Placing a TV studio like set on the Outdoor Theatre stage was the ambition for Parcels return to Coachella. This time as a huge team effort and with a full fledged production.
Arranged on a sleek looking riser structure, the band was surrounded by classic studio elements. Scenic lighting on chrome stands on the floor, softboxes hung from the ceiling and as the main attraction an overhead kinetic grid consisting of 120 fixtures helped to level up the bands performance.
Beside being part of the scenic design, two camera dollies on tracks, as well as Jeans handheld camera delivered stunning footage, ranging from cinematic shots to raw and intimate moments.
