Not often you get the pleasure to film with amazing actors. In this occasion, we were witness of an amazing show! Adrian Lester and Danny Sapani, two big names at the Almeida Theater. The live-stream was produced by Studio North South and I enjoyed every minute of this work. It’s been challenging but rewarding on a high level. Our crew of 4 camera ops did 2 days of rehearsal before filming for the preview show, then we had 4 days of live-streaming, delivering the same quality and same shots, day after day.
We filmed with 4 Sony FX9 rigged for studio setup, using Zeiss 70-200 lenses for the side views, Angenieux Zoom for the steadicam and a Fujinon Premista 28-100 for the centre camera. Thanks to an amazing job Matt Hargraves and colleague William Knights did ahead of the show, we had a pretty smooth week.
