For those of you asking about lighting, so sorry we ran out of time that day. Fixtures included, Robe 1200 Wash, Robe Spikie, Robe BFML Followspot, ClayPaky Mythos, Colorforce ii 48, VL3600 all controlled on MA3 Full Size in Mode 3.
And for everyone who's curious about how much money is being spent on conspicuous consumption in the name of religion, that lighting board costs $60,000 and is controlling another $10,000 to $50,000+ of lights. Lol.
Man I just came from the Brandon lake video of count ‘em and I was blown away by all aspects of the show. I really wanted to get all of the details and BTS. I’ve had this video saved for a while to come watch it and lo and behold it’s exactly what I was hoping for. Everyone killed it on this one! Feeling super inspired by y’all’s work!
I miss so much working on production team. I was head of cameras out our church and we had Blackmagic's Ursa minis and pocket 4ks. running around with a handheld ursa mini gave me so much delight
I just started in the production world at my church after serving as a volunteer for 6 years so seeing how ya'll do concerts and have some similar gear is awesome! How did you get into the touring business and doing production like that for a living?
I had an absolute blast being front and center in the pit at your show-mind-blowingly awesome! 🎉 Your video is super cool, but I've gotta admit, the tech jargon is like a whole other language to me. 🤷♀️ Any chance you could make a "Tech 101 for Grandmas" version? You know, break down how you make those dazzling lights and epic sounds in a way even my grandma would get. I'm super curious but need a little "tech-to-English" translation! 😊
Thanks for the tour, it is really something! One question though: why are you not documenting the lighting rig as well? I would have loved to get some insight into the stage lighting and programming.
We tried a couple times that day and stuff kept getting in the way sadly. Lighting includes, Claypaky Mythos, Robe 1200, Robe Spiky, Colorforce ii 48, VL3600, BMFL followspot. Grandma3 full size consoles.
Thanks Drake! I found this video as I was looking for the details on the frontline mics. I was impressed how much John Foreman sounded like Brandon Lake and I wanted to see how it was done! I'm curious about the capsules and processing, as well as what you use for tuning!
Also, no shame in "cleaning out" your comments. I don't think calling out a brother in Christ in the UA-cam comments is something Jesus would condone anyways:)
What a video! I loved it. Congratulations to you all. What camera and lens did you use to record this vlog? the video and audio are great! Greetings from Perú.
It’s actually a video I’ve been thinking about making, but 50% of us on this all volunteered and then worked for a church in production. Myself I worked at Bethel for 10 years and got to tour with Bethel Music, and then would start getting offers for other tours. This world is all about connections. The other 50% of the crew on this tour were vender techs. So they worked for Spectrum or PRG. That’s probably the easiest way to get on a tour fast is to find a job at a production rental house like PRG, Spectrum, 4Wall and the list continues.
Sadly we ran out of time that day. But fixtures were Claypaky Mythos, VL3600, Robe 1200, Colorforce ii 48, Robe Spiky, and BMFL Followspots. Controlled by 2x MA3 Full Size in mode 3. The strips on the stage edge are just some Chinese strips that clamp on.
Because most of your gear is run digitally especially your mixer, does the band/vocals control their own In-ears or the team fully controls the bands/vocals in-ears?
100%! 90% of our shows are using Digico and Waves for FOH and Mons. It’s pretty industry standard at the moment. Digico and AvId waves integration is pretty great.
@@DrakeKelch interesting. So in your opinion ln running a production company, do you find it more economical to buy the equipment outright as the business grows or loan or rent? I guess it's a little of both depending on the size of the production
@@OrbofShingeki a tour like this all the gear is rented from production rental houses. Owning a production company we own what we use all the time and rent in from rental houses what we need.
Practice! Most of us all learned in church by trying. Now days UA-cam has great info and also places like MXU and Production Online! Most church’s allow volunteers to come learn

But they are taxed... they are selling non-religious goods (tickets, parking, merch) if attendance was free and they only sold religious items ans claimed to be a church then they wouldn't be taxed. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
So you guys just don't see the glaringly obvious contradictions that come along with spending hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars to play glamorous rock shows in the name of religion? Lol you can't make this stuff up
@@robroilen4441what about politicians who spend billions in tax dollars to help the poor but end up only helping themselves and wasting actually tax dollars? Why are you so mad about how an artist spends his or her own money? Why aren’t you commenting on Taylor swifts post who makes a billion dollars off of one tour?
@@eddiesuparman6178 This isn't an either-or situation, is it? Someone can be critical of excess whether it's on the part of Taylor Swift or hypocritical religious people. Like I said though, there's a huge difference when your conspicuous consumption is under the guise of religion, especially when that religion is supposedly operating on principles that disavow such things.

@@robroilen4441 actually it’s $80k for the console and about $500k in lights if you were to purchase. Everything in the video is rented.
@@DrakeKelch And how much is being spent to rent all of this, plus the vehicles required to haul it?
@@robroilen4441 no clue, not my department. I’m just a video engineer.
Who was the lighting tech that you showed? It looks like Aria from ACT. Was she involved in this tour?

