Live theatre presents unique challenges that require preparation, awareness, and an understanding of how performances unfold on stage. ON21 Productions specializes in recording school musicals, community theatre productions, and stage performances using multi-camera setups designed to preserve the pacing, blocking, and emotional impact of the show.
Whenever possible, we attend a performance or rehearsal in advance to become familiar with the production. This allows us to learn cues, anticipate scene changes, and understand where the focus of each moment should be, resulting in more intentional camera choices during the recorded performance.
This preparation period also allows time to confirm audio connections with the house sound system, ensuring vocals, music, and dialogue are captured clearly and consistently. By addressing technical details ahead of time, we reduce the risk of issues during the recorded event and help the production run smoothly.
Our approach is designed to be respectful of the performers and audience while delivering a recording that reflects the care and effort put into the production itself. The final result is a polished, professional video suitable for archival use, private viewing, or limited distribution in accordance with licensing guidelines.
