Derek Hough Live In Las Vegas
18-Camera Production for Derek Hough Live in Las Vegas
In Color Studios completed an 18-camera, multi-camera shoot for Derek Hough Live in Las Vegas, capturing the energy and precision of the live performance. The production required careful planning to cover the choreography, audience reactions, and stage design while maintaining a polished, cinematic look.
Planning the Multi-Camera Coverage
The team mapped each camera position before the performance to create dynamic, consistent coverage. The setup included:
Cinema cameras for close-ups and slow-motion shots.
Jib- and crane-mounted cameras for sweeping overhead views.
Gimbal operators for fluid movement on and around the stage.
Fixed cameras for reliable coverage of key performance moments.
This combination allowed the edit to move between intimate details and the scale of the full stage.
Coordination During the Live Performance
An 18-camera production depends on close coordination among camera operators, directors, and technical crews. The team monitored the feeds in real time and adapted to changing lighting, rapid movement, and split-second transitions throughout the show.
Post-Production and Delivery
In post-production, the footage was shaped into a cohesive program that preserved the pacing and emotion of the live experience. The completed material was prepared for broadcast, digital distribution, and promotional content.
From pre-production through delivery, the project demonstrates In Color Studios’ approach to live event video production in Las Vegas.
