In this episode of Making Pictures, director and DP Dan Broadley breaks down “postcards” – the slow, static, documentary-style portrait shots he adopted while covering the Oasis reunion tour, and how they transformed the entire approach to tour content and recap filmmaking.
Dan explains how the format was born out of necessity, scouting crowds for genuine, unscripted human moments. Why patience and restraint made the postcards stand out against the normal fast-paced tour recaps, and how the format grew popular enough that Noel and Liam Gallagher themselves started asking for it after the shows. This is a deep dive into documentary-style content capturing, live music visual storytelling and tour content strategy. For the filmmakers, DPs, content creators, and anyone working in music, tour visuals, or documentary filmmaking.
Making Pictures talks to the people behind the images.
