Development and release

The 94-minute recording was directed by Mark Lucas, and was produced by John Rubey and Michael A. Blum.^[2] During the concert, Daniel Jorgensen performed guitar and synth, Breanne Düren performed keyboards, synth and sang backing vocals, Laura Musten performed violin, Hannah Schroeder performed cello and bass guitar and Casey Brown performed drums.^[2] Speaking about the DVD with Billboard, Young stated;

"The video actually was kind of a spur of the moment thing. My manager said to me that the live show had come so far from where I initially began, which of course was just me and a laptop — the most boring show in the world! It came into it's [sic] own and became a cinematic sort of experience. So he said, 'Why don't we get a film crew and capture it. It would be kind of a shame to have this great show put together and not have anything to remember it by after the tour was over.' So we did it, and it really worked out great. I'm really glad we have the show preserved."^[3]

Owl City: Live From Los Angeles includes footage of live performances of the concert, behind the scenes footage and exclusive interviews.^[1] The DVD was available for pre-order on November 29, 2011. The video album was released digitally on iTunes on December 6, 2011, in North America before it was released worldwide on DVD and Blu-ray on February 7, 2012.^[1]

Live From Los Angeles was met with mixed to positive reviews. Scott Fryberger of Jesus Freak Hideout gave a positive review calling the concert a "stellar live show." He also praised Owl City's touring musicians for their versatility and was impressed by their drummer Casey Brown. He ended off remarking, "All in all, this is a terrific DVD."^[4] George Lang of The Oklahoman gave a mixed review. He praised the song "Fireflies" for its "visceral arrangement" and "Galaxies" as the apex point of the DVD. However, he was critical of the visual execution of the DVD stating, "the camerawork is nearly devoid of style, providing little more than a front-row seat balanced with audience views."^[5]
