The Doves @ Green Man Festival
Following on from the success in Edinburgh, The Doves asked Basic Monkey to provide a Catalyst media server for their show at The Green Man Festival in South Wales.
Arriving on site to find 'video world' in a pop-up tent by stage was a humorous start to the day although a little nerve racking when the rains hit hard! The character of the festival is impossible to fault, through heavy rain the guests were still out in force, from all walks of life and parts of the UK.
We were asked to feed the main stage's side screens with the show content, intermixed with camera shots using the festivals cameras and vision mixer. The show went without a hitch and had a great reaction from the crowd.
The Doves @ The Edinburgh Picture House
Tonight saw James in Edinburgh at very late notice to provide the Doves with our Catalyst media server for their show.
Mark Wynne-Edwards is the Doves lighting designer, using his own Jands Vista T2 console which works easily with Catalyst.
Once the content was uploaded to our server, it was simply a case of testing a few cues in Mark's pre programmed show and all was ready. The output was a Sanyo 10k projector onto a white drape behind the band. This allowed images to cast over the band members and kit.
