In July 2024, I was asked to help supervise the video production of the Sam Smith show production managed by Wob Roberts and directed by Mark Cruikshank at the Solidays music festival in Paris and Lido Sounds music festival in Linz. Throughout the setup and show days, I was responsible for making sure the cameras are placed in the correct place, the camera operators have appropriate wristbands for stage or pit access, the graphics laptop was correctly set up and visible as a source on the vision mixer, the timecode cable has been run as well as plugged into the correct port on the rack and monitored for any issues throughout the show from them side of the stage. This experience taught me how useful a simple show setup is for a festival run and tested my video knowledge skills. After my initial run of shows, I visited the crew during the Open’er Festival show as I was attending the event as a normal concert goer.
