A note on video and audio in livestream performances:
Video is captured via an HD single camera, as though you’re seated with us in the audience. The sound for The Twunny Fo’ is captured live from overstage microphones. You’ll hear the sound design, the actors, and the audience as they exist in the theatre. Covid safety protocols require our ventilation system to be running for the duration of the show, which means there is a constant rumble of background noise very close to our microphones. Through the magic of technology, we process the audio in real time in order to reduce the impact of that air handling noise. This can result in audio that sounds a little “tinny.” We work to balance our sound to provide the best possible experience, but it will be inherently different than you might expect from a big budget film or television show. We’re continuously experimenting to improve the quality of the livestream with the resources we have available. Our goal is to someday be able to offer live captioning, but it is, unfortunately, cost prohibitive at this time. Even with these constraints, we hope that you’ll enjoy the experience of joining us digitally!
