1 00:00:02,090 --> 00:00:08,870 nc live is all about trying to emulate a 2 00:00:05,549 --> 00:00:11,309 live performance in a cinema environment 3 00:00:08,870 --> 00:00:13,019 it's a whole new experience for those 4 00:00:11,309 --> 00:00:15,299 who can't be in the theater but feel 5 00:00:13,019 --> 00:00:19,800 they have a real connection to the live 6 00:00:15,299 --> 00:00:21,420 action on stage someone in Australia in 7 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,699 New Zealand on a small little village in 8 00:00:21,420 --> 00:00:25,470 the UK will be able to see an amazing 9 00:00:23,699 --> 00:00:28,670 piece of theater they otherwise won't 10 00:00:25,470 --> 00:00:28,670 have the chance to see it 11 00:00:32,070 --> 00:00:38,089 [Music] 12 00:00:35,649 --> 00:00:40,370 camera rehearsal one is the first time 13 00:00:38,089 --> 00:00:42,769 as an entire team that we're at the 14 00:00:40,370 --> 00:00:44,629 theater the morning of camera hustle one 15 00:00:42,769 --> 00:00:45,979 was thought at 6:30 and will arrive and 16 00:00:44,629 --> 00:00:47,690 we will build the cameras so that 17 00:00:45,979 --> 00:00:49,190 started building still deck platforms 18 00:00:47,690 --> 00:00:51,019 are in our auditorium it might also 19 00:00:49,190 --> 00:00:53,329 include seat removals we then rigged the 20 00:00:51,019 --> 00:00:54,530 cameras onto these platforms once these 21 00:00:53,329 --> 00:00:56,059 are ready to then go through a series of 22 00:00:54,530 --> 00:00:57,979 checks where we ensure that we've got 23 00:00:56,059 --> 00:01:04,819 communication lines between the 24 00:00:57,979 --> 00:01:06,110 auditorium and the OB truck so the great 25 00:01:04,819 --> 00:01:07,940 thing about NT live is being able to go 26 00:01:06,110 --> 00:01:09,979 to lots of theaters around the West End 27 00:01:07,940 --> 00:01:11,360 and also regionally so when small island 28 00:01:09,979 --> 00:01:12,710 we were in the Olivier theatre that's 29 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,690 the theatre we've worked in a number of 30 00:01:12,710 --> 00:01:15,979 times before over the 10 years coming to 31 00:01:14,690 --> 00:01:17,240 do the Lehmann trilogy the Piccadilly 32 00:01:15,979 --> 00:01:18,649 Theatre had his own set of challenges 33 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,990 but it was the first time we'd been in 34 00:01:18,649 --> 00:01:23,090 this theatre this rehearsal will run 35 00:01:20,990 --> 00:01:25,069 exactly as a normal performance word in 36 00:01:23,090 --> 00:01:27,020 costume full technical support 37 00:01:25,069 --> 00:01:30,289 it's our first trial at seeing how we 38 00:01:27,020 --> 00:01:32,509 can work as the production the job of 39 00:01:30,289 --> 00:01:36,020 the camera director is basically being 40 00:01:32,509 --> 00:01:37,819 in charge of the transfer from the 41 00:01:36,020 --> 00:01:39,950 theater audience to the cinema Williams 42 00:01:37,819 --> 00:01:42,229 the way it works is that you can watch 43 00:01:39,950 --> 00:01:43,429 it in the theatre and try and get a 44 00:01:42,229 --> 00:01:45,200 sense of where you want to put the 45 00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:46,789 cameras whether you want the cameras to 46 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,640 move all you or the cameras to be static 47 00:01:46,789 --> 00:01:52,610 and then new camera script so you 48 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:54,960 basically get given a wide shot from 49 00:01:52,610 --> 00:01:57,299 from the back of the auditorium 50 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,950 you literally start going through the 51 00:01:57,299 --> 00:02:03,770 whole script writing in every camera 52 00:01:58,950 --> 00:02:03,770 shot we shot the first record yesterday 53 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:09,970 today we all come and watch it projected 54 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:13,410 in a cinema rather than just on the 55 00:02:09,970 --> 00:02:13,410 screen because we're shooting for cinema 56 00:02:14,310 --> 00:02:17,800 we go around the room afterwards and 57 00:02:16,510 --> 00:02:19,180 everyone talks about the things that 58 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,680 work and the things that don't work and 59 00:02:19,180 --> 00:02:22,930 if there's things that we can do better 60 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,760 or everybody gets a chance to do that 61 00:02:22,930 --> 00:02:26,620 and then go away and and everyone does 62 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:34,060 their own thing to make the next one 63 00:02:26,620 --> 00:02:36,640 better if person sitting in stalls in 64 00:02:34,060 --> 00:02:39,340 the Ollivier theater doesn't see the 65 00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:41,920 lace of the way I would like the person 66 00:02:39,340 --> 00:02:44,290 sitting at the cinema not a sin balance 67 00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:47,230 that's why I have to change it so we are 68 00:02:44,290 --> 00:02:48,850 absolutely sure that even on a tighter 69 00:02:47,230 --> 00:02:51,480 close-up we won't be able to see the 70 00:02:48,850 --> 00:02:54,760 lace so we won't spoil the magic of 71 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:56,319 theatre first kind of rehearsals that is 72 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,140 the time where we take all the notes and 73 00:02:56,319 --> 00:03:00,700 we start our planning those notes will 74 00:02:59,140 --> 00:03:03,040 have to be ready for second camera 75 00:03:00,700 --> 00:03:05,260 rehearsal and that is when we check if 76 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,650 the notes that we applied effectively 77 00:03:05,260 --> 00:03:12,360 worked or not 78 00:03:07,650 --> 00:03:14,940 [Music] 79 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,890 when you think about the whole NT live 80 00:03:14,940 --> 00:03:19,200 production be this incredibly complex 81 00:03:16,890 --> 00:03:20,640 event there's so much going on my job is 82 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,800 to come in early and rehearse the 83 00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:24,720 introduction just get a sense of how it 84 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,849 will works and then when the actual 85 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,010 moment comes they can rely on me just to 86 00:03:26,849 --> 00:03:30,180 welcome the audience in the theater 87 00:03:28,010 --> 00:03:31,950 welcome the audience watching worldwide 88 00:03:30,180 -->

00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:42,599 unfold 92 00:03:36,850 --> 00:03:44,700 [Music] 93 00:03:42,599 --> 00:03:46,650 before every show we go around to do 94 00:03:44,700 --> 00:03:47,879 what we call a sharp cheddar so we go 95 00:03:46,650 --> 00:03:49,650 make sure everything's in the right 96 00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:51,299 position we check all the smaller 97 00:03:49,650 --> 00:03:53,340 details and that everything looks good 98 00:03:51,299 --> 00:03:54,900 to go and it's just quite exciting to 99 00:03:53,340 --> 00:03:58,049 know that people are getting to see it 100 00:03:54,900 -->

about nt9 123 00:04:54,900 --> 00:05:01,050 that's the big plus about the whole 124 00:04:57,599 --> 00:05:02,699 experiment as an audience in cinemas you 125 00:05:01,050 --> 00:05:04,800 will see
