SEUSSICAL THE MUSICAL - Stockport Plaza Theatre - December 2008

Alice writes: "The Plaza OB shoot was a huge experience for me and the team, this was my first multi-cam outside obradcast (OB). We were to cut live cameras for the Plaza Youth Suessical the Musical; we had a static wide and two main zooms on the sides; and a roving camera which will be edited in in Post-production. I was on the right hand zoom (camera 3), I found this a very enjoyable task; it was difficult to catch certain movements from the actors but with the excellent directing and PA-ing from Mat and Debbie it was made a lot easier.

I learnt on this OB that actors especially in panto and stage acting, always change the way they move acros the stage (etc.), this made it slightly difficult to move with them when you have seen them do it one way and then another.

However when we recorded the Saturday matinee and the evening show, the filming did go really well, it was a tiring experience but I enjoyed every moment; and I'm really looking forward to having another chance on a multi-cam OB.
