Spin Off Festival
project overview
Overview
Spin Off 2024 is South Australia’s most beloved mid-year music festival, renowned for its eclectic lineup of international sensations and Aussie homegrown heroes. For its 7th edition, the festival introduced the Sound Archive stage, featuring heavy-weight electronic acts, alongside the main stage performances. Our mission was to capture high-quality video and photo content that would be utilised for marketing, promotional materials, and archival purposes, encapsulating the essence of the festival.
