The John Driskell Hopkins Band Uses Blackmagic Design

PostMon Jul 19, 2021 4:21 pm

Blackmagic Design today announced that The John Driskell Hopkins Band’s “Lonesome High” album was recently launched via a live streamed concert using its Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pros and ATEM Mini Extreme ISO live production switcher. Fans from around the world tuned in to watch John Driskell Hopkins, a founding member, vocalist, instrumentalist and songwriter for the Grammy Award winning group Zac Brown Band, return to his rock roots with a six piece band.

In 1996, Hopkins founded Brighter Shade Studios, a private recording studio in Atlanta, GA, where he works on a variety of projects in between live performances. Numerous Zac Brown Band songs were recorded there, and since the COVID-19 pandemic began, Hopkins has been live streaming from the studio as a way to continue performing and keep fans engaged.

“It was imperative that we find a way to stay connected to fans, and live streaming was the answer,” Hopkins explained. “I wanted to do it right, so I needed gear that was easy to use but still produced a professional stream. We started with Pocket Cinema Camera 6Ks and an ATEM Mini Pro ISO and were impressed with the quality of the camera’s images and how easy the switcher was to use.”
