Lollapalooza Videos

Lollapalooza strictly enforces a policy forbidding fans to bring professional calibre recording equipment (photo, audio, and video and audio), but does allow the use of simple cameras and phones to capture photos and video footage. During and after each year's festival, YouTube gains hundreds of Lollapalooza videos as fans upload video snapshots of the event. Many professionally shot videos also find their way into the YouTube library, as bands share footage from their performances and news outlets who attended with press credentials post their documentation of the event. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lollapalooza+

Lollapalooza Documentaries

Last year's festival was filmed in 3-D, and selected footage was shared in an exclusive HD feature on FUSE TV. Plans for a 3-D Lollapalooza documentary were unveiled in a Chicago Sun-Times feature shortly after the event, but no release date has yet been given. http://consequenceofsound.net/2009/08/12/lollapalooza-3d-film-coming-soon/

In 2006, Perry Farell commissioned Ondi Timoner (director of the award-winning "We Live in Public" and "Dig") and Interloper Films to document Lollapalooza from 2005 through 2007 and begin working on a feature film about the festival. A release date for the project has not been announced. On his promotional website, cinematographer Vasco Nunes offers a bit of insider info: "The multicamera shoot, with 4 verite crews, plus multiple self contained operators in the live music shows, along with a two camera setup in a trailer for interviews with Timoner rounded out the coverage that lead to 100s of hrs of material. The coverage, and a collection of archival material to be harvested - Lollapalooza, a feature-length film about the history of alternative music, politics and culture from 1990 through 2008 through the experience of America’s first touring festival would be told. 2007 was the last year of documentation with the feature project on hold, the amassed material was over 500 hrs." http://vasco.fm/tag/lollapalooza http://amanaplanacamera.com/Lollapalooza.html
