New Street Heat reached out to collaborate on a high-end live performance video designed to showcase their stage show online—an opportunity that felt especially exciting. As both musicians and filmmakers, projects like this come naturally, blending two worlds that speak the same creative language.

The production was fully turnkey, delivering a high-energy, cinema-style experience in 4K with professional audio engineering and lighting design. To heighten the impact, a fully programmed lighting show was synced to a click track, keeping every take perfectly aligned with the rhythm of the performance.

Collaboration with the band played a key role in capturing the best possible moments. Time was spent understanding their setlist, stage dynamics, and signature cues—when the horn section hit their big stabs, when the vocalist leaned into a phrase, when the rhythm section locked in. By anticipating these moments, camera movement and shot timing could be orchestrated to highlight the energy and emotion of each performance peak.

To match the music’s intensity, a motorized gimbal and motorized slider were used throughout the shoot. These tools added fluid motion and kinetic energy—gliding through beams of light, tracking performers, and syncing camera rhythm to the beat. The result was a sense of momentum and excitement that visually echoed the band’s sound.

The finished video became something to be genuinely proud of—a seamless fusion of cinematography, live production, and music that captured the precision, passion, and spirit of true collaboration.
