Yesterday, we took a small crew of Dakar apprentices to The Heaven Studio in Tarzana, in the same complex as the ledgendary Can Am Studio to bring a wild idea to life — The Heaven Set… or Sent? This was the first in a planned series of on-the-job training laboratories for Dakar Live Programming to provide real-world, real-industry experience for their social media networks to consume their collaboration.
Recorded live in a single take and streamed in real time to our test channel, Dakarlive.org, the production used StreamYard software along with Komodo X and V-Raptor X cameras to capture a short documentary feel. The session was engineered by apprentice Santos, who also manages Heaven Studio and generously let us take over the space to “cook” — blending creativity, tech, and teamwork into something unforgettable.
Yesterday’s jam session at Heaven Sent was a perfect collision of vibes — think Tiny Desk soulfulness, wrapped in cinematic polish, broadcast in real time. The space buzzed like a creative nerve center, where Red Camera precision met StreamYard’s fast-channel magic, letting the world drop in as if they were in the front row.
The soundtrack to the scene?
Live grooves poured from Koncept and The Soul Seekers, filling the air with raw, heart-first music. Between each riff, you could feel the chemistry — musicians feeding off the room, the room feeding off the tech, and the tech feeding the stream.
Behind the lens and boards:
The Dakar production crew ran the show like a jazz ensemble in their own right — Sunny, Emi, Brenna, Kevin A., Koncept, CJ, and our gracious host, Heaven’s General Manager Santos, weaving camera cues, lighting magic, and stream sync into a seamless, living broadcast.
From the warm glow of stage lights bouncing off brass hardware to the crisp depth of the Red’s anamorphic glass, every frame told a story. The real-time stream meant no do-overs — just pure, unfiltered performance energy piped straight to the audience.
Heaven Sent isn’t just a location; it’s was a feeling — a place where an intimate performance collided with world-class production, and the result was something you can’t just watch… you have to feel live and in cinematic capture and post-production.
