Bubble Production has begun live iMAG production at The Amp, providing multi-camera coverage for the venue screens as Russell Howard takes to the stage.
The production is being directed by Andy Grierson, with Alistair Phillips operating the long-lens front-of-house camera. Supporting the main camera position are four PTZ robotic cameras, giving the director a range of additional angles while keeping the production footprint around the stage to a minimum.
Multi-Camera iMAG Screen Coverage
Our iMAG screen coverage is designed to bring audiences closer to the action, particularly in larger venues where some members of the audience may be further from the stage.
The long-lens front-of-house camera provides detailed close-ups of the performance, while the four PTZ cameras offer alternative angles, wider shots and additional coverage throughout the show.
All five camera sources are brought together as part of the live production, allowing the director to react instantly to what is happening on stage and deliver engaging pictures to the venue screens.
Live Production for Comedy and Entertainment
Filming live comedy requires a different approach from many other events. The production team needs to follow the performer closely, anticipate movement and react quickly to audience interaction, while ensuring that the iMAG production complements rather than distracts from the live performance.
Using a combination of a traditional long-lens camera and remotely operated PTZ cameras gives the production team flexibility without filling the stage or auditorium with unnecessary camera positions.
PTZ Cameras for Live Events
PTZ robotic cameras have become an important part of many of our live event productions. Their small footprint allows cameras to be positioned in locations where a conventional camera and operator would be impractical or intrusive.
Combined with experienced camera operators and live vision direction, they can provide additional angles while keeping the production discreet.
At The Amp, the four PTZ cameras complement Alistair’s long-lens front-of-house position, giving Andy a comprehensive range of shots to choose from throughout the performance.
