The 60-Minute Master Clock
Emotional intensity and critical technical milestones mapped against the video runtime.
Department Directives
AUDIO
- ► No Track Triggering: The video provides all backing tracks. Your job is live mixing and ducking.
- ► The Acoustic Switch (34:00): Video goes silent for "Saturn". Be ready to switch to pure live acoustic routing instantly.
- ► Feedback Danger: Minute 21 (Fire Sequence) has a massive audio roar printed to video. Duck live stage mics to prevent loops.
VIDEO
- ► The Master Clock: Press play at 0:00. Do not stop until 60:00. You dictate the pace of the show.
- ► Virtual Band Active: During The Meeting, Everything Between, 17, and King & Dragon, display stylized fragmented macro shots or silhouettes.
- ► The Dome Final Reveal: Minute 48 features the Sikeston Dome and transitions into physical gallery murals.
LIGHTING
- ► Mood Shift: Act I is localized spots. Act III (32:00) requires a massive shift to illuminate the physical room and art gallery.
- ► Strobe Sync (21:00): The Fire Sequence is your heaviest moment. Aggressive, chaotic strobes syncing with the video's printed fire roar.
- ► Maria (15:00): Specific stage blocking. Hard spotlight 1 on Kim (Pedestal), Spotlight 2 on Ben across the room.
THE FIRE SEQUENCE (21:00)
Act II transitions into total chaos. This is the most technically demanding 3 minutes of the show. All departments must execute in perfect synchronization.
VIDEO DEPT.
The Catalyst
At exactly 21:00, the video transitions from static to a pre-recorded projection of aggressive flames. The printed audio track blasts a high-decibel fire roar and chaotic Digital V.O. panic.
LIGHTING DEPT.
The Blinding
Instantly kill standard stage wash and performer spotlights. Trigger aggressive, blinding strobes to simulate the violent energy of the flames and disorient the room.
AUDIO DEPT.
The Mute
Because the fire roar is printed directly to the venue's mains via the video track, you MUST duck or entirely mute the live vocal mics to prevent catastrophic feedback loops.
Post-Fire (24:00): Video fades to lingering smoke. Lights return to a single, warm spotlight. Audio unmutes live mics for quiet, intimate reflection dialogue.
Virtual Band Strategies
Stylized Interference for track-heavy full band sequences (The Meeting, Everything Between, 17, King & Dragon).
Option A
High-contrast backlit silhouettes.
Option B
Fragmented, tight instrument shots.
Option C
Degraded security cam broadband grid.
Option D
Luma-keyed digital static masking.
