Slash, formerly known as Saul Hudson, born on 23 July 1965 in Hampton, London, England, is an English-American musician, composer, lead guitarist and founding member of the famous rock band Guns and Roses (participated in events and recordings from 1985 to 1996), slash is his stage name. After leaving the team, Slash founded Snakepit, and formed Velvet Revolver with former Gunflower players Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum. Slash's self-titled solo album was released in April 2010, after which he toured with singer Myles Kennedy to promote the album.
At the Eagle Rock Concert by Gunflower guitarist Slash and new lead singer Miles Kennedy, both performances were filmed and completed in UHD HDR. Producer and director Parsons chose to add HDR to the recording in order to show the audience a sense of closeness that could not be experienced on the spot, and at the same time, it was combined with 9 camera positions covering the entire stage orientation, bringing the audience an atmosphere that had never been experienced before.
How did you shoot a rock legend?" You have to get to know the artists, their music, and their fans, and then bring that vibe to the screen. Here are five guys singing and playing on stage. Producer Jim Parsons said. In terms of shooting methods, we always try to capture what it feels like to be on set, while giving the audience a variety of angles to show them things they wouldn't normally experience. "The concert was shot at 4K UHD and 23.98fps.
Despite being live, the producers wanted to add more cinematic styles, capture the artists' flair and interactions between band members, and capture the emotions and reactions of the audience. The band's staff were involved in camera position marking because they didn't want the camera to interfere with the band's performance. Luckily, this is consistent with my approach, shooting without affecting the band. Parsons said.
Because some lenses (usually remote still cameras) have different colors than others, they must be balanced. Each song was parameterized before shooting using an online kit that played 4K and 8K files in real time and a 4K HDR monitor.
The band's lighting designer, Deuce, worked with DoP Nick Wheeler to balance the lights for the camera. "It's a priority to change situations, because by the time it airs it's already two o'clock in the afternoon, you can start making lights." Parsons said.
Color grading follows local lighting intensities and color levels, ensuring that color grading doesn't make the singer look lost in colorful lights. The Igloo Post team color-graded hdR to keep everything on stage realistic. HdR grading is prepared by receiving ProRes files as express mail and converting them to DPX/EXR sequences. The concert is graded in HDR-10 with a peak brightness set to 1,000 nits. HDR provides greater color expression to highlight the difference between light and dark provided by the show's lighting director.
Now, the concert can not only be recorded in 4K HDR can also be broadcast live with the same standard, and there is no shortage of 4K HDR figures in domestic concerts, and the 2018 Wang Feng concert adopts the 4K+ Avs2 method for online live broadcasting. At the same time, China's radio and television field adopts HRG standardized production process in 4K HDR broadcasting, and 4K ultra-high-definition channels in China have been broadcast one after another, and the ultra-high-definition industry has officially entered the era of large-scale commercialization. Applicable to the domestic 4K production standard, the live broadcast scheme based on HLR signal launched by Strong Oxygen Technology is in line with the 4K HDR standardization in the field of radio and television.
