MTI goes from phone call to finished production overnight.

With very little time to prepare, Videographer Shawn Chadwick and Streaming Specialist Analee Wong make sure all systems are go.

The call from former client PLUS Communications came in around closing time. The question: Could MTI be ready to cover a press conference before noon the next day? Well, obviously that is very short notice. But the true answer is that the next day our team was there on the job, on time, and ready to go!

The event was a press conference by Virginia Senators Tim Kaine and Mark Warner making their case that the new FBI headquarters should be located in Virginia.

Last-Minute Production Solutions

So many last-minute problems had to be solved and solved quickly. As this was an outside event, in front of the GSA building in downtown D.C., there was no hard-wired Internet. So a quiet generator was found to power our LiveU Solo streaming device and get the video to YouTube.

Time-Sensitive Venue Considerations

Also, because of the public location, we were advised not to get there too early and draw any unwanted attention. Still, we were set up, tested, and ready to shoot in only two hours.

Event Production Crew

The crew was Livestreaming director Ben Wong, Videographer Shawn Chadwick, Streaming Specialist Analee Wong, and Audio technician Dave Goldstein. In addition to the generator and LiveU Solo, the equipment included the Sony FS7 camera on a Sachtler tripod, podium microphone, and mixing board.

In the end it was satisfying to help a repeat customer achieve their goals… and the 5-star Google review we received was much appreciated!
