The request for a noir look came because the studio photographer who photographed Meredith for her publicity and website used noir-ish lighting for the photos, and the look suited. “And her voice, along with the sound of violin, bass and guitar …” “That day in the studio was absolutely special,” says studio crew member Asia Dubarenka. (That show is now produced by Eitan Fenson.) “I knew most of the crew members personally,” he adds, “It felt like family.” Robert produced and directed the monthly Indivisible show, with discussions by members of the Indivisible political movement, throughout 2017. “Working with the Media Center over the past year convinced me that this was the group to work with,” he says. Robert Edgar (yes, related!) produced the show. It was as comfortable as it possibly could have been.” “I didn’t realize what a big production it was going to be.” But: “Everyone was friendly and helpful and hardworking and generous. More information is at “I didn’t know what to expect,” says Meredith. You can see the results in the photos here.Īnd that band? That’d be the Meredith Edgar Trio-there are four of them, but they haven’t figured out a better name-which plays music Meredith characterizes as a “blend of folk and jazz and Americana.” The music was “amazing,” writes studio crewmember Cathy Keys, “The band worked together with precision, talent and a lightness of flow. And the noir atmosphere created by a fog machine added a nuanced mystery to the music.” The trio plays regular gigs in the Bay Area. We positioned the band to make it easier to light them from the side, put in lots of back light, and brought in our fog machine to enhance the mood. So studio tech Andrew Chen rolled up his sleeves, read up on film-noir, and lit the band in film-noir style. We pride ourselves on doing good, interesting lighting (and sound) on all of our studio shows, but we got a new request this month for a music shoot: “Can we look to give the group film-noir-style lighting?”
