Case Study – Bose Conference & Annual Excellence Awards
Location – ALMOE Studio 3 – Corner Green Screen
Streaming Solution – ALMOE V-Mix > MS Teams – 2-way communication
ALMOE was approached by Bose to provide a solution to move their annual conference and awards into the virtual world
We proposed our Studio 3 – Corner Green Screen Studio with two different 3D Virtual backgrounds, one for the Conference & one for the awards
Our Creative Department worked with Bose to ensure that our 3D designs represented their brand in the best way possible, as well as designing the awards and producing all the video Animations
The Hosts would be live in the Virtual 3D Studio, whilst the Presenters and Awards winners would be beamed in Via MS Teams, and a select Audience would view the program via the Bose Corporate MS Teams meeting platform
Bose gave us the Running schedule and we went to work turning it into a scripted workflow for the Event
The Director & Producer then ensured that all the 8 Presentation Segments and 24 Awards were sequenced correctly in all of our production devices, ready for rehearsals
The Hosts did an amazing job, as it was their first time working without a live Audience, and ALMOE hit all 284 cues during the 4-hour live event
Case Study – Vehicle Manufacturer – Virtual Training
Location – Manufacturers Training Centre – Dubai – ALMOE Mobile Studio
Streaming Solution – ALMOE V-Mix > ALMOE Vimeo > Clients Web Platform
We were tasked with providing a virtual solution to the end clients standard in-house training sessions. These sessions provide training for staff across 3 continents and need to be multi language with the end clients training center being the location for all the sessions, the two training rooms were 6m x 6m each which made social distancing quite a challenge
It was decided to have two 1-hour sessions per day, over the course of 8 days, with the sessions 5 hours apart to allow for regional time differences
ALMOE’s solution was to set a studio up in one room, and the control system in the other room. The Studio contained 4 cameras / lighting / Monitor screens for presentations and Q&A / Director talkback system for Host.
The 16 training Presentations were either done live in the studio or coming in via MS Teams to allow for 2 way conversations between presenters and hosts
Translation was done from France so we were sending them the English Audio and we were receiving the FrenchAudio back via Zoom, which was then routed to the Clients Web platform which was set up for the end user to click on the English or French Language Option
16 Virtual events in 8 days with no rehearsals, no problem, the ALMOE team provided the end client with a turnkey solution, which has now changed the way they are going to handle their training in the future.
Case Study – MENALAC – Virtual Conference & Awards
Location – ALMOE Studio 1A – Large Soundstage
Streaming Solution – ALMOE V-Mix > SRT > Clients Web Platform
MENALAC is an association of the Owners and Operators of the Major Theme parks in the MENA Region. Our client who is representing them required a combination of 2 events 20 minutes apart to be conducted on Studio 1A Soundstage, but those 2 events had to have a completely different look and feel
ALMOE proposed a Multi Camera Shoot with a 15m x 3.5m LED backdrop with associated TV & special effect lighting
The conference only used a couple of sections of the backdrop with very specific camera angles and Graphics, then the Awards used all of the backdrop with different camera angles and Graphics which gave the client the 2 different looks and feels they were looking for
The Conference contained 4 individual presenters as well as 2 panel discussions which involved panelists in the studio and coming in via Zoom to allow 2-way communication between panelists and the moderator, we even had a band which we pre recorded the day before and inserted that into the event flow
The Awards were quite different as we had no idea who had won until the MC opened the envelope, then we had a couple of seconds to find their specific 30 second video, while the zoom team were trying to find the winner and get them live to air to chat with MC at then end of the video.
To Produce this event, it required a Director / Producer / Floor Manager / Stage Manager / Zoom Manager / Content Controller / Camera Director / Cameramen / Video-Audio-Lighting- Streaming Production Staff
Case Study 4 – Oracle – Virtual Conference
Location – ALMOE Studio 3 – Corner Green Screen
Streaming Solution – ALMOE V-Mix > ZOOM > 2 – Way Communication
Our Client required a Virtual platform to launch their new product.
With a list of VVIP Presenters and only 90 minutes to get the message across the ALMOE Production team worked with the client to organize the show flow to ensure that the event would achieve its goals and present the new product in the best way possible
This was a global launch with over 900 employees viewing online
Their design team came up with the looks they wanted and the ALMOE design department helped them transfer them from 2D to 3D
The host presented from the Studio set, and the Keynote speakers presented via Zoom, with 2-way communication with the Host
Panel discussion also came via 5 Zoom calls, with 2-way communication between the individual panelists as well as the host
We had discrete back channel communication with all the callers to ensure they knew when they were going live etc.
Once again, our team & Virtual studio provided the support & location to help our client move from real world events to Virtual events
Case Study – Dubai Night In – Musical Event
Location – ALMOE Studio 2 – Soundstage & Studio 3 – Corner Green Screen
Date - Multiple Events - June to Sept 2020
Streaming Solution – ALMOE V-Mix > Facebook Live / YouTube Live
During the lockdown, ALMOE was contacted by a performer to find a way of bringing a bit more of a live production feel to their weekly events they were producing from home
ALMOE had already started to convert their premises to Studio’s so this was an Ideal way to launch our Studio 2 soundstage & our Studio 3 Green Screen, So “Thursday night in” was launched as a one-off show, but the response was so good, it turned into a weekly event that ran for 4 months
Each week we had different performers come in, as well as International DJ’s to provide much needed entertainment during a very difficult time
The soundstage was used for the 3 different performances each event, and the Green Screen studio was used for interviews between performances
The Sounstage had up to 6 Cameras / In ear Monitoring for all performers / Stage & Effect Lighting, and LED Backdrops which were changed each week.
The ALMOE creative department designed the 3D backdrop for the Greenscreen and all the motion backdrops for the LED screen
Overall, it provided an opportunity to keep our technical staff current, as well as providing the local bands with an opportunity to get together and play for a virtual audience
