Digital and live production experts Really Creative Media’s Virtual Stage is a high standard simulation platform for venues, conference organisers, brand activations and live music promoters to host events remotely while maintaining lock down curfews.
The Covid-19 pandemic has reshaped the horizon for the live events market, with the ban on mass gatherings in place for the foreseeable future and a predicted slow return to ‘business as usual.’
Businesses and entertainers have jumped onto the standard streaming platforms and apps available to join meetings, or stream performances from their lock down locations. While these have been great short-term alternatives, Really Creative Media has developed Virtual Stage to introduce higher production values back into the streams.
Virtual Stage uses a powerful 3D engine to create virtual environments and allow live streaming from professionally presented, engaging environments. All without the need for people to travel anywhere.
All participants can be streamed live, or filmed from their own locations and integrated into the on stage screens. Pre-recorded participants’ content can also be added to be part of a collective event scene.
Really Creative Media’s Nick Dew says: “The live event setting can be customised to the clients’ creative aspirations, without the budgetary restraints that can be a limiter to set design in the real world. Our Virtual Stage requires no one to leave their location and travel to a studio with technicians, so puts nobody at risk, but will deliver content that is truly engaging.
“For example, we can produce a conference live stream in a 3D simulated venue, incorporating multiple speakers or panel discussions, with pips and slide management on screens built into the 3D stage set and allow Q & A interaction with specific remote delegates.”
RCM has co-operated with venues and production companies to produce realistic 3D venue simulations, which a client can then license to host their conference to be streamed to any number of speakers and delegates, where-ever they are in the world.
