15 Shots, One Night at The Wool Store
The frames the shoot is built around — from the empty room before doors to the empty room after, with the crew who make the show happen along the way.
Bump In
01 – 05The empty room
Wide shot of the Wool Store bare before doors — stacked chairs, raw trusswork, dead silent.
Booth check
Close detail on the CDJs and mixer alone under work lights, nobody touching them yet.
Management huddle
Tour manager and venue staff heads-together at the side of stage, clipboard in hand, before doors.
Doors open
First bodies trickling into a still-mostly-empty room, long shadows, anticipation.
Radio check
Security or stage crew mid-conversation on headset, venue floor filling in behind them.
Showtime
06 – 11The pit, wide
Low angle from the barrier, booth lit up, arms starting to rise in foreground silhouette.
Hands on the decks
Tight crop on her hands working the mixer, motion blur on a fader mid-move.
Lighting desk
LD's hands on the board, screen full of cues, in sync with a change on the rig above.
FOH desk
Sound engineer mid-set, faders lit up, headphones on, monitors glowing in the dark.
Crowd surge
Mid-set wide from the side, full room, lights cutting through haze.
Peak moment
Hands-up crowd shot from behind the booth looking out at the room, strobe-lit.
Bump Out
12 – 15Backstage portrait
Clean single portrait against the dressing-room curtain, quiet contrast to the chaos outside.
Quiet corner
A candid off to the side — crew catching their breath, headset round the neck — texture shot.
The changeover
Crew moving gear across the stage between sets, work lights on, headphones round necks.
The room again
Same framing as shot 01, post-show empty, cups and debris on the floor — the bookend.
