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.

Main Stage

• Someone needs to contact the organisers well before the event to tell them we NEED POWER for cameras!!!! DONE! 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. Dependent on output and 4:3 / 16:9 decision
  • 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 --Malcolm.chambers 12:54, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
  • For discussion
  • Dependent on having at least one spare (we should do as we have PiP, and more tvs than we did last year.
  • I (Malcolm) would advise one 6" or ~14" for the two cameras at the front of the stage, the small, home-made, 12V testing monitor for the camera at the side.

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.
• Cams at back sides Two MS5s/MS4s at the front
• Probably the small panasonic or sony handheld camera viewing drummer
• not many crew, so focus on main stage
• Take event sound via URY (organised, mono, balanced, hopefully remixed by URY)
• Use to cut between act on main stage Aim to have separate broadcasts: Main and indoor.
  • can only easily interchange between them if both are 4:3
• Tom Trolley Rig (in the control room or possibly V122 to isolate the two control rooms)

Roomspace

• Woodstock have 'pretty much booked out all of Vanburgh's upstairs' for us & URY (from friday onwards)
  • We'll certainly have V120 (main room overlooking the walkway with roof
  • V139 for large sony camera, serves as wide shot of main stage
  • V122 useful for access to JCR roof for URY audio run, maybe editing, windows are useful for many video leads
  • V113 (access to, not necessarily use of) hopefully just for a cable run for the broadcast monitors in some of Vanbrugh
• URY are in the SCR, they're possibly also V119

URY

• Mono balanced from indoor stage
• Stereo balanced (pre-presenters) from main stage
• Aren't allowed to use their broadcast due to licencing, music copyright etc.
• Run them a video feed to the SCR - probably also give them the tv to display it on if we've got any spare

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!
• All Vt's to be used must be put into a 16:9 project, with black bars down sides
  • This means they get squished, and unsquished, rather than just unsquished (stretchy stretchy)
  • Thus maintaining a respectable aspect ratio...

Streamage

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

Presenting and stuff

• head of organisation - Viv.C
  • some notes about bands
• Gaps:
  • Main stage - 5-20 mins
  • Indoor stage - sporadic!
• Base at balcony
• link between sets & Vt's of sets
• possibly band interviews if can catch any

Comms

• give to presenters not cam Ops - cam ops can be clever
• Clever signalling solution needed.

Gazebo

• Stick on balcony - for rains
• Backup = go inside.

Top n' tailing

• Use spare Edit OC

Happy crew equipment

• Denton Boom - Balmer
• O.B. Party box - communal noms

YUSU Plasma's

• Cullen to talk to yusu IT GUYS. be very very persuassive.
• Chislett talk projectors YSL.
