WoidLa 24 was the regional scout jamboree of Lower Austria in summer 2024, bringing together thousands of participants . One of the highlights of the program was the concert night “Laute Nacht”, featuring the Styrian event band Coffee Rush .

Coffee Rush is known for their wide-ranging repertoire, from jazz and Austropop to rock and party music. They regularly perform at weddings, balls, and large events, and here too they managed to energize the crowd for several hours.

Our team was responsible for the entire live production.

Pre-production spanned six weeks and included planning, gear allocation, and a full rehearsal setup at FH St. Pölten. On site, the setup took two days, with cable routing, rigging the jib and CableCam, and testing all connections. The concert was shot with six cameras, live mixed, and simultaneously fed to the videowall. Post-production lasted only a few days and focused on editing, correcting color and exposure shifts, and adding titles and credits.

• Multi-camera setup with a mix of broadcast and mirrorless cameras

• Use of jib arm and CableCam for dynamic perspectives

• Blackmagic ATEM system for live mixing and Hyperdeck for recording

• Integration of videowall feed during the concert

• Audio captured via Yamaha digital mixer and Rode NTG-2 microphones

• Post-production in DaVinci Resolve for editing and grading

• Scale of production: Setup took twice as long as expected due to complexity

• Unreliable gear: HDMI-to-SDI converters and some cameras had dropouts, fixed live by switching to backup cameras

• New hardware: First experience with broadcast cameras led to a temporary white balance issue

• Lighting changes: As night fell, cameras required repeated live adjustments

• Improvisation: The band did not always follow the planned setlist, requiring quick, on-the-fly direction during the live cut
