Now Live Streaming / Webcasting

NEWS FLASH: Live streaming and remote production is here to stay. Make your videos more professional
Since the coronavirus crisis hit, video production has changed – but it’s still possible to make great, powerful videos and get your messages out while being COVID safe.
 
Live streaming has become part of our vernacular. And it’s here to stay.
 
Like many things, live streaming has ‘pivoted’, evolving from a casual way to get a message out to become an essential and highly effective marketing, management, and training tool. The benefit of live streaming is the instant interaction with the audience, giving them something to participate in or feel a part of. It’s a convenient, cost-friendly and effective way to communicate in real time to audiences anywhere.
 
However, audiences tire of the low-quality visuals, complete with those all too familiar unflattering camera angles, poor sound and lighting, and distracting background noises. The fact is, professionally produced, high quality streams not only attract more viewers, they engage them for longer.
 
That’s why I’m so excited to announce our new special, professional live streaming service. We’ve created this service so it’s ‘ISO-friendly’ and convenient. Whether it’s a crew of one or two, we’ll bring the latest digital high definition cameras and production gear to a location of your choice. And we’ll produce excellent, professional results, every time. And if you want a multi-camera webcasting for a truly ‘cinematic-style’ look, we can do that too.
 
For your audiences, our professional high-quality live streams are enjoyable and a pleasure to watch. And those who do live streaming better will influence more people.

Click here to find out more about our live streaming packages and the benefits.

And if you’re after video production, I still provide that service. In light of physical distancing regulations, I offer a remote video production service. This means that only one crew member is on location with the talent to be filmed.
  How it works: I arrange the interview set up with professional cinematic lighting, professional sound and camera I live stream this to you/your team so all stakeholders can observe and review from the safety and convenience of the chosen location For shoots that are interview style, I can set up an iPad  Using this approach, it’s a “no touch” production and highly COVID-19 safe.  
 
We look forward to working with you to make your next event or video better and more successful. Please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Create stunning images by changing height and perspective

As a cameraman or photographer you always need to remember you can make things look like what they are not. Your choice of lens and lighting can make anything look completely different to what it does to the eye. In fact to eye is easily tricked by use of perspective, height and other visual clues we put in our images which can make our brains see what is not there.
