5 day production with the Livestream Studio HD500

Livestream Studio HD500 production

Over the last week we were involved with Atticus Media, Melbourne Green Screen and Hungry Jacks with the AFL Goal of the Year promotion at Federation Square. The promotion involved green screen chroma keying people into a scene at the MCG kicking a Goal of the Year. Over a 5 day period, we created more than 1000 videos which were uploaded and an activation email automatically sent to the client as soon as the video was live on YouTube. The turnaround was roughly 3 minutes per client. Being AFL week at Federation Square and with school holidays, we had to ensure a reliable and fast keying, editing and uploading solution. At the centre of the workflow was the Livestream Studio HD500 which edited the sequences and inserted the lower third titles automatically via a live Google spreadsheet. The HD500 ran 10 hrs a day, 5 days solid without one single issue. In a critical production environment like this, the HD500 is unmatched.
