When Martin Garrix & Maejor released their first album as the music duo "Area21", the NOMOBO Team was there to capture the very first live performance of the iconic duo.
We worked on the creative concept and capture of this first-ever live performance that's available on streaming platform: Disney+.
Recording At Speed with the Highest Quality - A Whole Album in 3 Days
The live performance took place at: 'Het Sportpaleis' in Antwerp, where the stage and set was installed in only 2 days - designed by the legendary Romain Pissenem, owner of Highscream. While we captured the performance only in 1 single day - with the Director of camera plan, Jon Robbers and Creative Director, Remco Evers.
In Only 3 Days
The Set and Recording has been done for the Whole Album.

Cinematic Vision and Creative Development
Camera Set Up and Stage Design
The unique stage design gave a special, unearthly feel to the performance, however, it also proven to be a challenge for the live performance capture. As the stage was elevated, it was hard to be at the same level with the artists. To bridge this gap, we used telescopic cranes and this enabled us to not only be at an appropriate height but also made the camera movement more dynamic.
The show was recorded using:
- 4x Arri Amira cameras,
- 2x technocrane 50s
- and 1x FPV drone.
Innovative Solutions
As for every project, we brought our high-quality cinematic approach. As an innovative solution for live performance capture back then, we made a bold choice and used Arri Amiras and an FPV drone for the live show recording, that proven to deliver the unique NOMOBO cinematic style.
Every song had been shot from 10 - 12 different angles, even though, we only had 5 cameras at hand. The teams dynamic production made it possible to adjust the angles and deliver a lot more for the edit team, increasing the quality of the end product.
"I love the collaboration with NOMOBO. We go way back and I’m quite surprised they are not tired of me yet, because I love going to the edit room, sitting next to them, always making it better…
I might have even asked NOMOBO to make an editing studio in my house!"
Meeting Requirements: Streaming platform, Disney+'s and Performer's
"A project like this is what really brings the best out of everybody at NOMOBO. I’m proud of our team that worked so hard on every detail of this recording and very thankful to Martijn, Maejor, Romain and the rest of the team for the collaboration and trust."
- As our very own EVP of Content Strategy, Remco Evers says, the NOMOBO Team loves a challenge that requires everyone to push their boundaries.
Seamless and Adjustable Editing Process
Right away, on premises, we created a line edit to make the editing process even more seamless afterwards. During post-production, we followed and listened to our client's, Martin's wishes and through a very close collaboration process between him and our edit and creative teams, we created the final version together.
The NOMOBO Team is always happy to listen to client's needs and wishes, in this particular case we paid close attention to 2 major factors: Martin Garrix's artistic vision and Disney+'s streaming requirements. As the final result: we managed to capture a first-ever live performance and create an engaging concept for Disney+'s viewers.
