Beyonce Knowles is gearing up for her first live performances since the birth of Blue Ivy at a four night stay slot from May 25-28th at Atlantic City’s Revel Resort. In true Beyonce fashion, the R&B singer takes us backstage in a documentary series through the video below and demonstrates the amount of work and precision that goes into planning a live show.

In part one of this documentary series, the main focus stays on the lighting portion of the show. LED light struggles, mapping out the lights, and choosing which screens will be presented at the stay are all featured. We even get to see a modestly-frustrated Beyonce holding up pictures and proclaiming “this is why I didn’t get any sleep last night!” through a cheeky smile.

A great watch, indeed. We’ll update you with part two.
