V2 approached us about live streaming a gig from the sitting room of a house in Sheffield. Little Man Tate, an up-and-coming rock band, had just launched their single 'House Party at Boothy's', and wanted to celebrate by staging a gig from their mate Boothy's house.
We set up a mini DV camera in Boothy’s living room, and streamed the gig live via a standard Broadband internet connection. The footage was encoded onto a computer and then streamed live onto a temporary site so that fans who couldn’t make it to the gig, could watch it online.
At the same time as streaming the live feed, we recorded a higher quality version that was then shown on the temporary site for a week after the gig. This meant that those who were at or saw the live stream could re-live the party, over and over again. The video and audio stream worked perfectly and everyone at the party and online had a great night!
