  • How to achieve a concert look?

    Posted by Advanced Spectrum on August 24, 2012 at 2:21 pm

    I have a concert project that I am working on. It was shot at 24fps 1080 HD. Looks good by itself but appears a bit dry like a movie. What is usually done to achieve a look like this:

    I like this look because it is different from the bleach by pass look, brings out the vibrancy of the lights and instruments on the set.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    [Advanced Spectrum] “What is usually done to achieve a look like this:”

    Step 1. Start with a theater built for TOTAL light control.
    Step 2. Wire it for theatrical lighting with mounting and power for hundreds of possible light sources.
    Step 3. Hire an actual lighting designer with years of experience.
    Step 4. Hire a production designer with years of experience.
    Step 5. Hire a video crew with top notch equipment and years of experience.
    Step 6. Hire a director and a camera op who knows how to direct and compose a nice shot.
    Step 7. Feed the signal to a recording rig that can preserve the quality of the images that the expensive cameras are producing.
    Step 8. Have someone on board who is well prepared to risk their funds in order to guarantee the bills gat paid for all of the above.

    That’s pretty much it.
