Total Production International

Whilst researching into concert visuals i came across Total Production International which is a magazine that documents the design and technology that goes into live events including concerts. A full synopsis follows:

"Total Production International

the design and technology of concert productions, theatre shows and temporary events.

The sites production profile articles feature bands such as Coldplay, Massive Attack and Fleetwood Mac. These articles profile their live shows and talk about many aspects of a live concert or gig including technology and how much prep is needed for the show to work. With further research and reading through the profiles I think this publication will come in handy and give me more knowledge that will aide my major project.
