NIKSE. DEBUT CONCERT

Produce an IRL solo concert for a singer/songwriter Nikse based on her dark pop and theatrical aesthetic.

First ever filmed solo concert at Mistečko for Nikse. Also my first experience of producing an event for somebody else:)

During ideation sessions, we followed Nikse's lead while helping to make the ideas more structured and clear since her brain races at the speed of 100km/h.

From many set design/event vibe references provided by Nikse,

we've chosen these 2 as a base for the visual feel:

After finalising the concept of "cozy solo concert that feels like you're in a friend's living room," we've moved onto advertising the event one month before the date. We've focused on producing a few teaser Reels since that format gets the most organic reach and engagement and also shows Nikse's performance vibe the best.

The day before the event, we spent several hours trying out different light setups - from trying two main lights, trying out colder and warmer tones, different light filters, to simplifying the setup altogether. In the end, we landed on a setup that combines the theatrics and warmth of Nikse's vibe as a performer and as a person.

Nikse wanted to add something to her portfolio that she can show off to potential collaborators or submit to singing competitions, so we've recorded the whole concert as one angle and then I've edited it into 3 YouTube videos.

Stating attendance numbers or follows to Nikse socials after the event won't represent how great the event turned out. People cheering & clapping loudly, and singing along to every song - that's what made it a success :)
