5. Cherry Pit
Cherry Pit Mini Docs show the behind the scenes of rehearsals and planning of the Volumes 3-6 Cherry Pit shows. The silent docs were played on a loop in the performance space before the 2023 season finale performances.
The Cherry Pit is a collective of musicians and artists based in Minneapolis, MN. In the fall of 2022 to spring 2023, The Cherry Pit team organized and produced 8 live concert and jam session experiences. Each show featured a new band made up of local artists brought together specifically for the show. In the month leading up to the show band members rehearsed, learned each others’ songs, and constructed a set list for the show. The production team worked to locate a venue, organize photo shoots, design flyers and advertising material, and build a new experience for the audience.
Anna served as the manager and head of the videography team from the fall of 2022 into the spring 2023. Her roles included identifying and managing videography and post production needs for each show, managing footage organization and storage, and designing and executing a strategy for video coverage of each performance, as well as managerial roles.
The season finale show is one of Anna’s proudest achievements while working with the Cherry Pit. Inspired by Dijon’s film “Absolutely”, she aimed to find a way to eliminate the barrier between the band and the audience. By running three cameras through a live feed to 4 projectors, the audience was able to experience the show live from multiple angles. This gave the audience the option to watch the musicians on stage or on the walls, all while experiencing the music live.
