Live Production | Groovy Gecko

live production.

Live Production is about much more than turning up on site with a camera crew ready to record footage. It’s about creating a compelling live show, vision mixing live cameras, rolling VT’s, pushing graphics, reacting to real time events and having a backup plan for the backup plan. With over two decades of live production experience, our global team of producers and technicians have created live programming in multiple locations around the world for some of the biggest brands.

Our live production team give clients the confidence and support they need when developing multi-camera production projects. Regardless of scale, complexity, or location, Groovy Gecko provides clients with world class live productions, ranging from 100+ camera productions for esports activations to multi-camera on location shoots to capture events.

During the initial project scoping, we start by discussing the creative aspects of your live and identifying the technical components needed to execute your vision. Once we understand what you’re looking to produce and the budget available, we will work closely with you to tailor a package that will best deliver this.

Next, we’ll jump into pre-production by building the kit and crew needed to execute your project. We’ll keep you up to date on our progress, checking in regularly as the creative for the project develops. When we reach the day for the live production, we’ll be there on the ground to provide coordination, management, troubleshooting, and problem-solving so we can deliver a world class live production.

Our Presenter packs help us deliver both full end to end productions virtually or fill in the missing piece of the production jigsaw.

Our technology allows for:

Multiple simultaneous global virtual presenters and guests
No installation required, presenters and guests only need Chrome installed
Personalised link for each participant to initialise connection

Onboarding of all presenter with an engineer to optimise camera shots and quality
Presenters can deliver and manage their own slide decks

Venue Connectivity.

As an addition to our live streaming services, Groovy Gecko also benefits from a satellite downlinking facility, with connections to BT Tower & NY waterfront. We also have a suite of LiveU units which can provide connectivity on-site no matter where you are. The broad range of signal acquisition options allows us to downlink content from anywhere in the world without needing to be on site. Once we have the feed at our London hub, we can then deliver the streams to a host of platforms including social media platforms or our LPS.

LiveU offers a solution where internet connectivity is limited onsite. Particularly useful for outside broadcasts, or those on the move, the unit works by bonding cellular data to create an upstream internet connection which transmits video content back to our London hub and can also act as a standalone internet connection in ‘data bridge’ mode.
