JV Studios teams up with Lyrical Lemonade & SPKRBX Presents for a fourth year to capture the 2022 Summer Smash Music Festival, located in Douglas Park, Chicago. Summer Smash Festival is the major independent hip-hop music festival here in the heart of the Midwest. The festival aims to promote upcoming artists and give the fans a festival experience like never before. This year’s headliners included artists Post Malone, Wiz Khalifa, Playboi Carti, Lil Uzi Vert, and many more.
BEHIND THE LENS
It would not be possible for us to capture a festival of this size without a team working hard behind the scenes. This year, our media team consisted of a 16-person video crew that all contributed to the capturing of this year’s Summer Smash Music Festival official recap video. From producers and directors to camera ops and drone ops, we brought out all the camera toys this year!
Go behind the scenes and see firsthand what it is like to work in the music industry, see how our team captures an event of this size, and how we have fun doing so!
