Theater

Theatrical productions can be the most fun and most challenging types of events to stream live. Changing lighting conditions, challenging audio situations, and creative camera placements are some of the most common issues that must be overcome for a successful production. Thankfully, we have filmed numerous theatrical productions over the years and have streamed some of these when the script licensing makes it possible. Community theater is a vital cultural aspect of our communities, and we cherish the opportunity to bring these productions to a wider audience.

When budget allows and when possible, we highly recommend allowing us to set up the gear for a rehearsal prior to the main show. This allows our camera operators and directors to understand the best angles and best shots, as well as to diagnose any potential issues such as lighting and sound. We realize this is not always possible due to scheduling or budgeting constraints, but the end result is much better when we can shoot a rehearsal to prepare.

Typical theater live streams include the following services:

  • Multiple high definition camera angles
  • Camera operators with theater experience
  • Consultations and advice on lighting and sound
  • Ambient, wired, and wireless microphones to capture sound
  • Dedicated video mixing/switching technician
  • Dedicated sound technician
  • Recording of the production
  • On-demand video available after the show
  • Custom graphics and pre-show audiovisual material
  • Ticketing system for paid events
  • Donation system to collect funds

Sample

Here is a sample of a community theater production of Shakespeare’s King Lear. This theater company had rehearsed for months and planned on holding a traditional in-person performance, but the pandemic had other plans. We were able to pull together a streaming production on short notice to bring this performance to the community and to validate the work of these talented actors.
