Journey Productions- On
Stage Monitor Graphics
Veteran Rockers Journey
and Def Leppard recently
teamed up for a six month national tour. Once again veteran director Jonathan
Beswick was tapped to direct both bands stage show which shared
a stage featuring a 40 X 60 foot LED wall. Def Leppard came to the stage
with an impressive hi-def graphic package budgeted well over 6 figures.
Beswick was handed the last minute job of beefing up the Journey show
with a fraction of the Def Leppard budget,
Beswick states:
"Ive
worked with Mark on a number of projects and he always comes up with something
fresh and new , and most importantly he keeps within the budget I have
to work with, and always giving me way more than I bargained for. The
Journey graphics was no exception , I gave mark some concept ideas and
he ran with it, kicking it up a double notch to give us animation that
rivaled the Def Leppard content in just a matter of a few weeks."
Armed with nothing but a few albumn covers, a logo, an internet connection
and bit of imagination, Mark created 6- five minute animations for the
rock classics Wheels in the Sky, Lights, Edge
of the Blade ,Dead or Alive, and "Chain Reaction"
as wells as a two minute logo animation to close the show.
When Mark completed the final animation, for Dead or Alive,
lead guitar player Neal Schon was concerned that it was so good that the
fans would not notice his guitar solo.
