Sunday Production & Technology
Cameras – We use 3 Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6k Pros with Sigma lenses. One is a tight shot, one is wide, and the other is our mobile stage camera.
Backdrop – Our white backdrop is acoustic paneling covered in seamless, white fabric. The lighting on the floor is a fixture designed to wash walls with light.
Drum Shield — We built our drum shield with plexiglass panels, brackets, and a generic stage riser. We found a local supplier and bought a few 4’ wide plexiglass panels that are 1/2” thick. We engineered brackets to attach the panels to the stage and to attach the panels to each other.
We made our own 4’ x 8’ acoustic panels that rest on the top of the plexi. But you can use the classic clear sonic lid pack or any combination of poles/unistrut and 2” thick acoustic panels.
There is a company called Octane AVL that builds and sells custom shields similar to ours, but building our own was much more cost effective.
