YAW EVANS

LIVE SHOW IDEAS / CREATIVE DIRECTION

THE VISUALS FOR THE SET WILL TRY TO CAPTURE THE CULTURE + STYLE OF THE INFLUENCES AND THE LOCATIONS WHERE THE MUSIC IS CREATED + WHERE THE SOUNDS ARE SAMPLED.

THE MAIN VISUALS WILL BE PRE-RECORDED CLIPS OF THE LOCATIONS THE SAMPLES ARE RECORDED — AND CUT TO AND BETWEEN LIVE CAMERA FEEDS.

TO ADD A LAYER OF COLOUR TO THE SET — WE’LL USE A CAMERA WITH A THRESHOLD TO JUST SHOW THE LIGHTS ON THE EQUIPMENT USED. THIS IS TO USE THE UNIQUE ELEMENTS OF THE YAW SHOWS AS A VISUAL DRIVER.

—

DEPENDING ON THE VENUE AND SETUP, THE VISUAL COMPLEXITY AND RIG WILL DIFFER. THE FOLLOWING PAGES WILL SHOW THE VISUAL STYLING, DIRECTION AND VARIOUS VISUAL RIG POTENTIALS.

ALL EXAMPLES AND CREAITVE DIRECTION, IS HOW I CAN SEE THIS WORKING MOVING FORWARD AND BE A GOOD STARTING BLOCK, TO GET THE VISUAL STYLE OF ‘YAW EVANS’ AND THE LIVE SHOWS. WE CAN ADAPT AND PROGRESS THE DIRECTION AS MORE SHOWS ARE DONE AND FOR EACH VENUE.

THE VIDEO CONTENT WILL CONSIST OF CLIPS FROM AREAS SAMPLES HAVE BEEN RECORDED AND LIVE CAMERA FEEDS THAT WILL BE BLACK AND WHITE. THE PRE-RECORDED VIDEOS WILL BE DRIVEN BY VARIOUS FREQUENCIES FROM THE LIVE AUDIO.

THE LIVE CAMERA FEEDS WILL BE CUT BETWEEN THROUGHOUT THE SET.

FOR BURSTS OF COLOUR — CAPTURING THE UNIQUE ELEMENTS OF A YAW SHOW. USING THRESHOLDS ON CAMERA FEED POINTING AT THE EQUIPMENT AND OVERLAY ON TOP OF THE BLACK AND WHITE CONTENT.

AUDIO GENERATIVE VISUAL ELEMENTS // REFERENCES

1. VENUE / EVENT CONTROLLED VISUALS

This is where the Venue / Event already has a person running the visuals.

For this, we can provide either

Short (15 min) video to be looped through YAW’s set.

Medium / Long video (30 min to 1hr+) to be played at the beginning of set and will run the full length of the set. – Not to be looped.

2. VENUE WITH ACCESS TO ‘VIDEO’ – HDMI AT STAGE

HDMI for us to plug our VIDEO RIG (see next section for video rig details) in on stage.

1. VIDEO RIG to run TouchDesigner to switch pre-recorded video automatically + Audio Generative FX.

2. VIDEO RIG to run TouchDesigner to switch live camera feeds + Audio Generative FX.

We could also setup the CV (Control voltage) FX control, so as you add the audio FXs it effects the visual.

3. MEDIUM + LARGE PRODUCTION

Live visuals controlled from FOH (Front of House) by MARK (DEPTHM). Camera and audio feeds to be ran from Stage to FOH.

1. VISUALS to be operated for the full length of set. Live cameras, pre-recorded videos + Audio Generative FXs

The overall design and technical setup to be custom for each Set. This needs time to adapt show files and rig setup depending on the venue.

VISUAL STAND ALONE RIG /

1. VIDEO RIG to run TouchDesigner to switch pre-recorded video automatically + Audio Generative FX.

Using this as a visual rig on the same table / booth you’ll be setting up on, could be a great option. VERY small footprint yet powerful enough to run all the generative visuals.
