Sydney Indian wedding live stream on YouTube
In the past weekend I and my team had a two days Indian wedding live stream assignment. It was very challenging as we broadcasted over 4 hours each night, few things we needed to be aware of, internet speed, battery level of each equipment, how to work along with other wedding videographers and photographers.
At the first night everything went really well and smooth. However the second we faced an issue of slow internet speed, fortunately we were warned by another live stream professional in that morning, before arriving the venue I went to purchase a lan cable with 50 metre of length so I could be able to put our modem outside the reception hall (see photos). Day 2 of live stream was successfully broadcast to YouTube with this lan cable.
I stop here and would just like to share the comments received from the bride and groom two days after their big day.
Hey Sunny!
I just wanted to thank you so much for the incredible live stream you did for the past 2 days - everyone from overseas is raving about how it looked like a movie! The quality and audio was stunning and I cant thank you enough for making those who couldnt make it feel like they were there in person 😊 I'll definitely be recommending you to all my family friends for their upcoming weddings!
Love,
Haleem & Mithila
We look forward to a fantastic 2022
We did it!!!! After months of lockdown few times since early 2020, finally we got our freedom back, I have no words to describe how I feel now.
Without a doubt, the lockdown has a big impact to the wedding industry for almost two years, but it has come to the end now. We are very pleased to inform that we look forward to work with all clients that booked us in late 2021 and 2022. Our team is fully vaccinated and will do whatever we can to protect ourselves and who we will meet.
Since all covid restrictions of wedding are lifted, we are glad that we have been receiving enquiries of our live stream services and wedding videography packages in the last couple of weeks. Owing to some confirmed weddings of 2021 were postponed to 2022, we regret to inform that the number of weekends available in 2022 are limited. To avoid disappointment, please do not hesitate to give us a shout about the date you need us, we will get back to you as quick as we can.
Looking forward to be a part of your special day.
Wedding live stream in 2022
I hope everyone has been safe and healthy during New South Wales lockdown.
As New South Wales will soon achieve 70% vaccination rate, I believe wedding restrictions will be eased by the end of 2021 and we can have more freedom and back into our business. My guess is that the number of guests in weddings would be limited initially and might take months to lift all restrictions; on the other hand, the border would also take months to open to interstates and foreign countries, should your guests may not attend due to Covid restrictions, wedding live stream would be a good investment to get your family and friends to virtually participate your special day.
We are ready to work with you and be a part of your wedding. All our team members will be fully vaccinated by October this year. We still have spots for wedding videography and live stream in 2022, please do not hesitate to contact us for booking.
I look forward to working with you.
Stay safe!!
Wedding live | ST Bernadette's Catholic Church Lalor Park
Hello Hello Hello!
Last weekend our crew did another live stream wedding event at ST Bernadette's Catholic Church Lalor Park for the lovely Joseph and Veronica.
The couple’s family and friends are based in Philippine so we had a big crowd this time. It was a total of 20 overseas and local guests joining us on Zoom. We have opted for Zoom instead of Youtube this time as Zoom allows interaction among all guests, physical and virtual. This is actually a special request by the groom, he specifically requested to see every viewer especially his parents during the stream. Therefore, we have projected the Zoom on a big screen as we think it would encourage the interaction more by doing this way.
As simple as it sounds, but a livestream event is not as easy as just connecting the camera to a computer with Zoom on. The effort we put in to keep the operation smooth is no less than running a live TV show production. Joseph, the groom also requested to broadcast his prewedding video at the beginning of the ceremony, which created some technical complications for us. There was a lot happening on the stage (MC talking, the prewedding video on screen and then the livestream zoom with everyone) already but it was even more happening behind the screen. Our key panel-controller has world-class switching skills and perfect time management in interchanging screens.
Due to the complex set-up for this wedding, our crew started prepping a week prior to the event including recce to the church to check internet speed and connection to the projector, on-site power points locations, camera set up spots (3x), both hardware and software compatibility etc etc. Without doing these check-ups properly, we wouldn’t have run such a smooth and seamless live wedding.
