Pitchfork Live
This live series started when we wanted to cover some of the best live music in the independent scene. We knew that Pitchfork had more access to these great shows and we wanted to stream fantastic performances live to audiences all over. Making this show work with such a small team was a great undertaking, but we were able to put on successful stream after stream of great performances to our audience.
For this piece, I pitched the idea along with director Michael Garber, got in contact with Drippy Eye for the projections, rented as well as picked up gear, lit the set, setup camera, technical directed the live stream, then helped Michael with the re-edit for the final published piece on all of Pitchfork’s channels.
For this piece, I finalized our rental package gear, lit the stage for camera, setup our multi-cameras for the live stream, shot stage right camera, technical directed the live stream, then edited song cut downs to be shared on all of Pitchfork’s channels.
This concert was a special one to cover. Not only did we cover one of my favorite bands performing at the gorgeous Kings Theatre, but we got to work closely with the band and the lighting manager on how to best capture this performance, making this one of the most collaborative live shoots we’ve done. For this piece, I rented gear, setup camera, ran a Sony FS5 on a crane, technical directed, and did cut down edits of the performance to be shared on all of Pitchfork’s channels.
This was a different approach for our live shows. In addition to covering the performance, we decided we wanted to create shapes around the performer using smoke machines and projection visuals created by Anthony Esquivel. For this piece, I researched how to best get these visuals to show up in a live stream, rented gear, setup camera, ran a Sony FS5 on a crane, technical directed, and did cut down edits of the performance to be shared on all of Pitchfork’s channels.
