Envision a one-person festival that spans the country's major regions, featuring three distinct stages all in one night, offering almost 12 consecutive hours of music. Now, imagine having the possibility to watch it from any corner of the planet, feeling as if you were there, in up to 8k resolution using the best technology available. Each camera cut has been thoughtfully crafted with the viewer in mind, ensuring a visual storytelling experience that seamlessly aligns with the exceptional emotional odyssey.
It's not just a solo performance; it's a one-man festival.
At the outset, the utmost consideration was given to the viewer's visual experience, with all decisions rooted in this aspect. The preparation didn't commence on the day of the event. It involved days of planning, technical site visits, and trials of special effects and lighting to ensure the optimal choice and positioning of cameras.
A unique methodology was developed, incorporating the best available technologies in the market according to each location. This encompassed the utilization of gimbals, conventional drones, FPVs, and the addition of a technocrane, along with various ambient microphones and external audio sources, to provide the most immersive experience.
Each recording featured two central cameras: one capturing the expansive 62-meter-long and 19-meter-high stage, showcasing its grandiosity, and another focused on the artist's booth. A gimbal, gracefully maneuvered on the stage, revealed the artist's perspective and interaction with the audience. A technocrane and a crowd gimbal were strategically positioned to transmit moments of euphoria, enthusiasm, and raised arms. Another camera was dedicated to capturing the most passionate reactions of fans, while a conventional drone with an open lens provided aerial shots akin to a helicopter's perspective, also capturing the breathtaking fireworks. A drone with a closed lens prioritized moments with grandeur and intricate parallax effects. Additionally, FPV drones were employed, prioritizing continuous takes to best showcase the festival's journey and overall experience. More cameras added an extra layer of creativity, allowing us to truly capture and highlight the distinctive essence of every location.
This thoughtful integration of advanced camera technology ensured that every angle, emotion, and spectacle were authentically captured, allowing the audience to relive the magic of each moment.
In 2023, we meticulously captured the essence of each event, creating a tapestry of moments that unfolded in a truly majestic manner. Remarkably, tickets for the last event were sold out days before the grand spectacle, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience.
Beyond the mesmerizing visuals and captivating performances, it became the artist most-viewed project of the year. Up to date, it reached over 15.3 million individuals across diverse platforms, accumulating a staggering total of more than 730,000 hours of watch time. The community engaged with the content passionately, contributing to over 6.5 million views.
The success of this project not only resonates in the numbers but in the fulfillment of the artist's dream, crafting an immersive experience that captivated millions.
