Take your event to the next level

We are in unprecedented times and my heart aches every time I hear of a cancelled event. As a team, we know the effort put into events, the financial risk and the meticulous planning that goes into them.

In the midst of the pandemic, we are receiving multiple enquiries about streaming events. While our team are fit and healthy and if we are able work with you while observing social distancing rules, we are more than happy to assist you and feel this is a way to keep events alive and you engaged with your audience.

So instead of cancelling your event, why not stream it?


Take your zoom event to the next level
  1. Keep your audience engaged – people have actively committed to your event. Allow your audience to experience the content you had planned at the time they planned to consume it. Many event organisers have adopted platforms such as Zoom which allows for two-way audience participation through chat and voice/ video. Integrating pre-recorded video is another simple way to break up the monotony of one person in front of the camera during this period.
  2. Keep that slot you have carefully planned for that great speaker – Live streaming means, if necessary, we can even create a video link from the speaker’s own home.
  3. An exclusive perk for disappointed attendees or, an opportunity for a wider audience – There are several platforms which will allow you to control who attends your event which makes it easier to control who sees what you’re broadcasting. Alternatively, why not broadcast your event to the world? Red Shell Productions offers simultaneous streaming to most platforms imaginable. That means we can stream to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Vimeo and more at the same time. While so many people are at home, there is an opportunity for new audiences too. They may even visit your event in person in the future.
  4. Zoom has grown quickly in popularity and is a great way for two-way engagement with your audience. The platform has security measures in place to control who attends your event and utilising our service for multi-angle events is a great way to increase audience engagement. We’ve made a quick video to briefly explore this further.
  5. We have the facility to live edit and stream in a different room to the room you’re presenting in, bring in guest speakers remotely and exercise social distancing on site.

So there you have it! Consider a bold alternative amongst the many other consideration I’m sure you’re having to make right now. Drop us an email on info@redshellproductions.co.uk. We are ensuring we offer the most competitive pricing as we know the whole industry is feeling it.

Live stream to Multiple Platforms at Your Fingertips

Quick access to live news and events was once exclusive to the ambit of radio and TV. Not any more! This field has been widened to include the Internet. And the best part is that people can do this anywhere they want, as long as they have an internet connection. Technology will also allow you to live stream to multiple platforms.

Imagine you have something you want to show the world; a sports gathering, a family reunion, a wedding, or a company event. The Internet is the perfect venue for a live stream. Social media and online interaction with audiences has become increasingly accessible. With some users preferring Facebook, others Twitter or YouTube, choosing one platform can be tricky.

The most popular video streaming platforms today

There are many platforms where you can upload livestream videos, however, the following are the biggest and most popular today.

YouTube – Who hasn’t heard of YouTube? What started out as a video sharing website has now become one of the biggest social media websites out there. YouTube videos are easy to access and you can even mark your favourites just in case you want to see them again and again.

In the UK alone, people watch a combined one billion hours of YouTube videos daily! It is foreseen that watching YouTube will soon overtake TV viewership. Imagine being available to that many people.

Facebook – Many people were not really familiar with social media until Facebook came along. It was Facebook that made social media trendy and cool, even among the older generation.

There are 1.5 billion active Facebook users in the world today, and the UK is home to 31 million of them.

Twitter – Twitter first came out in 2006 and people very quickly picked up on how easy it was to share everything from gossip to hard news using this application. There are currently an estimated 16.4 million Twitter users in the UK alone, with that number seen to rise to 17.1 million next year.

Twitter has now also started live streaming. They did it during the Grammy Awards pre-show and US President Donald Trump’s address to the Senate. They are planning to expand their live stream e-sports events soon.

Livestream – Livestream is currently the world’s number one video platform powering an estimated 10 million events a year. The company offers live streaming along with tracking and analysis, hardware and software, production solutions, and dedicated support.

Livestream currently has partnerships with some of the biggest brands, news organisations and establishments in the world including Nike, Tesla, the New York Times, BBC, Spotify, Nasdaq, Fox, Adidas, Time Warner Cable, and Fox Network.

Pay Per View Live Stream: Is it a necessary business compromise?

Live streaming is becoming an increasingly popular method of generating content. It is valuable for businesses and their brands as it allows the customers to get a closer connection to them. It’s useful for a variety of audiences from those trying to get their name out on the world wide web to businesses. Live streaming is a medium of content (video) that is very popular.

Live streaming does however come at a cost. Some larger organisations will seek sponsorship, product placement or similar to make the stream available to their audience for free. Covering these costs however, is not always that straight forward or may not be relevant to your audience or business plan.

Live streaming events is perfect for sports and gaming

We’ve changed the way we go about entertaining ourselves in this modern world. We consume things differently, we stream music and TV in bulk batches on our mobile devices, we socialise through digital means and we entertain ourselves through the medium of the internet and gaming.

Live streaming sports and gaming events won’t lead to the end of traditional sports and entertainment channels, far from it. Just look at how many people turn up to Premier League games week after week or watch Britain’s Got Talent. There is however, no denying things have changed.

There is an opportunity for sports and gaming communities to take advantage of this through the live streaming of events. Continue reading “Live streaming events is perfect for sports and gaming”

Live streaming your Asian wedding

On your wedding day it’s perfectly natural to want all your family and friends from far and wide to share your special day with you. However, the sad fact is that this isn’t always possible. For many brides and grooms the reality is that some important family members live abroad. In some cases, family aren’t able to travel for health or financial reasons. Live streaming Asian weddings is becoming increasingly popular for this reason.
With the new convenience to travel and live abroad, this can be a particular problem during weddings. Many family members are far away and can’t be there physically to witness the wedding. Long distance travel can be incredibly expensive. For some elderly relatives, it can be too much of a strain to travel such a long way. We have worked with a number of families to help extend their ceremony beyond their venue to include all their important families and friends abroad.

The World Wide Web

As we know, the ‘World Wide Web’ has really opened up the lines of communication across the world, meaning that nowadays, no one needs to miss out on important events. We have worked with many couples to create the perfect solution that would allow their distant relatives to still be a part of their celebrations, and at their own convenience.

Catching the atmosphere and immediate playback options

For those with family in parts of the world where there is a big time difference, it’s not always possible for them to watch the event live. We typically have a minimum of two camera angles at every event to ensure every angle is covered. The camera angles are edited live and footage uploads to the internet whilst streaming. This means footage is instantly available, from the minute the wedding is finished. Friends and family from around the world can therefore watch at a time that suits them.

Keeping tradition through the use of Live Streaming Asian weddings

During some religious ceremonies; for example with Muslim weddings, it’s tradition for the men and women to remain separate during the nikah; marriage ceremony. During the ceremony, it is possible for the women to see the men. This is another advantage to live streaming to family members abroad. This means the female congregation at the wedding can also be a part of the ceremony, whether they’re in the room next door or far away. They can watch the ceremony and witness the bonding of the two families, first hand, and get a closer connection to the bride and groom.
Not only that, but having your wedding videoed for your friends and family, also means you have a keepsake of your wedding day for yourselves too. You can watch the exchange of vows and celebrations time and time again to remember your special day.
Get in touch if you’d like to know more about our live streaming services and ceremonies and how we can connect your wedding guests far and wide. Call us on 0121 6677 898 or email info@redshellproductions.co.uk for a free initial, no obligations chat.
