Shelf Lives - Live at The Wedgewood Rooms Portsmouth

Filming Shelf Lives at The Wedgewood Rooms in Portsmouth was an exciting opportunity to capture the band’s raw energy and powerful live performance. The main goal of the shoot was to create a high-energy, visually captivating video that would engage their growing fanbase across social media, while showcasing their new music. As Shelf Lives continues to rise in popularity, this debut headline show was a pivotal moment, and it was crucial to deliver content that reflected both the intensity of the performance and the band's connection with their audience.

To achieve this, I filmed from multiple angles throughout the venue, moving around to capture different perspectives of the show. From tight shots of the band’s dynamic stage presence to wide-angle crowd shots, I ensured every key moment was covered. The goal was to reflect the venue’s high-energy atmosphere and the excitement of the fans.

A standout feature of this performance was the strong interaction between the band and the crowd. The connection between Shelf Lives and their fans added an emotional layer to the performance, so I made sure to capture these moments. These crowd interactions were later delivered to the band as full-length content, providing them with additional footage beyond the fast-paced highlight reel.

The final result is a high-energy highlight video with quick edits and punchy transitions, designed to capture the essence of the live show and engage fans instantly. The video was crafted with social media in mind, encouraging fans to share and connect with the band online.

Working on this project with Shelf Lives was a fantastic experience. The video perfectly encapsulates their electrifying stage presence and the energy of the night, while also helping the band grow their digital presence and engage their fanbase. It was a pleasure to be part of such an exciting chapter in their career.
