NOEP Stadium concert
The NOEP stadium concert in Tallinn, Estonia, featured the Estonian artist Andres Kõpper, known by his stage name NOEP. NOEP is a popular electronic-pop musician and producer who has a unique blend of indie pop and electronic music. His concerts are known for their energetic performances and visually captivating stage setups.
The stadium concert in Tallinn was a significant event held at a large venue, A. Le Coq Arena, a prominent stadium in the city. That concert attracted a substantial audience, both local fans and visitors, and was a major highlight in the Estonian music scene.
The buzz of anticipation filled the air as the sun set over the massive stadium, ready to host one of the most significant live broadcasts of the year. The production scale was immense, involving a meticulously orchestrated ballet of technology and human expertise.
Creating a live broadcast in a stadium where no Estonian artist has ever performed presented a unique challenge. We utilized an impressive array of equipment to capture the event from every possible angle. This included two Cablecams for dynamic aerial shots, a speed dolly for swift, smooth tracking shots, and a Moviebird 'Technocrane for versatile and extended reach camera movements. We also deployed a drone to achieve breathtaking aerial views. Altogether, the production involved 19 cameras, ensuring no moment was missed and providing viewers with an immersive and comprehensive experience of the historic event.
“Eesti Laul” -
Estonian National Selection
for Eurovision Song Contest
Estonia selects the song to represent Estonia on ESC through a set of LIve Television Shows: 2 Semi-Final Shows and one Final Show. These do happen in January - March every year. Around 24 songs will compete with each other. For creating an unique visual capture for each song, detailed camera scripts will be created in LIveEdit. The scriptiing process takes months of preparation and every show gets several rehearsals with the artists on the stage. Much like the production schedule goes on the main Eurovision Song Contest.
The shows are filmed in front of the live audience in the arenas, 1 flyiing camera, 2 Steadicams, 2 Moviebird cranes and a rail dolly is usually used in the the camera set.
Some songs here: OLLIE.-Venom, Anna Sahlene - Champion, STEFAN - Hope.
Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2018 in Minsk
Belarusian Television did decide to hire international specialists for the key positions in the production team when the production of JESC 2018 started. I did fly in and did bring with me a VIsion Mixer and Script Supervisor from Estonia. Later throughout the process we did also add one Estonian Steadicam operator. OB truck and crew were from NEP Sweden. The rest of the broadcast team was from Belarus and the production language within the team was English.
