LIVE SESSIONS AND TOURS

Film the show. Release the sound.

Live sessions and tour films for musicians, labels and venues, from a single musician to a full band. I can bring in audio engineers and mic up every instrument, so the sound can be released as a live album alongside the videos.

WAYS TO WORK

From one song to a whole tour

SMALLEST
Mini sessions

One musician, one mic, one song at a time, with a short interview if you like. Simple and quick to plan; for a release, the sound goes to a professional audio engineer.

MOST SESSIONS
Live sessions

From 2 cameras up, with every instrument mic’d if you want it. You don’t need to know how many cameras ahead of time; we plan that together.

ON THE ROAD
Tour films

Following a band on tour, on my own or with a crew scaled to the trip, mainly across Europe and the US.

HOW IT WORKS

As collaborative as you would like

01
Plan

Who is playing, where, and what the release is for. We decide the setup together.

02
Record

I film the session and deliver the sound, with every instrument mic’d if you want it.

03
Choose the takes

We decide together which takes become videos.

04
Edit

I edit the video. You give me the song titles, and we review the camera angles together.

05
Colour

Colour grading, and the final exports for wherever the videos are going.

06
Release

Finished videos and sound. It is as collaborative as you would like it to be.

QUESTIONS

Before you send a brief

No. We work that out together when we plan. I film with as few as 2 cameras, or more when the room and the release need it.

Yes. I can bring in audio engineers and mic up every instrument, so the sound can be released as a live album alongside the videos.

Yes. Mini sessions are one musician, one mic, one song at a time.

It depends on the deliverables: what we are exporting for (a release, YouTube, social, a live album), how many songs, and the sound. Every session is quoted in tiers once we know.

As much as you like. We choose the takes together, you give me the titles, and we review the camera angles before colour.

Yes. I work mainly across Europe and the US, and worldwide when a tour needs it.
