Massie with DP Ben Coughlan subsequently opted for an acquisition package based on four URSA Mini Pro 12K variously rigged on Jibs, Steadicam, dollies and tripods, and supplemented that with a URSA Mini Pro 4.6K G2 for handheld work. 'I wanted to use the jib camera as our A cam and worked the camera plan around this.”

'The challenge with multicam work is always how to get enough great shots without the master camera ruining everyone else's shot,' says the Massie. 'Each track had a different setup, and for some tracks, we didn't get to see the lighting state until we were shooting it, so there was a lot of flying by the seat of our pants.' 'We were asked to take care of filming ten performances but with two very distinct looks,' begins Dan Massie, director, producer and ELS MD and cofounder. Working to a creative plan set by lighting and production designer Mark Cuniffe and agreed by the US radio platforms with Ed Sheeran, it was left to ELS to get all of the required coverage in a single day. The performance, which included the debut single Bad Habits from Sheeran's latest album, headlined the virtual music festivals iHeartRadio Wango Tango and Pandora Live: Ed Sheeran. Blackmagic Design today announced that an exclusive 10-track performance by Ed Sheeran was filmed by London based production agency Electric Light Studio (ELS), using a Blackmagic RAW workflow through acquisition to post.
