About Sean smith

Picture
​​​Sean Smith is a concert & event production professional, with over 10 years of experience in his field. A graduate from the School of Visual Arts in New York City, with a bachelor’s fine art degree in cinematography, Sean began his professional career in the music industry at Brooklyn Bowl. Sean held positions around the venue, including Box Office Manager and Assistant to the A/V Director. It was in this assistant role that Sean gravitated towards robotic cameras and video switchers. 
​
In 2015, Sean joined the crew of Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, providing his well rounded skill to fill several duties for the band. What began as a video archivist role, blossomed into a Live Stream Director & Producer role, which saw Sean produce hundreds of live streamed concerts from across the United States. Sean utilized robotic camera systems to create dynamic, creative video for Pay-Per-View consumption.

In 2016, Sean expanded his reach to The Capitol Theatre, a historic 'Rock Palace' located in Port Chester, NY. While employed there, he had the opportunity to work with top tier touring musicians, including Alice Cooper, Jeff Beck, Buddy Guy, Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Flight of the Choncords, and many others. 

in 2019, following several years on the road with Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, Sean began to work with other touring acts and larger scale festivals. One such artist was the band Phish. On those show dates with Phish, Sean also worked at Bonnaroo Music Festival. Working at such a high level festival opened up a realm of new clients in various styles of music.

In 2020 during the pandemic, Sean collaborated on the “Beacon Jams” series of livestreams featuring Trey Anastasio of Phish and a revolving cast of musicians each week. During that downturn in the industry, Sean continued to help other artists reach their audiences in unique ways.

Sean joined the team at Gateway Studios and Production Services in June 2021, relocating to St. Louis, Missouri. At the time, the company was new to the market, and provides 360 degree rental services (Audio, Lighting, Video, LED) to the music and event production industry. Currently, Sean tours full time with Phish as the Robotic Camera Technician. In late summer of 2022, Sean collaborated with ODESZA as their IMAG Director. Fall of 2022, Sean was a part of the crew for the Trey Anastasio Band & Goose Tour.
