02The brief

Three days of live music. Every artist expects coverage.

Blue Note launched its first-ever festival in Napa Valley. Robert Glasper, Mary J. Blige, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Chance the Rapper, Dinner Party, Terrace Martin, and more. Multiple stages, back-to-back performances, no breaks. They needed content hitting social feeds while people were still in the crowd. Photography rolling out in real time. Video that made everyone who wasn't there regret it. The real job was selling next year's tickets before this year's festival was over.

03The challenge

Simultaneous stages, overlapping sets, zero downtime.

Festival content has a short shelf life if you treat it like event coverage. Every artist expects their set to be captured like they're the headliner. Social cuts need to go out same day while the energy is still real. Photography has to run from soundcheck to final bow without missing a set. And all of it needs to feel like you were standing right there, not watching a recap two weeks later.

04The solution

Embedded for the full run. Every stage, every set, every moment.

Multi-camera coverage across every stage. Sit-down interview with Robert Glasper. Behind-the-scenes footage the audience never sees. Crowd shots that captured energy you can't fake. Social cuts went live same day. Photography covered everything from soundcheck to the final bow. The recap video from year one became the trailer for year two. We planned it that way.

05The result

Year one sold year two. That was the job.

The festival grew. So did the scope. The production team stayed the same. Content from year one helped sell year two before anyone had to run an ad campaign. Bigger lineup, more stages, same crew. By the time the last set ended year one, they'd already asked us back.

To the Blue Note team for trusting us with the inaugural run and then handing us the keys again for year two. Napa Valley in August with that lineup.. worst office in the world.
