20% Performer Context

Camera Safety Protocol
Protecting equipment while capturing optimal angles requires clarity on laser systems. Stage-facing wide shots deliver powerful context but pose sensor damage risks if lasers are active and uncontrolled.
Stage-Facing Wide Angle Strategy
These sweeping shots capture the full scale of FireOne's stage integration and crowd immersion—but they're only deployed when laser safety is confirmed. We need clear communication protocols to protect camera sensors while maximizing creative opportunities.

Purpose: Prevent permanent sensor damage from direct laser exposure during wide-angle stage captures
Required Confirmations
1
Is a laser system being used?
Confirm presence and specifications
2
When is it active?
Exact timing windows for laser operation
3
Who controls it?
Direct operator contact for coordination
4
Can it be temporarily managed?
Options to disable or redirect during key capture windows
Cue-Driven Coverage System
Pyrotechnic effects happen on precise timelines—which means camera coverage must be equally precise. Real-time communication between FireOne's control team and our camera operators ensures we capture peak moments, not aftermath.
DF Liaison Positioning
Dedicated liaison stationed beside Sachin backstage at FireOne control hub
Real-Time Cue Communication
Liaison relays upcoming effect triggers to camera team via comms system
Camera Team Preparation
Operators position and frame in advance of each major effect sequence
Perfect Timing Execution
Cameras rolling at ignition moment—capturing full effect from start to peak
Critical Cue Alerts Include:
  • Boat fireworks ignition countdown
  • Tower firing sequence initiation
  • Pyro burst triggers (top and front stage)
  • Powder release moments
  • Finale sequence coordination
Result: The final edit feels "on-beat"—effects and camera work synchronized like a choreographed performance. Zero missed moments, maximum impact.
Monday Morning Turnaround
Delivering a polished 60-second highlight film by Monday morning requires an on-site editor working in parallel with active filming. This isn't post-event editing—it's real-time assembly with final polish overnight.
Live Ingest During Event
Editor receives footage via wireless transfer as filming progresses, building a rough timeline in real-time
Immediate Hero Selection
Selects standout FireOne moments and crowd reactions while event continues—no waiting until wrap
Structure Assembly On-Site
Builds the 60-second framework following the 0-5s hook, 5-45s showcase, 45-58s context structure
Overnight Final Polish

Why This Works: Parallel workflow means editing starts hours before filming ends. By the time the last effect fires, 80% of the edit is already complete. Final polish happens overnight, not over days.
