SHOW STARTS IN:
Season 1 of MEPOCHINO took place in ADA room of Mediapolis campus on 25th and 26th of April 2024. Three bands- Marikerttu, Aro and Lumina performed while the audience enjoyed great music with a cup of coffee.
In the pre production stage, the production team started to form. Three talented bands were chosen to perform from the music production study line, each one bringing their own unique sound and vibe to the different episodes. Behind the scenes, almost 30 students worked together to make the vision a reality. All the students aimed at crafting a one-of-a-kind experience that would embody the essence of media and arts. We needed to create an immersive atmosphere where acoustic performances and captivating visuals would take centre stage.
From audio engineers and visual designers to multicam operators, marketers, and project managers, every individual plays a crucial role in bringing our vision to life. Designers created the visual style for the event and crafted eye-catching illustrations to promote the event. Marketing team spread the word and started creating the content for the website and social media. Motion graphics for the event were designed. Set designers transformed the venue, while lighting and audio experts set the mood. Challenges were embraced, from making the event area and video walls work in innovative ways. Plan for the camera setup and recording had to take all these different parts into account.
Together a sense of excitement and the right kind of atmosphere started to form. Overall, almost 30 students from different backgrounds came together, united by their passion for music and art.
We all are excited as our final aim is coming closer. We are producing three captivating concerts, each lasting 15 to 20 minutes, with multicam production, over three consecutive event days. Following the concerts, the content will be shared via our YouTube channel throughout May.
The spirit of this project of the Music Cafe Mepochino has been that it is more than just a concert record; it is a celebration of collaboration and creativity. Students from different classes came together, each individual tasked with bringing their expertise to the table. This has been a great chance to develop further and gain useful experience. Conceived as a platform to showcase the skills of media and arts students, this project truly represents the future talents of content creation.
