Freelance Roles

Since the pandemic, our clients have realized the value of having a way to communicate with people both onsite, and in remote locations. The best way to do this is livestreaming. At it’s essence, livestreaming is providing audio and video to a remote audience in the same capacity and at the same time as the onsite audience is receiving it.  The range of events that we might livestream could be an all-hands meeting for a company or organization all the way up  to a fundraising gala with live auction. Our system can take up to four HDMI devices, as a combination of cameras and laptops, and switch them live for your event.  This can be done from remote locations, or from our offices. We can broadcast to YouTube Live, Facebook Live, Vimeo Live, or embed the stream on to your website via a secure server.  

  • With video switcher/encoder, and up to 2 Canon XA25 cameras: $1500
  • Onsite with laptop only- livestream technician labor @ $125 per hour, from arrival to departure
  • Livestreaming from Picture This Video office- $75 per hour (recommend to schedule dry run as well)
