how it works
Start by reaching out to our team below — we'll set up a 1:1 meeting with you to learn more about your event and your vision.
Packages are quoted on a case-by-case basis, and require at least two technicians on-site in most cases (live sound + stream director/camera operator). Most livestreams can be broken into one of the following categories:
- VIRTUAL: up to eight guests on the live-stream (unlimited viewers), all broadcasting from separate locations on their own devices. Remote audio and video managed by our crew, with attendees managed virtually by our team via our collaborative web-based streaming software. Stream design and basic show elements included (ie. title cards, name plates, transitions); stream can include combination of live and pre-recorded content.
- LIVE: fully live, "in-studio" livestream with up to eight individual camera angles, with live audio capture, lighting, and operators. Live sound and cameras managed by our crew and Stream Director; stream design and show elements included (title cards, name plates, logos, transitions, music sequences). Stream can include combination of live and pre-recorded content. No studio audience.
- LIVE WITH AUDIENCE: all of the above, with the addition of separate live sound and lighting for in-person audience; note that these events will require double the crew, as both the broadcast and live event will require their own technicians working side-by-side.
- HYBRID: a unique combination of live and virtual broadcast, where some attendees join in-person on camera, while others join virtually.
- Up to eight simultaneous camera angles with individual recording upon request, H264 1080p per channel, and full stream recording in broadcast quality
- Simultaneous broadcast to YouTube, Twitter, Twitch, LinkedIn, and any other service with an accessible RTMP server (eg. Hopin)
- Custom branded show elements (overlays, lower thirds, logos, etc.)
- Creative or commercial styles — standard, clean transitions, or live-greenscreening, keying, wipe transitions, etc.
- Live chat with stream attendees, based on the destination platform
Our crew has designed and executed live-stream events for clients including Amazon Music, Google, the University of Waterloo, and other clients broadcasting on their own channels internationally within the past four years.
