@StreamVirtual_ @RobinhoodApp Yes, definitely who helped with this?

[Nate Hall @nat3hall]

There's a lot of examples out there of bad live streams, but very few of good ones let alone great ones. As far as corporate livestream go, I'd have to say this is pretty top-tier high production values, online audience focused, and incredible design and art. Bravo.

@RobinhoodApp Absolutely incredible production values. This is one of the best produced streams I've seen in a long time. Love to find out who was behind the production.

@joelcompiles @kchau @XMoney @AskAmex @Citi @AlaskaAir Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark...

@alexanderbenz @alexcooldev I think the real end game is there won't be any distribution. It's just the end user will request what type of game they wanna play and then the AI will just make it for them. No developers or marketing needed.

What are the odds…

Yesterday I posted about accidentally working with TBPN on the Ramp “Brian’s Office” activation last October and said it would be amazing to work with them directly someday.

I had never mentioned them publicly before.

One hour later, a friend called saying he had a client who needed camera calibration help. I got on the call expecting a normal job…

It was TBPN.

I couldn’t believe it. They use the exact same production equipment I have — Sony FR7 cinema cameras, vMix switchers, and Electro Voice microphones, all the same gear. The biggest streaming show on the internet runs on the identical setup as @StreamVirtual_ Productions.

It’s wild how things can line up like that.

@liangsays @MTSlive @X If you guys ever need help putting together higher and live streams or live streams on location. Please let me know. We also build studios.

[Nate Hall @nat3hall]

@ashnichrist Very impressed with the spark I got to lead a class showing people how to use it at infocomm this year with @kaitiekat85

@KahliefAdams @StreamWithMeld @joelcompiles I'd like to be able to use Zoom ISO inside MELD, and build all scenes in MELD but maybe actually switch inside vMix.

[Nate Hall @nat3hall]

@elgato @WankilStudio @elgatoFRA Wow, looks great. I love building studios like this. You guys did a great job.

30 years of broadcasting.

I got my first real job in this business at 16, back in 1996. The comm tech program at Howard High School vo-tech landed me an internship at the local cable station, Channel 2 and 28, cutting my teeth on the news and local baseball games.

Then they hired me on to the leased access side, where everything clicked. I worked those shows completely solo. Directing, TD, graphics, audio, playback, every job at once and all in real time. And this was analog. No undo, no safety net, a show that had to go right the first time. Those are the exact skills I lean on every day now in live streaming.

But the thing I loved most was a show we built ourselves. A video game TV show, YouTube before YouTube existed, something fun and weird and ours. That was the spark. The first taste of building something of my own.

Then came 6abc WPVI. The biggest station in the Philly market, owned by Disney. The mouse. For a kid who started on local cable, walking into that building was surreal.

And now I am building something finally my own with @StreamVirtual_ , producing broadcasts that reach tens of millions. My own studio, my own room, chasing that exact magic from the game show days. That dream never changed.

Thank you to Stephen Shaw, Frank Vanderslice, and James Gittens for handing me this craft. I have never once put it down.

Thirty years in and I am 46 with more fire than I had at 16. The best show I produce has not aired yet.

Here is to the next thirty.
