Adelaide Cabaret Festival
Wednesday, September 21st, 2011
When New York cabaret luminary Michael Feinstein came to Adelaide with the Frank Sinatra songbook in hand, Gearhouse Broadcast was pleased to get involved.
The spectacle was captured with HD4, with eight Sony HDC-1500 cameras.
The Gearhouse crew used the EVS XFile workflow to record each camera in isolation, while director Bernie Zelvis created a moody, artistic live cut that aired on Foxtel’s Bio channel.
Top Gear Australia
Tuesday, September 20th, 2011
Gearhouse worked with Freehand Productions on Series 4 of the Australian edition of this global petrol-head institution.
The project was shot out of GHB’s SD1 production vehicle, with six cameras. We can’t give too much away regarding the hair-raising stunts featured in Series 4. Suffice to say the car enthusiasts amongst the crew have never enjoyed their work so much.
Tri-Nations Rugby Success
Tuesday, September 20th, 2011
The international rugby series was a huge event that saw HD1 and HD4 linked together, providing feeds for host broadcaster Fox Sports, as well as Nine’s Wide World Of Sports and Nine News.
The Lawo/Riedal combination shined, with audio and comms between the two trucks integrating seamlessly.
A booked-out ANZ stadium meant that rigging could only be performed on the TX day, making for extremely long days. Fortunately the quality of the games and the success of the production made it very satisfying for all involved.
The Cure Live at Sydney Opera House
Tuesday, September 20th, 2011
The staff at GHB was rapt to record The Cure’s two performances at the Vivid Sydney festival. GHB’s HD4 facilitated the broadcast with nine cameras, two dollies, a jib and 13 VTRs.
Each camera was recorded in isolation, with a live cut produced at 1080/24p.
The band performed their first three albums in their entirety, and the concert will be available on a Blu-ray & DVD entitled Reflections, released worldwide later this year.

The sheer volume of equipment required to meet demand, ensure that the projects ran smoothly and to deadline, involved Gearhouse Broadcast making significant investments in Canon HD Lenses, Sennheiser Microphones, Sony HD Monitors, Sony HD Cameras and Sony HD Camcorders.
