XinChuan Studio Livestreams the First Southeast Asian Culture Festival
On April 15, 2023, XinChuan Studio provided multi-camera livestreaming for the first Southeast Asian Culture Festival, organized by the School of Oriental Languages and Cultures. The livestream was distributed through GDUFS Admissions on WeChat Channels and Bilibili, covering the opening ceremony, cultural booths, outdoor interaction, and water-splash activities.
The event carried a dense mix of visual information. The team needed to switch flexibly between fixed and roaming pictures, keeping the signal clear and stable while helping online viewers feel the Southeast Asian folk culture, costumes, booth interaction, and audience participation on site.
The opening ceremony required stable coverage of hosts, guests, and atmosphere. After understanding the event flow and organizer requirements, the livestream team planned the script, camera dispatch, and director-camera workflow, then tested the plan through rehearsal before settling on the final execution approach.
At the switching station, the team had to monitor audio and video output continuously. Moving between the indoor opening ceremony and outdoor activity areas required a clear production chain connecting the director, assistant director, technical lead, and camera operators through OBS monitoring, switcher operation, and on-site communication.
The festival took place at Nansha Waterbird World Ecological Park. The outdoor portion included performances, cultural booth interaction, and a water-splash segment. The team combined fixed cameras with roaming cameras: fixed positions preserved the overall relationship between spaces, while roaming shots moved into booths, interviews, and audience interaction to make the event route legible for online viewers.
Signal stability was the first challenge of the outdoor livestream. To handle open space, moving routes, and interactive segments, the team used multiple Mammoth Legend wireless video transmission sets, a Tilta Float stabilization system, and a BMD 4K switcher, keeping fixed cameras, roaming cameras, and the switcher workflow under control.
The water-splash segment shifted the livestream from performance coverage into a more open form of live interaction. The team had to balance equipment safety, participant movement, and visual interest, moving close enough to capture the energy without interrupting the activity.
The project showed the team’s professionalism and flexibility in multi-scene campus culture livestreaming. Through planning, rehearsal, on-site switching, and mobile filming, the team not only delivered a stable broadcast, but also translated the festival’s openness, energy, and international cultural atmosphere for online audiences.
