Client

The Popunie is a Rotterdam-based foundation focused on developing the talent of Dutch artists and helping them become successful. They support musicians with practical questions, and also help connect them with event organizers. Every year they present the Rotterdam Music Awards, with the winners chosen by online vote.

Background

The Popunie wanted to reach a larger audience and create more news value. Plenty of press attended the Rotterdam Music Awards, reporting live on which artists had won awards. By offering a livestream, a large audience could watch remotely, and they could create content that was easy to reuse.

Chosen platform: embedded livestream via Vimeo

Valo handled the cameras and the livestream for this awards show, and advised on camera use and livestreaming platforms. The show took place in a theater, where Valo worked closely with the audio technicians and the team that handled screen direction for the projector.

The chosen solution was an embedded livestream via Vimeo, which allowed the Popunie to easily embed the livestream in its website. This meant visitors did not have to look for the livestream on another platform, and the Popunie’s branding was preserved.

Valo provided

  • Advice on camera and platform use

  • The technical production of the livestream with four cameras

  • Embedding the livestream on the Popunie website

  • Seamless coordination with the theater’s audio and lighting technicians

  • Fast delivery of the video footage, allowing the Popunie to reuse content

Results

The production resulted not only in a livestream that could be watched directly on the Popunie website, but also in a source of valuable content.

The footage was used to create separate videos of the award presentations, and screenshots could be taken of every moment of the event.

Price indication

A similar multi-camera video production costs between €4,000 and €5,000.
