WATCH A COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION,
YOU CAN HAVE AN ENTIRELY
VIRTUAL EVENT OR YOU COULD HAVE
YOUR ENTIRE TEAM WATCH SOMEONE
LIVE IN THE STUDIO SPEAKING TO
SOMEONE VIRTUALLY OR HAVE
SOMEONE THERE VIRTUALLY OR HAVE
SEVERAL PEOPLE ON A PANEL IN
OUR STUDIO IN ORDER TO SPEAK TO
A LARGER GROUP OUTSIDE THE

THE FEAR FACTOR, PEOPLE ARE
NERVOUS.
NERVOUS.
NERVOUS. VIRTUAL IS NOT NEW, WE'VE
ALWAYS HAD A VIR+@TUAL COMPONEN
TO OUR EVENTS BUT TO GO FULLY
VIRTUAL, CLIENTS ARE NERVOUS SO
LIKE JODI SAID, WE RECOMMEND A
COU+@PLE OF THINGS, NUMBER ONE,
GOING TO A PROFESSIONAL STUDIO
LIKE THE SL+@ATE.
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF CLIENTS
COMING HERE TO TAPE AND
PRERECORD OUTSIDE PRODUCTION
QUALITY, THERE'S A LOT +@OF ZOO
FATIGUE AND THEY EXPORT MORE
THAN THAT.
THAN THAT. MAKING SURE THERE IS AN IN
PERSON TOUCH POINT ALSO, SELECT

+@
+@ GUESTS
+@ GUESTS H+@OMES, THROUGH A LOCAL
DELIVERY SERVICE SO THE GET AN
EXPERIENCE FOR THE EVENT.

SOME OF THESE THINGS GOING THAT
ARE VIRTUAL SO DO YOU GUYS
TEACH CLIENTS HOW TO DO THIS AS
WELL?

I STARTED THE SLATE WITH MY
SISTER WHO IS A FORMER NEWS 8
ANGER, SHE'S BEEN IN THE MEDIA
WORLD FOR SO LONG BUT I'M THE
LAWYER SISTER AND I'VE LEARNED
A LOT IN THE LAST YEAR AND A
HALF BUT SHELLEY BRINGS THE
TECHNICAL PORTION AND HER
NETWORK IS SO SKILLED WITH
BASICALLY TAKING NEWSCASTS LIVE
SO SHE'S VERY COMFORTABLE AND I
THINK THE OTHER PART OF IT,
JUSTINE WAS TALKING ABOUT FEAR
FACTOR, IS THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT
ACCUSTOMED TO BEING ALWAYS
ONLINE.
ONLINE.
ONLINE. BUT EVERYONE IS WRAPPING THEIR
+@
BUT EVERYONE IS WRAPPING THEIR ARMS AROUN+@D IT NOW WE ARE HER
TO MAKE IT EASIER BECAUSE I AM

INTO A STUDIO WITH GREAT
LIGHTING AND WONDERFUL AUDIO
