DIT for Electric Daisy Carnival 2012

07.9.12 5:40pm

Red Sky Pictures recently provided DIT services for Eyewax TV’s production for Insomniac’s Electric Daisy Carnival. With three Epic cameras, and six DSLRs, Red Sky had to provide an efficient workflow to manage terabytes worth of media throughout the day, as well as a way for pre-color-corrected files to be handed off for same-day editing. The workflow allowed a final product to be turned around just a few days after the wrap of the three-day, 36-hour music festival.

EDC is one of the largest electronic music festivals in the country, and showcases many of the world’s best DJ’s along-side awesome art displays and fun carnival rides. The experience really is like stepping into another world, but still fun nonetheless. Red Sky is excited to build even faster workflows for data management for these productions in the future.
