@lesyork7 The caller is the stage manager, and lesyork, it is correct. I'm a soundie, SM, conductor and orchestrator. The stage manager should be able to see the keys as well as if the MD is using video for conducting instruments off stage that don't fit in the pit. On MD cam it is essential the their hands and head are always in view.
Bad MD cam set up. If the MD is playing Keys, the camera should be able to see the keys as well, so the caller and other musicians can see the beat on the keys.
@murdoch1818 I'm sorry, but where did you learn that? If the musicians or caller (I assume you mean SM) need to see beats, a piano-conductor gives it with a head nod or hand cues, as Lon clearly does. Cams are almost exclusively a front-agle view of the conductor's torso or piano-conductor's head. Some shows have a side angle (i.e. current "On A Clear Day") due to the stage set-up. Nothing to do with the keys.
@RyanEdwardWise Rule we go by in Australia. Our cams are all front on with a wide lens that is able to have the keys at the bottom of the picture. Some MDs don't have good techniques when it comes to head nods and is hard for the caller to read. Specific cues are taken off the first key pressed in a song which the caller can not see in this instance.
do you have this full vid? i'm doing the show right now and this would be a great asset!
