VIRTUAL EVENT CASE STUDY

The Brief

At the time of recording, face to face events were not possible so the client needed an alternative way to host its management meeting. As virtual event experts, we were up to the challenge, and began to look at how we could make the event as engaging as possible, despite the lack of in-person attendees.

Our brief was to work in partnership with production company Chimera and their client Specsavers to live stream their internal Management Meeting from a professional temporary broadcast studio in the midst of the pandemic.

The clients wanted to get as close to the look and feel of one of their regular management events whilst working in a virtual environment. In spite of the regular Zoom meeting scenario seen during the pandemic, Specsavers wanted a higher level of professionalism. We helped them to achieve the look and feel of a ‘morning TV show’, complete with set, cameras, teleprompters, comfort displays, studio lights and more.

Key Deliverables

Our Solution

During the pandemic, we saw a growing demand for a high-quality alternative to standard Zoom webinars. We worked hard to develop our capabilities as a virtual and hybrid event production company by investing in new cutting-edge technology and skill sets.

Video Mixing & Streaming

Virtual events require specialised equipment and technical creativity to achieve a broadcast which feels and looks professional.

Using our high end vMix workstation we were able to mix between four HDSDI cameras and many computer inputs over our IP network. The vMix system has huge flexibility and it can manage an entire production in the hands of a skilled operator. We also used separate vMix servers to handle the incoming/ outgoing video calls with the remote presenter and this allowed the vision director to focus solely on video mixing and spreading the workload amongst other systems creating added resilience.
