Bare: A Pop Opera	Off Broadway	American Theatre of Actors, NY, USA	17/4/04	Cam	9.9		DVD
	Tech Details: NTSC, 704x480, AC3, 120mins, Comments: Single camera filming straight on from the back of the theatre with a perfect view of the stage and some great close ups. Picture does has some break up from the compression. Sound is soundboard with little audience but mostly through the right channel. There are a couple of tiny breaks in the media though. Early in the run, there are differences in the lyrics to the final performance from the same run. The performances are just perfect. Cast (best guess): John Hill as Jason, Michael Arden as Peter, Jenna Leigh Green as Ivy, Natalie Joy Johnson as Nadia, Kaitlin Hopkins as Claire, Aaron Lohr as Matt, Jim Price as Priest, Romelda Benjamin as Sister Chantelle Song Listing: Act One Epiphany, You And I, Role of a Lifetime, Auditions, Wonderland, A Quiet Night at Home, Rolling, Best Kept Secret, Confession, Portrait of a Girl, Birthday, Bitch, One Kiss, Are You There, 911 Emergency!, Reputation Stained, Ever After, Spring [cut], One [interval music] Act Two: Wedding Bells, See Me, Warning, Touch My Soul, God Don't Make No Trash, All Grown Up, Promise, Cross, Once Upon a Time, Two Households, Bare, Queen Mab, A Glooming Peace, Absolution, No Voice, --curtain calls/Playout--

	Tech Details: NTSC, Full screen / 4:3, Dolby Digital, 117 mins, Chapters every 15 mins, No Menus Comments: Single camera filming more or less straight on from the back of the theatre.

Bare	Indianapolis	Wheeler Center, Fountain Square, Indianapolis, US	--/7/08	Pro	10		DVD
	Tech Details: NTSC, Full screen / 4:3, Dolby Digital, 127 mins, Song Chapters, YES, Comments: Full show downloaded from You tube in high quality MP4 files which were later given the basic author treatment to turn into a DVD that also includes the original MP4 files (36 files totaling 434mb) as well as: Vassar Collage - Bare (AVI) Each of the original files became a title on the DVD, so there can be a very slight pause between them.Disc was made in 'data' format but will perform as a regular Video DVD on most players. Performed in a small space with the audience on three sides with limited scenery but a VERY good cast. That perfectly capture the power of the show. Picture is near perfect, although not always as sharp as it could be Sound is perfect though other then when microphones aren't on. Cast: Justin Ivan Brown as Jason, Brian Benson as Peter, Alicia Paynter as Ivy, April Armstrong as Nadia, David Ross as Matt, JT Whitmer as Lucas, Christina Humphery as Tanya, Brion Monroe as Zack, Briana Walker as Kyra, Linda Heiden as Rory, Andrew Elliot as Alan, Susie Mohr as Diane Lee, Jorie Johnson as Sister Chantelle, Juli Inskeep as Claire, John Phillips as Priest Track Listing Act One Epiphany, You and I, Role of a Lifetime, Auditions, Plain Jane Fat Ass, Wonderland, A Quiet Night at Home, Rolling, Best Kept Secret, Confession, Portrait of a Girl, Birthday Bitch!, One Kiss, Are You There?, 911 Emergency!, Reputation Stain’d, Ever After, Spring, One Act Two Wedding Bells, Touch My Soul, See Me, Warning, Pilgrim’s Hands, God Don’t Make No Trash., All Grown Up, Promise, Once Upon a Time, Cross, Two Households, Bare, Queen Mabe, A Glooming Peace, Absolution, No Voice

Bare: [rehearsal]	Pandora Productions	Louisville, KY, USA	2012	Pro	9.5	--	MP4
	Tech: NTSC, 19201080, AAC, 117mins, 3.3gb Comments: Single camera filming direct on to the stage. Ripped from youtube, in full 1080p HD. It's the final rehearsal, so the show is almost perfect, but the lack of an audience removes some interaction. Some great, perfect performances, but also some that aren't quite down yet.

	Taper: BWAYTRADER Lineage: Recorded in Super High Quality mode (320 kbps) with an Idam PRO9 digital recorder Comments: This is the reworked version, with changes to songs, and most noticeably to characters, with 'Nadia' no longer fat, and now the drug dealer, while Peter & Jason are no longer room-mates, and losing Peter's mother completely. Sound is great and the audience is really enjoying it. Cast: Taylor Trensch as Peter, Jason Hite as Jason, Elizabeth Judd as Ivy, Gerard Canonico as Matt, Jerold E.

	Tech: NTSC, H264, 848x480, AAC, 51+45+47mins Comments: Single camera filming from the back, slightly to the right side of the stage. Some heads in the bottom of the screen on wide shots, but some great close ups. Sound is slightly muted, with a touch of distortion during the rave. Performed in the original format, on a small stage, with the band at the back for a three week run with little in the way of costumes or scenery, but it's still brilliant, due to great performances. Cast: Payson Lewis as Peter, Jonah Platt as Jason, Lindsay Pearce as Ivy, Katie Stevens as Nadia, Stephanie Andersen as Sister Chantelle, John Griffin as Priest, Nathan Parrett as Matt, Casey Hayden as Lucas, Caitlin Ary as Tanya, Reesa Ishiyama as Diane, Alissa-Nicole Koblentz as Claire, Harrison Meloeny as Alan, Christopher Higgins as Zack, Katherine Washington as Kyra, Kelsey Hainlen as Rory Songs: Act One Epiphany, You and I, Role of a Lifetime, Auditions, Plain Jane Fat Ass, Wonderland, A Quiet Night at Home, Rolling, Best Kept Secret, Confession, Portrait of a Girl, Birthday Bitch!, One Kiss, Are You There?, 911 Emergency!, Reputation Stain’d, Ever After, Spring, One Act Two Wedding Bells, Touch My Soul, See Me, Warning, Pilgrim’s Hands, God Don’t Make No Trash., All Grown Up, Promise, Once Upon a Time, Cross, Two Households, Bare, Queen Mabe, A Glooming Peace, Absolution, No Voice

	*Tech: NTSC, 720480, AC3, Song Chapters, 75mins Comments: Single camera filming from the right of the small club so the tiny stage is always slightly side on. Good clear picture and sound, but some heads in the bottom of shot as are the multiple mike stands plus the stage is very busy as all the actors share it with the band. However, despite all that this is BRILLIANT. Various cast members from the different productions taking turns, as well as together, singing the songs from a shortened version of the show, both together.
