The Biggest Production Of My Life Part 5 The Devil Is In The Details
The ideal situation would have the streams available for people to view as easily as possible. The problem became how. In the past, the organization set up two YouTube channels and broadcast to those so the fear became that in order to do six streams we would have to create and manage six different channels… that was not going to be fun and certainly not something I was interested in doing.
the Biggest production of my live (part 2)
A part of my job that I rarely talk about but I really love is the opportunity to give tours of our facility. Students, community members, alumni, and more all come into our space to see what we have going on. A quick look at the newsroom then the “ooh”s and “ahhs of the control room and the mezmerization (yeah, I just made up a word!) of the studio - specifically the application of chromakey and virtual sets. I love showing off what we do but recently something that was said set me back.
The biggest production of my career (part 1)
6 computers running OBS… 14 ElGato Cam Like 4k capture devices … hundreds of feet of HDMI cables… 30 microphones…. 6 audio mixers… hundreds of feet of xlr cables…. 20+ iMac computers… 3 rolls of gaffe tape… a ton of sweat.. No blood (that I know of)... no tears (that I know of)… a couple of expletives… all to produce over 125 hours of live content over two days… by far, the biggest live stream event of my life!
