Putting the mainstage
on the bigscreen
Every May for three years, my team at Red Element Studios loaded a cargo van with video gear, sunscreen, and just enough optimism, then headed to The Gorge Amphitheater in Eastern Washington.
With a small, tight-knit crew wearing as many hats as possible, we ran the live video feed to two massive LED walls on the mainstage—bringing the performance to 20,000 fans in real time. Whether I was operating a camera, flying a drone, running the mixing board, or coordinating the live feed, the work demanded precision, trust, and total collaboration.
It’s an incredible feeling to execute live storytelling at that scale—but it only works because of the team behind it.
