Live streaming

Your event, produced
like a broadcast

We produce live shows: conferences, launches, awards, performances and panels, streamed to wherever your audience already is. Multi-camera, directed live, with graphics, playback and a run of show, from our studio in Cumbria or anywhere you need us.

What you get

A show, not a camera
pointed at the room

The difference between a stream and a broadcast is everything around the pictures: the running order, the graphics, the cutting, and someone whose job is the audience at home.

Format and run of show

We build the running order with you: segments, timings, who is on camera when, what happens if a speaker overruns. Rehearsed before the day, not improvised on it.

Multi-camera live direction

Cameras cut live by a director, so the stream follows the moment rather than sitting on a wide shot. Up to 22 angles, including remote-controlled cameras where space is tight.

Graphics, playback and sound

Lower thirds, titles, sponsor idents, slides and video packages played in live, with sound mixed for headphones rather than a room.

Platforms and afterlife

Streamed to YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, Vimeo or your own site, several at once if you want. You get the recording, and clips cut for social afterwards.

Three levels

Sized to the event,
not to a package

A panel discussion and an awards night are not the same job. These are the three shapes most events take. We will tell you which one you need, including when it is the cheapest one.

Level one

Single camera

A briefing, a webinar, a Q&A or an AGM. Quick to set up, one operator, live to one platform.

One remote-controlled camera

The power of a gallery without the truck. Most conferences and launches sit here.

Up to 19 camera angles
Live graphics and playback
Presentations integrated
Multi-platform streaming

Level three

Live output to screens in the room
Everything in level two

No rate card. Tell us the event and we will give you a price for it.

How it works

From first call
to going live

The conversation

What the event is, who is watching, what you need them to do afterwards. We work out the level from that, not from a menu.

Build the show

Running order, graphics, sponsor slots, playback, and a site visit if it is on location. Everything agreed before anyone turns up.

Rehearse

Speakers and presenters get a run-through. Most problems on a live show are solved here, quietly, the day before.

Show day

We run it. You watch the room, not the technology. The recording and the clips follow within days.

Where

Our studio, or yours
for the day

We have our own studio near Carlisle, built for this: two spaces, lit, sound-treated and wired for live. It is the cheapest way to produce a recurring show, because nothing has to be rigged twice.

For everything that has to happen where it happens, we travel. Conference venues, theatres, factory floors and fields. We can broadcast from almost anywhere, including places with no fixed internet.

Questions

The ones we get
asked most

Can you stream to more than one platform at once?

Yes. YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, Vimeo and your own website can all take the same show simultaneously. We will usually suggest picking the one or two where your audience actually is, rather than all of them.

What if the venue has no decent internet?

We bring our own connectivity and bond multiple connections, so the stream does not depend on the venue wifi. We have broadcast from places with no fixed line at all.

Can we charge for tickets or take sponsorship?

Yes. Pay-per-view and sponsor integration are both straightforward, and sponsor slots on a stream reach further than a banner in a room. We produce our own ticketed live shows, so this is familiar ground.

What does it cost?

It depends on the level, the number of cameras and whether we travel. Tell us the event and we will give you a price for it rather than a rate card.

Making a podcast? We can stream the recording itself, so your audience or paid community can watch it happen and put questions to your guest live. It is an add-on to any of our podcast packages. See the podcast extras →
