01 — The brief

The brief

Dan Balan needed a production that could hold a large-scale concert — not a highlights clip, but a complete record of the night, from the first audience in to the final note. The footage had to arrive at a local TV channel ready for post-production and broadcast on their music network.

That meant five unbroken hours of multi-camera coverage, a camera fleet that could move with the energy of the show, and a clean, usable handover at the end of the night.

02 — What we did

How we approached it

01
Camera plan
We built a five-position setup: a wide shot for the full stage picture, a close-up position for artist coverage, a gimbal for fluid movement through the crowd and stage, a drone for aerial perspective, and action cameras for angles the larger rigs could not reach.
02
Five-hour continuous capture
Coverage ran from 19:00 to 00:00 — doors to close. Every set, every transition, every moment between.
03
Broadcast delivery
Footage was assembled and handed to the local TV channel in a condition ready for their edit and broadcast pipeline — no back-and-forth, no missing material.

04 — The outcome

What happened next

The edited concert broadcast aired on the channel's music network and stayed on air throughout the summer — a sign that the footage held up well beyond the original broadcast slot.

For a production captured in a single night across five camera positions, that run time is the real measure of what was delivered.
