Introduction

When you need a virtual meeting or event, livestream, webcast or webinar, no one in Central Florida brings more experience and professionalism to the project than our team. Virtual meeting and event production, webcasts, webinars, livestreams and video production services are specialized services. From planning and setup of the event, to the production and moderation of the livestream, we provide the services required to produce a professional online event. Conferences, town halls, all-hands, workshops, seminars, earnings calls, meetings and events can all be live streamed by Orlando Webcasts. We connect to any business or social media platform including Zoom, WebEx, YouTube and Facebook, or to any Content Delivery Network (CDN), or to our platform. Attention to detail and outstanding service are our hallmarks and have allowed us to serve longtime clients for more than a decade.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

We offer several levels of service, from just handling the live streaming portion of an event to YouTube or Zoom, to complete end-to-end production including cameras, audio, lighting, video switching, encoding and distribution on one of our white-label webcast platforms.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

We learn what the client needs to achieve, then make recommendations based on both their input and budget.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Starting as a cameraman, Mike attended workshops at Valencia Community College and the International Television and Video Association. He later attended the International Film and Television Workshops (now Maine Media Workshops) in Rockport, Maine. He has worked professionally in live network television since 1999 and exclusively in live streaming since 2017.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

Producing videos has been a lifetime passion, starting in elementary school. While working for Amtrak, Mike produced numerous videos and became more involved in corporate production before setting out on his own in 1998.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Customers have varied from small, family businesses to some of the largest corporations in the country. We regularly work with senior leadership of companies, as well as event and meeting planners. In 2020, we served clients in North, Central and South America, Europe, Australia, and several Asian countries.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

Our projects usually are no more than one to three days when working on location. Virtual projects are usually one or two days. Pre-production time can vary greatly depending on our involvement in the live stream. Most events start planning 4-8 weeks in advance, with some much longer and some next day.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Try to find someone that has experience in both video production and live streaming, not streaming alone. You want someone that not only can solve the technical issues, but knows what to look for during the production to ensure an end-to-end quality webcast.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Many of our clients have never live streamed an event before, and because each project is different, I suggest they write their questions down so we have the opportunity to answer them. We'll also offer suggestions based on their needs. By taking time to listen to our clients, we can prepare a budget that never costs more than planned.
