I am suppose to be talking about our process on how we prepare for the simulcast, but I had to take a right turn and prepare for another opera yesterday. I was blocking camera coverage for SF Opera's, Two Women" and then shooting and capturing it last night (Friday). The primary audience was directing it for the projection screens in the upper balcony and screens around the opera house for operas vision. I thought the crew and I did a pretty good job. Opera Vision lets the in house audience see the close ups and details of each performance. We use all 11 cameras and put as much time in our coverage and preparation as we do for simulcasts, DVD's and other productions that go live.
Below is a photo of what the it looks like from the balcony. If you want to see an opera for the first time, sitting in the upper balcony is a good introductory ticket. The sound/acoustics are spectacular up there and having the screens let's you see the closeups. The screens also have the supertitles too.
Tomorrow is our last opera vision and capture of Figaro in 16x9. Then we will have to see what shots stay in our shot sheets for 29 x 9 framing.
Any questions or suggestion so far. Let me know.
