OB:Woodstock 2010

Woodstock 2010 will be in Vanbrugh as usual. Currently the suggestion is to to focus all our efforts on the main stage, with maybe a wide shot or something on the indoor stage. Hey people, please use the discussion page for discussing things, asking questions, presenting ideas, and those odd WTF moments. Only permenent stuff here

Main Stage

• We have up to ~3.5A at the main stage

• 2 HD's
  • as roaming
• 1 HD as dollycam
  • only if space between crowd barrier & tent is adequate.
  • haggle if necessary, but woodstock will be packed, and they shall be of higher importance to us - our job is to make the pictures a success, given available space.
• 1 Howard. aspect ratio problems still in progress
  • suspended from rig
  • bring cable ties, lots of cable ties
• Miranda (sky)
  • as wide
  • on balcony per usual In V139, pointing out of the window.
  • Cable run could be out of the V120 window, over the balcony, in V139 window - avoids going out of the door, needing haz tape etc.)
• canon on balcony?
  • eg for presenters, and jugglesoc etc near the lake in the Langwith direction if they're there again, and rear shot of audience - tree in full bloom obscures the stage
  • may need to bring OB lighting rig for presenters.
• power from event
  • bring the 16a > 13a's distro board
• projector
  • find out where the projector(s) is, and possibly where the screen is from RAG
  • just feed it composite
• Preview TVs
  • see discussion page

Indoor Stage

• A wide shot
  • Probably with the small sony or panasonic handheld camera
  • Dependent on the 4:3/16:9 Howard decission, Hoaward may serve as the wide shot.
• MS5's bnc'ed to passive cat5 run to control room.
  • see discussion page
• small panasonic or sony handheld camera viewing drummer?
  • see discussion page
• Take event sound via URY (mono, balanced, hopefully remixed)
• Feed sent to main for possible use if wanted to fill space.
  • see discussion page
• Tom Trolley mixed
  • see discussion page for location talks

Roomspace

• Woodstock have 'pretty much booked out all of Vanburgh's upstairs' for us & URY (from friday onwards)
  • V120 (overlooking the walkway with roof)
  • V139 for main stage wide shot
  • V122 useful for roof access for URY audio, & editing, & video leads
  • V113 Vanbrugh broadcast monitors cables
  • V119 URY (verification needed)
  • SCR URY

URY

• Mono balanced from indoor stage
• Stereo balanced (pre-presenters) from main stage
• Aren't allowed to use their full broadcast due to licencing, music copyright etc.
• give video feed to the SCR
• may also need a spare TV

Commercial stuff

• Needs to happen
• let people know its happening
• DVD's?

VT's

• Back archive of stuff to play if there's a pause - e.g. "now lets watch 2007"
• On a per song basis, with some full sets - no-one can tell for definate how long a changeover will be!
• knock on effect of aspect ratio kerfuffle
  • VT's to be put into a 16:9 project, with black bars down sides
    • This means they get squished (in editing), and unsquished (in broadcast), rather than just unsquished (stretched) in broadcast
    • Thus maintaining a respectable aspect ratio, and displaying all of the image...

Streamage

• Both stages
  • Use new strm0
  • Use an Edit PC

Presenting and stuff

• head of organisation - Vivien Chung
  • some notes about bands
• Gaps:
  • Main stage - 5-20 mins
  • Indoor stage - sporadic delays
    • knock on of aspect ratio stuff again
• Base at balcony
• link between sets & Vt's of sets
• possibly band interviews if can catch any
  • recorded to tape, on a canon dv, then VERY fast edit to VT.

Comms

• give to presenters for balcony, not their cam ops
  • see discussion page
• stage cam ops will primarily be listen only (reserve talking sets for presenters, directors, other important people)
• Clever signalling solution needed. Waving/funny faces out of the V120 window for presenters/camera ops on the balcony.

Fast edits

• Use spare Edit PC
• Also for interviews that may/may not happen.

Denton Boom

• • see discussion page

O.B. Party box

• for morale really
• be nice, this is a light-hearted attempt at cooling down tired techies.
• there is no telling how it might work, it could be ok, it could be abosolutely useless.

YUSU Plasma's

• Cullen to talk to yusu IT GUYS. be very very persuassive. :)
• Chislett talk projectors YSL.
  • YUSU/ents/Jss/Tss deal means this is sadly a no-no.
