Gravel Pit

The Gravel Pit Leeds

The Gravel Pit is a music project based in Leeds that organises DJ performances in a venue local to Hyde Park. These performances are streamed through the internet service Ustream, where users can comment on the stream in real time. The aim of the project is to showcase local nights and upcoming DJ's to adults of both genders between the age of 18 - 30 that want to listen to live performances whilst in the comfort of their own home.
After spectating a few of their videos I took the initiative to message the group commenting on their production quality constructively, as well as offering my own services towards the project. Mikey Quinston the founder of the Gravel Pit promptly replied to my message, enquiring on a date in which we could meet up and discuss the production side of the project.
On the 20th of February along with Yoni Cohen and Bill Atwell we visited the site of the music project, discussing lighting arrangements, camera proxemics and the streaming capabilities. A conclusion was made that a test night had to be arranged in order to experiment with the Ustream software and the multi-camera set-up. A date was confirmed for the 4th of March for the test rehearsal.
