To communicate with the producer remotely during this virtual event, we sent a dedicated livestream from the camera and discussed over the phone via headset.

Flashback to this summer when we worked with Boston Latin School and Association to create a pre-recorded livestream graduation, as a physical ceremony was not possible due to COVID. We had a fantastic time working with the faculty and students of Boston Latin, and we hope the graduating seniors had an amazing virtual celebration! Stay tuned for the BLSA’s annual Celebration of Latin School Gala in December (virtual this year).
A behind-the-scenes look at our work with Likeable Media and Sorrentino Media filming a two-camera cooking show for Stop & Shop. The show was filmed at the home of the featured nutritionist, and we sent a live camera feed and communicated with the producers and directors via Zoom in order to maintain safe social distancing practices.
At the beginning of the pandemic, we filmed the volunteers and staff of The Salvation Army and their efforts to assist the hard-hit community of Chelsea, MA, along with civil servants and The National Guard. It was very rewarding to document such important work, and truly inspiring to see Massachusetts residents coming together to help others in need.
