Santa Live

Christmas, live,
from a world we build

A live Christmas show streamed straight into homes, schools and hospital wards. Performed on green screen inside a virtual world, so it can go places no stage could, and watched by families who cannot get to a show or cannot sit still at one.

The show

What it is

Santa Live was built for the children who miss out: the ones in hospital at Christmas, the ones in a classroom miles from anywhere, the ones for whom a trip to a show is not going to happen.

It is live, which matters more than it sounds. The children are named, the show reacts, and it is happening now rather than having happened to somebody else last year.

It is a ticketed show with its own home at santalive.tv. It is not running this season. If you want to know when it returns, or you run a school, a hospital or a charity who would want it, tell us now rather than next November.

How it is made

No stage
No set to build

The cast perform on green screen. The world they are in is built in Unreal Engine and rendered live around them, and the whole thing is vision mixed as it happens.

The set can be anything

A sleigh over a city, a ballroom, a forest at night. If it can be built in a game engine it can be built for the show, and it costs the same as any other set: nothing to strike, nothing to store.

The camera can go anywhere

Virtual cameras are not limited by what a crane can reach or what a floor will take. Shots that would need a rig and a road closure are a move in software.

It happens live

Not a green screen recording composited for weeks afterwards. The world is rendered in real time and the show goes out as it is performed.
