Hybrid Live Streaming events

A hybrid event is a combination of an offline and an online event. For example, Live events require all the attendees to be present in a physical location at the time of the event, virtual events are those in which everyone attends online, and hybrid events are a combination of both. Therefore some attendees are in person and others attend online.

Virtual Events

A virtual event involves people interacting virtually on the web rather than meeting at a physical location. They can be highly interactive, aiming to create a similar physical experience. Virtual events are cost effective and save on travel expenses. They are an essential method of online engagement for many organizations in the post COVID era.

We will provide:

  • A pre-event Live Stream brief to gather details, including budget and goals.
  • A one hour pre-event strategy meeting on Zoom to discuss all aspects of your event
  • A site survey to test all connections at the facility, including network upload speed, camera placement, lighting, audio options, general lay of the land and everything to ensure a successful broadcast.

Technology and reliability

Planning for Live Streaming is extremely important to us. We always carry spares for key systems and can deploy in case of equipment failure.
Our experience suggests that reliability and success is a result of when all processes are pre planned and backed up with multiple devices.

ACV Guarantee

ACV records to multiple devices with every production. This is to ensure everything is backed up and recorded in multiple places. We don’t leave anything to chance as our clients rely on us to provide high quality results. If you are not totally satisfied, we will either re-shoot if possible, or refund your investment. We are totally commited to every project and will go the extra mile to make sure you are satisfied from start to finish.

Online Platforms Favor Live Streamed Content

Online social media platforms favor live content. If you stream live on Facebook, the chance of your followers seeing it on their newsfeeds is higher than if you share an image or a video on demand. YouTube will also favor live video on its searches, as will a growing number of other platforms. Live Streaming also has the highest rate of engagement of all content types because live is live and it’s happening right now.

Any Format Works with Live Streaming

A simple shoot can filmed with a single camera. A complex shoot will require additional cameras, a live switcher for multiple angles, presentation slides and media integration for projections etc. A higher production level event adds to the visual variety and will keep your audience engaged longer online.

COVID-19 and Beyond

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the need for live streaming has skyrocketed. “Going Live” has now become essential for all sectors of business and community life. Live Streaming has become a valuable and necessary tool as it creates connection, engagement immediacy and financial return.

As of this time, our production service will still to continue to incorporate safe Covid-19 video production practices for saftey of crew and audience.
