Midwest Live Productions

First, let us know the details of your event such as the date, type, and any other specifics you have available. Next, we will check our production schedule to see if your date(s) are available and schedule a consultation call with you. Finally, if we're a good fit for your event, when possible, we will schedule an on-site field visit 4-6 weeks before the event to walk through details in person. If an in-person visit isn't possible, we will will have a virtual (i.e. FaceTime) visit with you and/or the venue staff to review the venue setup.

Anything that you need to get your message to a large number of people! Conferences, technical presentations, trade shows, government meetings, employee town halls, company events, keynote addresses, product announcements, webinars, weddings, and much more could all be live streamed on the web.

Yes - no problem! If you want to stream to your account, we will work with you to test before the day.

Yes, absolutely. We understand that not all events should be public (i.e. corporate meetings, executive sessions, private ceremonies). We can work with you to embed the stream in your own system (for example SharePoint with an employee login). Or we can host the livestream on our system with a username/password login to restrict access.

We can import your PowerPoint or KeyNote presentation, videos, and audio directly into the stream. We can even do picture-in-picture so the audience can be viewing both the presenter and the slides at the same time. We can also add names, titles, and more for presenters so your audience knows who is talking.

Yes! Even if you do not want the panel discussion recorded on video, we can still help by providing mikes for the panel members and having a team member run audio for your discussion.

We want your live stream to look like something you would see on TV with multiple angles, so we will always start out with a minimum of two cameras. This allows us to switch between angles to keep your stream more interesting but also to have as a backup in case someone stands in front of the camera, bumps it, etc. For most productions, we usually use 4 - 6 cameras but more may be added depending on the needs of the event!

Probably! We’re not a rental company, but we can help with the audio/visual needs of your event like providing projectors, loudspeakers/PA speakers, and other gear along with providing professional video production and live streaming of your event.

Sure! We can bring Zoom presenters to your in-person event and live stream both them and the in-person presenters all in the livestream.

Yes, for sure! If you’re having an awards ceremony, fundraiser, recognition dinner, or special event and want to sell tickets for the attendees that can’t be there in person, then we can work with you to try to integrate your ticketing/registration system for the online live stream feed.

We’ve done many live streaming gigs over the years, so we understand many potential problems and proactively take steps to work around them or solve them before they become an issue. But the first step is a good planning - we will always take the time to work closely with you, the venue, and your schedule to identify and resolve any possible problems. Second, redundancy is key - we always have backups whether it’s extra cameras, cables, or converters, we got spares. Third, we can use a backup internet connection in case there are issues with the venue’s network. We have the experience and professional level gear to make your event go smoothly.

Generally, recordings can be provided to you digitally as soon as the event ends.

Nope - we know that for some audiences, a live stream option could impact your in-person attendance. We can still professionally record and live edit your event and provide you with a copy. This will save a massive amount of time and budget by not having to edit it later. Then you can distribute it however you wish - upload later to YouTube or Vimeo for on-demand streaming. Or we can also produce DVDs if needed for those with limited internet access.

We need a venue, presenters, electricity, and an internet connection. That’s it! We provide the rest - our team comes fully prepared with all equipment and expertise needed to make sure your event goes smoothly.

Yes. If you’re looking for a permanent installation of live streaming equipment for a conference room, church, meeting space, etc. we can provide consulting services and recommendations.

Generally, no since our equipment is very specialized and requires training to use. While we’re not a rental house in Michigan, contact us if you’re another production company, and we can discuss.
