website soon.

The camera setup was extensive with several lipstick cameras planted in key positions creating unique perspectives of the musicians. 5 JVC HD cameras were manned by a capable crew - one fixed high above the audience providing a wide, safe and establishing shot, a tripod mounted camera in front of the soundboard for close-ups and shots similar to the photo above, another tripod mounted camera located on stage left, a hand held camera in front of center stage, and a roaming camera on the outskirts of stage right and behind the band providing great shots of the crowd. Each cameraman was equiped with communications to the director who switched the show live for the audience and online viewers. Quite an experience!

Make sure to check out iClips for future shows and additions to their growing archive of live multi-cam video.

We will be assisting in the production & webcast of Yonder Mountain String Band with special guest Jon Fishman at Red Rocks. The show is Sunday September 2nd and starts at 7:00 p.m. with Rodrigo y Gabriela and Todd Snider as the opening acts. *click here to view our production of Todd Snider at Front Porch House Concerts

Stay tuned for a post show report detailing the logistics and technical aspects of this live concert webcast…

UPDATE

Saturday nights show went off without a hitch and a big congratulations goes out to the folks at iClips for managing the logistics and making it happen. If my memory is correct there were a total of 7 cameras coordinated and switched live - 1 stage right, 1 stage left, 1 front of house, 1 roaming on stage, 1 back of crowd / stage left, 1 lipstick cam mounted on the upright bass looking up, and one lipstick cam on the mandolin mic stand. The live switched feed was routed to the giant video screen off to the left of the stage so the audience could see the video too - very cool indeed!

Look for the show in the iClips archive soon and check out their upcoming shows…
