The very first show that we recorded in our OB Van after we installed our Camplex camera chains was a performance by Fiona Pears and her band at the Harbourlight Restaurant in Lyttleton, New Zealand In those days our cameras were only 4:3 with no CCU control and the 3 camera composite mix was recorded to DVCam tape The lighting was only the Harbourlights Par 38s The audio was multi-tracked and a 4th camera recorded the show in 16:9 from the sound desk. The tape was given to Fiona's producer Ian Tilley, who took the tapes back to the UK, re-rendered our footage into 16:9, cut it with the footage from the 4th locked of camera and mixed down the 24 track audio The footage was released as part of Fiona's first DVD, "Fiona Pears in Concert" It can be purchased from www.fionapears.com/shop |

Our second DVD for Fiona was a much more ambitious project The Venue was Christchurch Cathedral and part of the profits from the concert were going to the Cathedral and Fiona's charity Cholmondeley Children's Home On Sunday we packed in after the 10am Morning Service to be ready for a 2pm sound check Bob Bickerton of Bob Bickerton Celtic Music provided all the sound gear and made a 24 track recording of the performance All cameras were Iso recorded in camera and a guide multi camera mix was recorded in the OB Van Again all the footage was given to Ian, Fiona's Producer, who took them back to the UK, recut the footage and remixed the audio |
