live streaming
Take your event to the world
what we do.
Utilising broadcast-quality cinema cameras and specialised stream switching equipment, we provide professional live streaming for corporate events, conferences, awards ceremonies, live theatre, music events, product launches and conventions.
With up to eight camera angles, picture in picture presentations live to your audience, high quality audio and a personalised landing page for your stream, we provide the ideal professional live stream solution for your next event.
why we do it.
In 2020, with Covid now in New Zealand and rules changing in regard to the number of people at events, it was a natural progression for us to add live streaming to our existing video production repertoire.
After doing a ton of research, it became apparent that there were plenty of low-budget live streaming options in Christchurch providing basic quality footage and audio, plus a few high-budget providers who were really well set up for large events. However there was hardly anyone offering high quality live streams for small to medium events, in an affordable budget range.
As it turned out, good live streaming is actually a lot more technical than we first realised and (surprise surprise) also required a large investment in equipment…. but we were up for the challenge and high quality imagery and accessibility to technology is what drives us and so, here we are today.
how we do it.
Our extensive experience in event management, conferencing, marketing and video production, means that with us you don’t just get someone who is ‘techy’. You have full access to a friendly and professional team who thrive on strategy, creativity and logic when it comes to live streaming your event…. plus we are pretty ‘techy’ too!
We provide static cameras, as well as operated cameras, to ensure every angle is covered thoroughly. Our highly skilled operators provide seamless zooming and tracking constantly throughout any event.
Working well with professional audio visual suppliers, we will help make sure you receive the very best sound and lighting quality too.
Have we mentioned we provide high quality? We only use the very best broadcast and cinema quality cameras, the type they use for TV and movies, to take your live stream to the world.
Live Streaming packages start from $1250 + GST

If you have a large event, we would recommend using a professional audio visual company for your sound who we can work alongside to provide audio to your live stream audience.

We record every live stream locally so, if the internet drops out, we can simply head back to the office after your event and upload the recorded video file to the same link…your viewers can get right back to watching.

Yes of course! We will provide you with a link to your video file after your event. You can download the file to your device and upload it to your own video platform or website.
If you would like us to create some shorter clips for your social media from your live stream, we can do that too!

We require a high speed, unlimited data, wired internet connection to run a live stream. Our live streams do not use a lot of bandwidth, so there is no need to worry about your venue having a large internet bill, any standard unlimited connection will have far more than enough data for us.

We need time to set up and pack down. Set up can be 2-4 hours depending on the equipment needed, packout takes 1-2 hours. Please ensure this is factored into your venue hire time.
We need you to tell us everything which will be happening at your event (even if you have surprises for your guests). Things like: having a presentation, a performance are important to us, the number of people speaking, question & answer sessions, if you are playing music or a video, if you are having a half time break during your event, etc.
For larger events, if you are running a technical rehearsal, we need to be there.

We utilise a minimum of three cameras for a live stream, one is operated specifically to provide a moving camera (for zooming and panning). We can provide up to eight cameras and more camera operators for large events.
