«Big stage» props
Technical and design solutions of Euromedia Company creative team made the "Big Stage" show a memorable feast for both contestants and spectators.
We shouldn`t forget thatit was decided to add the entourage of a comic show to make the studio where the program was filmed more entertaining character.Arch with incandescent electric lamps, a round stage arena, screens of heavy fabric were chosen as needed elements.The basic concept was to combine the "circus" of free and open arena with technological solutions of the screens lit farms.
It should be noted that two symmetricalexits for artists and increased stage allowed simplifying and diversifying staging rooms. The studio was the place for a special screen with the broadcast of the competition results.
A show’s sound concept was to record a very high quality sound path, as well as provide high-quality recording of the music, the jury and microphones. The team of sound engineers coped with a lotof personal monitoring and various mixes (main, musical, monitor for artists, monitor for translators, service for employees in the TV hardware, etc.).
A lightning complex was laid out in such a way that using dynamic and static light all the details of the mood of a particular artist could be shown, to portray a performance in the most favorable light.
About 300 instruments were used to create a dynamic light on the "Big Stage" show. A work on lighting maintenance passed smoothly according to the highest European standards. A large number of specialists and software systems were involved in programming and planning of the show to ensure a smooth operation during the entire process.
An important factor of the creation of high-quality images was the preparation of camera equipment. A production scheme has been developed and assembled the outside broadcasting of 10 cameras to meet the objectives of director and producer team. 10 studio cameras were used for shooting in the studio, 8 of which were mounted on a tripod, allowing raising the camera without additional constructions providing smooth operation and no "jitter". There were two cameras installed, one camera was mounted on a Steadicam and the other was installed on the operator and telescopic crane with a maximum of 9 m boom crane used for effective flown over the audience and the stage. All the cameras were connected to the hardware complex camera channels Sony, which fully ensured cameras control remotely. An audio and video monitoring and playback were provided for directing teams. A cameras location in the studio was consistent with the maximum coverage of all major aspects of the show. The right position of cameras and sufficient light filling of the shooting area allowed fully realizing the potential of the visual concept of the project.
Thus, all of the technical components of creating the show - light, sound, props, video, VJing, etc. - allowed in the best way realizing the idea of Euromedia Company directing groups to create a second season of talent show "Big Stage".