It’s so good to see this. It gives me inspiration on how to downsize to the scale of my church.
Wow, the high-end gear on this is insane. Even the coffee makers are fancy, haha.
Solid crew.
Love it! Awesome video! As someone who is second in charge of production at my church this is a dream 😁😍
Pleasure to work with ya'll and spend a month on this tour!
Awesome BTS, thanks Drake
so beautiful
Thank you!
Great job and looking good 👍🏾…

DPA 4018 for the mic. I know Jonah is doing all his processing in waves on a Digico 338 now.
@@DrakeKelch Thanks! Appreciate it! I'm really impressed with the KSM8 capsules, and I want to learn about some of these higher-end options!
This video is what i was looking for.
Woo. Hope to have experience with you guys one day.
That’s my hometown ! Fresno ca !
The equipment here is some of the most insanely expensive I’ve ever seen 😱 love it tho
Holy Cow that is a lot of money. Wish I could be involved in something at this level.
man this is sick i would love to be apart of this
What a video! I loved it. Congratulations to you all.
What camera and lens did you use to record this vlog? the video and audio are great!
Greetings from Perú.
Sony A7siii and Sony 16-35mm f4
good one
Most companies don’t allow this, they should tho, because more people need to see how the very concerts they go to get set up.
I agree, we need more transparency when it comes to how tax exempt religious organizations are spending mountains of money
@@robroilen4441lmao, I didn’t know concerts were tax exempt! Bahahaha 😂 such a dumb comment.
I love to work with a Rig and love Audio Engineering. But still didn't get any proper opportunity. #MIDAS #M32 #Vi3000 #QSC

Can someone tell me how to get anyone gets a job in any of these positions?

wow, would love to work for such productions! do your camera operators have special education/study or are you looking mostly for experience?
Only one of our guys has gone to school all of us just learned on the job.
Because most of your gear is run digitally especially your mixer, does the band/vocals control their own In-ears or the team fully controls the bands/vocals in-ears?
2:00 on the video is monitor world. Nick is side stage mixes everyone’s ears.
Digico and waves audio... how is that low latency... how is it even possible combining those for a
live entertainment. . ?
100%! 90% of our shows are using Digico and Waves for FOH and Mons. It’s pretty industry standard at the moment. Digico and AvId waves integration is pretty great.
Can you capture the entire KB set production?
They used everything the same except for they had a SD9 for FOH. Mons console was shared.
10:23 What's outlining the LED walls? What kind of walls are those?
Those are Roe Vanish 8. The outline is just the content.
Im curious on how funding works for all this. Artists pay production and then gets money back through ticket sales?
That’s big picture yeah.

The coffee setup is sickkk
Wish they wouldve mentioned which ears theyre using
It was a mix of UE, JH, and 64 audio. Some of them even went back and forth between UE and 64 during the tour.
@@DrakeKelch o nice!
best way to learn FOH?
Practice! Most of us all learned in church by trying. Now days UA-cam has great info and also places like MXU and Production Online! Most church’s allow volunteers to come learn
that tax exempt budget at the end lol
How do they not realize the contradiction? Lol
9000 tripods? What's that, the price?
They are actually Vinten Vector 900. That’s the model number.
No love for the lighting guys :/ hhaha what were the brand of Confetti Cannons

I’m not sure what cannons they are.
Cannons were from Pyrotechnico FX, just standard C02 powered confetti cannons.
Imagine Jesus showing up here. Literally the opposite of what he said to do.
He showed up every night. That’s why we do what we do.
@@DrakeKelch I seem to remember him flipping tables over when this sort of thing was done in his father’s name. Hypocrites.

Time to tax these churches and tours.
This is not a church… it’s literally a concert with artist..
@@eddiesuparman6178 This is literaly a christian tour. Time to tax them. 🙂
But they are taxed... they are selling non-religious goods (tickets, parking, merch) if attendance was free and they only sold religious items ans claimed to be a church then they wouldn't be taxed. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Kinda silly having a huge switcher with 24+ inputs and only running 6 cams. 💀
Rental companies don’t really buy the small versions of that kinda thing. They buy the biggest unit possible and then it can work for all clients.
@@DrakeKelch I misspoke i assumed thats something the Church/Label purchased.
so is this about your 'god' or just about a bunch of nerds losing it over specs & gears
This video is for the people who want to see what goes on behind the scenes. But every night people get saved and that’s why we do what we do.
@@DrakeKelch And "what you do" is spend untold amounts of money to put on glamorous, materialistic rock shows in the name of religion, right?
Nice video bro . As one of church tech it's good to show the behind the scene, for other to see what they are lucking
Been working live production in various fields since 1978. So for me, I'm a nerd.
Has Christian music devolved to this ?
100%. It's about the money and appearances, just like it always has been. But it's fine because they say it's all for Jesus. Lol.
Booo, no love for lighting?!
