We worked with ERIC & THE CLAPTONES, capturing their live performance using a 4-camera setup for dynamic, high-quality footage. This multi-angle recording enhanced their digital presence, serving their website and social media. Their rendition of “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” was a standout moment.
ERIC & THE CLAPTONES, a talented group dedicated to capturing the spirit and music of Eric Clapton reached out to us to record one of their live stage performances, which promised to be an electrifying event full of classic rock hits. Our goal was to deliver a high-quality multi-camera recording that would enhance their digital presence, serving both their website and social media platforms.
4 – Camera Setup
The band specifically requested a 4-camera setup, allowing for a dynamic and comprehensive capture of their live performance from multiple angles. This approach ensured that viewers would not only see the band from various perspectives but also feel immersed in the show’s energy. The challenge was to offer this multi-camera package at an affordable price, making it accessible to the band without compromising on quality.
Old Barn Theatre – Oxted
For the event, we strategically positioned the four cameras to cover every critical aspect of the performance:
Front-centre camera – This main camera captured the full band in a wide shot, ensuring the audience could take in the entire performance at once. It provided a stable, central view of the band, highlighting key moments when the whole group was playing together.
Close-up camera on drummer – we placed a second camera in close proximity to the Drummer this angle allowed capturing the soul and beat of the performance.
Side-stage camera – To add variety and dynamism, we positioned a third camera off to the side of the stage. This camera focused on the interaction between band members, providing an interesting angle of the bassist, drummer, and rhythm guitarist. It gave viewers a sense of the band’s chemistry and unity, which is crucial for any tribute band recreating the synergy of the original artist.
Crowd and atmosphere camera – Finally, the fourth camera was dedicated to capturing the atmosphere on stage and capturing special moments with the band on stage. This angle really helped to add energy to the video.
Working with a local tribute band like ERIC & THE CLAPTONES was a delightful departure from the norm. Their vibrant posters adorned every available surface, creating a buzz around the upcoming gig. The whole experience felt surreal as if we had stepped into a different world.

Once the performance was recorded, we moved on to the post-production phase. We edited the footage to create a polished final product, ensuring smooth transitions between angles and capturing the essence of the band’s tribute to Eric Clapton. The team worked closely with the band to understand which moments were most important to highlight and how they envisioned the final cut.
The footage will serve as a foundation for ERIC & THE CLAPTONES’ new website and will also be repurposed for their social media content. A tribute band like this thrives on engaging with their fans, and having high-quality, multi-angle video content is crucial for building a strong online presence. The recorded performance will help them showcase their talents, attract new fans, and book future gigs.
One of the standout moments from the recording session was their cover of “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door“, a song that holds a special place in the rock canon. The band’s rendition was heartfelt, and the multi-camera setup allowed us to capture the emotion of the performance beautifully. From the sweeping guitar solos to the crowd’s response, the footage from this song is a perfect example of the high-quality content we produced.
In conclusion, working with ERIC & THE CLAPTONES was a rewarding experience. We delivered a 4-camera recording package that not only captured their live performance but will also help propel their digital presence forward. We look forward to seeing how the footage enhances their online engagement and brings them closer to their audience.
