The Isle Of Wight Festival 2008
Who needs Ibiza when the sun always shines on England’s very own ‘wight isle’… Once again we got a red hot welcome to our fifth year of shooting the Isle of Wight Festival.
What’s new this year? In addition to a great line up, we had a second stage, Lauren Laverne presenting, ITV as the broadcasters of the festival, with BT as the new headline sponsors. ITV2 broadcast three 60 minute shows over the festival weekend, the last three tracks of each headline performance going out live to air. In addition ITV1 broadcast a 30 minute highlights show. In all over 650,000 viewers tuned in.
Headliners this year were The Police, The Sex Pistols and the Kaiser Chiefs, plus Ian Brown, Iggy and the Stooges, The Kooks, Starsailor, NERD, The Enemy and The Zutons.
Complementing the multicamera performance footage we set out to capture the spirit of the festival with a combination of Lauren’s artist interviews together with humerous packages, presented by Matt Edmondson, shot around the festival site and out and about on the Island.
