The event was recorded with four AMIRA and two ALEXA Mini cameras from ARRI. Why exactly this setup?
The local conditions at the Akademie der Kuenste in Berlin dictated that we had to put an OB truck in front of the door, at least that was the most comfortable solution. Then we looked for an OB truck with the appropriate equipment (ARRI cameras) on board. There are still not too many options on the market. That´s how we came across Ruptly. They had a really high-quality sprinter built by Qvest Media, with sound and communication technology from Riedel plus four ARRI AMIRAs with fiber optic connections. I wanted a hot head mounted above the stage and a mobile, remote-controlled small Blackcam system. Two small ALEXA Minis were mounted on it. That worked really well. The ALEXA Mini is perfect for the Blackcam system: compact, stable, reliable. And especially small—that’s why we build it with Blackcam. We put the rail on the stage. Behind the linear structure of harmonium, percussion, piano, the phonola—very unique and worth seeing! The pictures and rides were exactly as I had imagined. I liked the lighting design and it went well with the music.
