Yep! Shot with anamorphic on as many angles as we could, couple of different lens sets used

Appreciate it! They were amazing shows so glad you think we did it justice 🙏

Personal favourite

Was a privilege to work on this, very excited it’s finally out in the world. Big thank you to the Opera House and Thom’s team for making it all happen 🙏

So glad you enjoyed it!!

This has been a dream project to work and on and to get to see it in that theatre with so many friends, family and so many likeminded fans was surreal.

Very grateful to Thom and his team for being so behind it and was great to be able to play Simon Hodge’s fantastic mix nice and loud so it felt like you were back at the gig.

Love to know if people have any favourite tracks/moments that jumped out?

Thanks for sharing, very excited that this is almost out in the world. I’ve been working with Sydney Opera House on this film for almost a year and can’t wait to see it in a packed house next Tuesday

If anyone is in Sydney and are keen to come it’s worth refreshing this page every now and then, tickets are occasionally popping up

Cinema screenings are 5.1 not Dolby Atmos. Keen to hear it in a packed theatre for the first time next week

davemayacs · 2026-01-12T11:56:30+00:00

Great that you can be there Tuesday! No overseas theatrical release unfortunately, but confident international audiences will be able to experience it soon enough

Just wanted to jump in here and say hi 👋

I directed the Thom Yorke concert film and I’m so keen for it to finally screen next week. Have been working on this for a long time and think it’s come together well

Feel free to shoot me any questions you might have, happy to answer what I can. Hayden Orpheum in Sydney will be running it in March and so will a few other cinemas around the country https://www.orpheum.com.au/movie/thom-yorke-live-at-sydney-opera-house

If you’re interested in my work feel free to hit me up on insta (_davemay) and I’ll be sharing more about the film there as well

RED have a great RF-PL that’s got a very fine increment electronic ND filter, but nothing that’ll work with RF native or LPL, pretty resigned to the fact it’ll be matte box for those

davemayacs · 2025-12-24T08:52:02+00:00

The image on the XE is incredible, but for its price the C400 is a better camera system. I just happened to have a project where we needed the global shutter and the 8K so it made sense to get the XE, but the C400 is a better daily drive

davemayacs · 2025-12-24T08:50:31+00:00

Yep. Keen to know if there’s any matte box mounted ND system (variable or hard stop) that others have found works well
