At Bumbershoot 2011, Punch Drunk provided live IMAG camera mixing, VJing, motion graphic design, and production for the main stage.

Overview

Bumbershoot is a three-day music festival in Seattle, the largest music festival in the city. This celebration of international music and art was amplified with Punch Drunk's live iMag (live camera) production and mixing for the main stage.

This was in the era of standard definition 4:3 video, a delicate time before HD became the defacto standard resolution of broadcast and live events. 

During Bumbershoot 2011, Punch Drunk ran the show for a dozen high-caliber artists.
