Why our stream looks better

A live TV crew, not a webcam setup

Many event streams are shot on small robotic cameras run from a laptop. We come from live TV broadcast. Your event is shot on real broadcast TV cameras, by camera operators who shoot live for the NFL, NBA, ESPN, CNN and MSNBC.

Your remote audience sees the difference: sharp, well-framed shots that follow every speaker, clean cuts between angles, and a picture that looks like your brand, not a video call. Live TV has no second take, and we run your event the same way.

How we produce your stream

From plan to playback

One crew handles every step, so there is one plan and one person to call.

  1. Plan

    Plan

    Before the day we work through your run of show, speakers, slides, graphics and where the stream is going, so nothing is a surprise once you're live.

  2. Shoot

    Shoot

    Broadcast TV cameras run by operators who shoot live for the NFL, NBA, ESPN, CNN and MSNBC. Every speaker is framed and followed like a TV show.

  3. Sound

    Sound

    An audio engineer on the board for the whole program, so remote viewers hear every speaker as clearly as the people in the room.

  4. Cut

    Cut

    A technical director switches cameras, slides and graphics live, so every speaker change and slide lands on the right shot.

  5. Deliver

    Deliver

    Streaming to Zoom, Teams, YouTube or your own platform, plus a program recording our parent studio can edit into highlights.

Questions

Live streaming FAQ

What platforms can you stream to?

Zoom, Microsoft Teams, YouTube, or your own event platform or private portal.

Can you run a hybrid event, with people in the room and online?

Yes. The same crew runs the room AV and the stream, so the people watching remotely get the same event as the people in their seats. We also run fully remote broadcasts.

What makes your stream look better than a typical event stream?

We come from live TV. We shoot on broadcast TV cameras, not webcams or small robotic cameras, with operators who shoot live for the NFL, NBA, ESPN, CNN and MSNBC, and a technical director cuts the show live.

Do we get a recording?

Yes. We record the program, and our parent studio, Urban Samurai Creative, can edit it into highlights or social clips.

What does live streaming cost?

A basic one-camera stream without graphics starts at $5,000, and a two-to-three camera stream with graphics starts at $10,000. Streams with a live audience in the room are quoted per event. Final pricing depends on cameras, crew, venue and program length.
