Blink TV was the television production company, with Russell Thomas directing. CTV provided vision facilities with Bill Morris as OB unit manager. CTV produced a 13-camera shoot, recording onto 15 digital VTRs with a 30ft Super Technocrane, various aerial camera systems and a crew of over 50 on site. The show is Richmond's second recording for Kylie within a year - the last being at Hammersmith Odeon with a one-off concert performed specially for TV and DVD. This run of sold-out arena shows is being staged in Earl's Court 1 as the singer performs two hours of greatest hits from her first to the latest - all completely live.
Alington comments: "We've had the luxury of three nights here - Wednesday to soundcheck, Thursday to rehearse the mix, and then Friday to produce a straight-to-stereo mix for broadcast on Channel 4 on Saturday. "I'm working very closely with Steve Anderson, Kylie's musical director of many years, and also with the band leader/drummer, Andrew Small; the same team as on the last show we recorded for her."
