While Air Bear Productions is a lean outfit, we take great pride in cultivating and maintaining good working relationships with other Content Creators in the DMV and across the country. This allows us to have a deep stable of professionals that we can tap for larger projects. For Chaos Theory we hired some of our most trusted peers to assist us in bringing this project to life. The professionals tasked with capturing these performances are:

- Ryan Plunkett - Director/ Camera A Operator

- Chris Allison - Camera B (Slider Cam) Operator

- Tim Orendorff - Camera C Operator

- Anthony Beard - Camera D Operator

- S. Mullen - Handheld Camera 1 Operator

- Oliver Hill - Handheld Camera 2 Operator

- Brad Price - Production Photographer

For live sound and lighting, we utilized Ram's Head On Stage's very own Adam McIntosh. Adam's knowledge of audio and recording, coupled with his familiarity with the venue's systems made him the obvious choice and an indispensable member of our crew.

To our knowledge, this is the world's first comedy special produced using Nikon Z Mirrorless Systems. We shot with a total of 6 cameras- each outfitted to perform the specific task it was assigned. These cameras worked flawlessly for our purposes and the footage was very easy to work with in post.

- Camera A- Nikon Z9 w/ Nikkor 70-200mm F2.8 S

- Camera B- Nikon Z50II w/ 16-50mm DX on a Zeapon slider.

- Camera C- Nikon Z8 w/ Nikkor 70- 180mm F2.8

- Camera D- Nikon Z9 w/ Nikkor 24-70mm F4 S

- Handheld 1- Nikon Z8 w/ Nikkor 24-70mm F2.8 S

- Handheld 2- Nikon Z6III w/ Nikkor 28-75mm F2.8

Audio was recorded using Rode mics on camera, on subject and boomed, as well as taking audio straight from the venue's sound board using a Zoom H4 recorder.

Production photos were shot with a Sony A7III and edited by Brad Price of Planet B Photography.

Timelapse Video was recorded using an Insta360 X4 which ran all night centered in front of the stage above the crowd.

The Director and half of our crew arrived on site at the venue at 2pm to begin initial preparations. At that time handheld camera rigs were built, tripods placed and we began coordinating with the venue.

By 4:00pm, all performers, the rest of our film crew and photographer were on site. After a short briefing about the order of events, we continued to set gear and proceed with sound check.

Just ahead of Doors at 4:30pm we held a final briefing, distributed and tested comms equipment, set white balance under show lighting conditions and triple checked all camera settings.

At 5:30pm the Director called for Doors and the early show crowd was seated.

The show began at 6:30pm with Doug Powell as the sole opening act. During his set, the Handheld Camera Operators prioritized crowd reactions, while the Static Operators filmed Mr. Powell's set. When Mr. Powell Concluded his set, he informed the crowd that there would be a short intermission while the crew reset.

Mr. Schlegel took the stage at 6:45pm and the show concluded at 7:45. The venue and crew then reset the stage and prepared for the late show, while Mr. Schlegel thanked and greeted his fans.

Doors for the Late show opened at 8:30pm and performers took the stage at 9:30, this time with two opening acts- Doug Powell and Sean Gabber. During the opening sets, the Handheld Camera Operators again prioritized crowd reactions, while the Static Operators performers.

After a short intermission, Mr. Schlegel Took the stage at 10pm and performed until 11pm.

After his set, it was requested that the crowd remain seated so that Mr. Schlegel and the crew could film some additional content.

The Late Show's crowd was released at 11:30pm and the Crew began to break down all production equipment while Mr. Schlegel greeted his guests and celebrated his accomplishments.

Half of the production crew and photographer was dismissed at midnight, while the remainder of the crew and Director finished packing equipment. Air Bear Productions departed the venue at 1:30am.
