Jeff Ravitz Designs High Def Concert Broadcast From Sundance Film Festival

Emmy-winning lighting designer Jeff Ravitz, partner in the lighting design firm, Visual Terrain, Inc., has completed shooting a high-definition broadcast for the Fuse Network. The program, Where Music Meets Film, originated from Park City, Utah during the recent Sundance Film Festival, and has been airing on Fuse throughout February. The broadcast presented a compilation of artists who performed over a three day period at the Zone Bar in the Park City landmark venue, Harry O's. On the bill were headliners Josh Groban, Jason Mraz, Michelle Branch, and Tyler Hilton, as well as a lineup of Warner Brothers indie artists.

"The show was technically challenging in so many ways," comments Ravitz. "The club space is so small we could barely fit in the equipment we needed to light and shoot the shows, let alone fit the bands, themselves! It was a five-camera shoot, including a Steadi-Cam and a jib in a room with a 9' ceiling! We attempted to make the show appear intimate warm interesting and proper from the standpoint of lighting angles, despite the space and height limitations."

Clips from the show can be viewed at the first address below.

Other high-def projects Ravitz and Visual Terrain have recently completed include the television lighting for a recent Sheryl Crow shoot at New York's Fillmore at Irving Plaza, as well as tapings for Jay Z, Avril Lavigne, Lenny Kravitz, and Chris Brown.
