GloCast Films Edinburgh City Council Candidate

Arran Moffat — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 23:30:05 +0000

An interview of SNP’s Alasdair Rankin was filmed by GloCast in the run up to the 2012 City of Edinburgh Council Elections.

We used tie clip microphones, soft off-camera LED lighting with a high quality Digital SLR camera and lens to create a professional cinematic finish for the interview.

We wish Cllr Alasdair Rankin all the best for his campaign.

Work is fun when there is a pint involved

3 Webcast Examples

Arran Moffat — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 19:14:08 +0000

You can greatly increase your event audience by broadcasting your conference, seminar or briefing on the internet. This can be done either live or on-demand and can be public or password-protected. Glocast can also provide you with detailed analysis that allow you to see exactly who has watched the presentation and when. All of our webcasts can be incorporated into your existing website or hosted by us. Here are some examples of how clients have used webcasting:

Online Conference Webcasts
Our team can video a conference, after which the individual presentations are made available online. We will take copies of the final presentation slides and prepare them into a slideshow format which is then matched with the video content to create a slick online conference. This is then distributed behind password protection to all conference delegates, so that they can re-experience the presentations. It can also be sold to people who could not make the event, creating a new stream of event revenue.

Live Event Webinar
Our team will broadcast your event live with associated presentation slides mixed into the video footage. Your viewers can leave comments and interact with presenters live through an online chat area. The live webinar can then be converted to an on-demand webcast, allowing participants to spread the link using social media. You can read more about the benefits of Live vs On-demand webcasts here.

Online Client Briefings
A “head and shoulders” presentation directly into the camera. This can be filmed at the client office location and can be mixed with presentation slides or other video if required. This is a really modern and cost effective way to do regular briefings or announce new products, particularly if your client base is global. It also allows you to “put a face to the name” and inject some personality into your briefing.

Live Web Streaming vs On-Demand Webcasting

Arran Moffat — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 19:11:48 +0000

Webcasts can be either live or on-demand. Both have their benefits and in this section you can read about how each can enhance your event or presentation.

Live Web Streaming
A live web stream allows your event or presentation to be broadcast on the internet as it happens. It is vision mixed live on site to incorporate a branded holding slide at the start and end with optional presentation slides mixed throughout the broadcast. The live web stream can be made available on demand shortly after the event, allowing people who missed the live stream, or delegates at the event, to watch it when it suits them.

Benefits:
- Time-critical content can be broadcast to a global audience.
- Incorporate live reaction to up to the second social media conversations.
- Global viewers can engage with the presenters through live online Q&A.

On-demand Webcasts
An on-demand webcast is a pre-recorded presentation, which is available on-line at the viewer’s convenience. The video is edited and can be mixed with presentation slides. Alternatively, we can synchronise the slides side by side next to the video, creating a fully featured online presentation.

Benefits:
- Global reach. Time zones are not an issue.
- The viewer can watch the presentation wherever they wish.
- The footage can be edited and cleaned up before going on-line.
- The presentation can be paused, rewound and repeated.
- A link to the webcast can be sent to your contacts by email or social media.

GloCast produces live web streaming and on-demand webcasts in throughout the UK.
