Disney+/Hulu Festival Editorial

Disney+ and Hulu stream a full show from the festival grounds while the festival itself is happening.

Hosts interview live. Two to four field crews work the site shooting short documentaries, interviews and whatever else they find. Jeremy Clevenger and Brad Jones sit in a trailer on the grounds and turn that footage into finished featurettes, cutting on laptops, with Shane Bissett supervising post.

Each morning we are given a number of minutes to fill - finished, approved, story-driven content, against deadlines that land through the day.

Some pieces are scripted and planned. Some are a pile of footage and nothing else, and we make something out of it.

Every piece clears our producers, then the festival’s producers, then Disney on the larger ones. Then it airs. Often there are only a few hours between footage arriving and going out.

Two editors working that fast cannot spend the day passing project files back and forth, so we built the workflow around one shared project.

It runs on DaVinci Resolve’s cloud services. Footage gets logged as it lands. Either editor can jump into the other’s timeline. Storage and project data stay central. Nothing about it is flashy, but it is the reason a piece can go from camera to air in a couple of hours.

Bonnaroo led to Lollapalooza. Lollapalooza led to ACL. Same companies, same end client, inside one year.
