Screen, stage and audio for a live comedy show where the video is part of the act rather than a backdrop.
What the job involved, and what it had to work around.
The project
A Rosenstock show is built around video. The sketches, the impressions, the pre-recorded material — the screen is a cast member, and it has to be cued to the second because the timing of the joke depends on it.
That is a different job to hanging a backdrop. DSD supplied the screen, the staging and the audio, with playback tight enough that the performer can work against the video live rather than around it.
Comedy is unforgiving about latency. If the picture is late, the room knows.
What we supplied
Every part of the job, listed rather than summarised.
Sized and positioned so video reads as part of the act.
Content cued to the performance rather than looped behind it.
PA specified for speech and video playback in the same mix.
Stage build and sightlines for a solo touring show.
Tell us the site, the date and what it has to do. We will tell you what it takes and whether we are the right people for it.
