And so the original plan was to go with a smaller Blackmagic switcher, but the new Constellation line came out in perfect timing. And so it's a creation that was on a piece of paper that ended up becoming something in the real world, and it's based on Blackmagic. Over the pandemic, I was able to partner with Z-Case and ProX cases and they built this design that we came up with collectively. That saves a lot of time, and so we just really invested in technology to assist us with, one-minimizing setup time, and two-being able to deliver a higher-end service.”Īsked for details on their current kit-visible in the video that accompanies this article-Reid said, “This kit is a dream of mine that I've been having for like the last five years. “For example, before we would have a lot of road cases with individual gear and having to connect cables…during the pandemic break from in-person events we built this kit behind me that we can roll into any venue and be ready to go within 40 minutes. With the recent pivot back to in-person live events, how have video production companies readjusted their workflows and in what ways has rapidly evolving technology leveled the playing field for producers? We spoke with Jimmy Reid, Chief Technology Officer, Event Stream Team, a family-run company based in the Washington DC area, about their current approaches to live production and the use of their dynamic new live streaming kit featuring a Blackmagic Design workflow.Īsked about how the period of remote production impacted the way that Event Stream Team now approaches onsite productions, in terms of new equipment or new modifications to the ways that they previously worked on location, Reid replied, “I would say we used the virtual production time, not having to move gear…as a way to really optimize how we do stuff in person,” Reid says.
