Esports Broadcast Lab

Everyone dreams of making content that becomes viral. But on the way to achieving stardom, there is a lot, believe us, A LOT that can go wrong if you don’t have adequate media production skills. This applies especially in regards to broadcasting live events. Our workshop is here to save you from on-air mishaps and hone your skills in producing engaging content. You’ll learn the art of storytelling, master camera techniques, and grasp the ever elusive concept of “good lighting”. You’ll get hands on experience with using industry standard software such as VMIX, as well as professional grade lighting and camera setups.

Organizing a video game tournament, along with a live broadcast to go with it, can sound like a cool and fun idea. But if you don’t plan it out well, it can lead to a chotic scene of angry attendees laying every single complaint in the world onto you, all while you wonder why you ever thought the tournament was a good idea in the first place. Organization and event planning might not be the most flashy topic in esports, but it is one of the most important to learn by far. Our workshop will run over everything you need to know about how to plan and execute successful live events. At the end of it all, you’ll be navigating the labyrinth of no-shows, technical glitches, and unexpected rule disputes with grace and finesse.

We get it, public speaking is diffcult. Now combine that with having to face down the big bad camera and navigating your way through technical difficulties, awkward transitions, and uncomfortable silences. Being on-camera can be daunting but our workshop is ready to provide a supportive environment where you’ll learn effective techniques to boost your confidence, conquer stage fright, and develop your unique hosting style. We will guide you through practical exercises, offer constructive feedback, and share valuable tips to help you shine in front of the camera. Don’t worry, we won’t judge…much.

You can have great cameras, lighting, and sound, but to make your broadcast really stand out, you’ll need to know how to make some awesome graphics! We’re talking exciting custom animations, eye-catching stingers, and unnecessarily animated lower-thirds! During our workshop you’ll learn how to use software such as Photoshop, Premire Pro, and After Effects to make graphical assets that will make your broadcast stand out. Get ready to unleash your inner graphic designer with just enough skills to convince your grandma that you’re “tech-savvy.”

It’s very difficult to stand out in the modern ultra saturated media environment. If you’re tired of being outshined by dancing hamsters, you’ll need to sharpen your skills in marketing. Our workshop will give you valuable information on how to interact with the media, craft compelling messages, and manage your brand image. You’ll learn how to pitch your message effectively to anyone, whether they be in person or online.
