Execution
A Behind the Scenes Mini Doc That Spotlighted the Crew, the Craft, and the Scale Behind a World-Class Show
Client:
Live Nation / LINKIN PARK
Project:
Behind the Scenes Documentary + Social Assets
The Goal
Create a piece that goes beyond the band and honors the people who make the experience possible. Behind The Crown was built to spotlight the touring family: the coordination, precision, and teamwork required to bring a major LINKIN PARK production to life. YouTube+1
The Challenge
Behind the scenes content can easily feel like random coverage. This needed to feel human and cinematic while still communicating the scale and complexity of a world-class touring operation, without losing momentum for social audiences.
Our Approach
- 1) Story first doc structure
- We shaped the piece around the people and process capturing the emotional reality of building a show: preparation, pressure, pride, and payoff.
- 2) Cinematic texture + real moments
- We focused on authentic interactions, working hands, and “in the shadows” moments that fans rarely see turning logistics into story.
- 3) Social ready capture
- Every sequence was shot with modular outputs in mind, making it easy to spin key moments into short form edits that extend reach and keep the narrative moving across platforms.
What We Delivered
- Hero Mini-Doc (long-form story piece)
- Social Cutdowns (vertical + platform optimized selects)
- Additional SFX + VFX polish for premium finish and replay value
The Outcome
A behind-the-scenes feature released via Live Nation that highlights the tour crew and the massive coordination behind the show, crafted as a story fans can feel, not just watch.
