For this production I worked as Director of Photography on the annual Christmas concert arranged by the European Commission in Stockholm — a full multi-camera live event capturing the atmosphere of the evening from every angle.
To cover the concert I used a mix of PTZ cameras alongside a Sony FX9 and a Sony A7S III on a Ronin S gimbal, giving us both locked-off wide coverage and smooth, cinematic movement. The production was supported by a full crew: a four-person camera team, two lighting technicians and two sound engineers.
Live events like this need careful planning and a crew that can work fast under pressure — it’s one of my favourite kinds of work as a videographer in Stockholm.
