While virtual events are ultramodern, the scale volume of livestreaming to any kinds of gatherings are something that is special this 2021. Even without bringing people together physically, the online meetings, business conferences, product launching and many more were booming. However, many of them as well are inexperienced to create a rock-solid plan, that’s why I-Tech Digital Productions is here in the Philippines to break those barriers beyond opportunities and capabilities.
Sometimes a final decision about the rules of Virtual Events from contract to dated setup can be ignored or changed on the day of the event out of nowhere. But sometimes, it is possible for service provider to fail if there is a major revision of materials or program script on the actual day of event.

In fact, if you study on how we are able to share the 7 Benefits of doing Virtual Events with I-Tech, you will realize that technical difficulties are always having its own tendency to happen, but having a Plan B & Plan C, together with a team to save your day from troubleshooting is one of the best inclusions that we have, and the benefits of doing Virtual Events with our team are:
#1 – Anticipation
Compare to in-person events for example, if there is a sudden feedback or echo to the Audio, the Technical Assistant will run as his quick response to find out the main problem and solve it as fast as he or she can. Meanwhile for the Virtual Events, once the materials are received by our team, we will double-check the Audio or Video file format if there is no glitches or damages, so that once it will be aired online, it will run smoothly. Speaking of Virtual, since all of our guests are watching at their own homes live or online, our team shall equip the high bandwidth supply of internet, followed by House Rules to please use a fast-connection for the internet or mobile data in order to enjoy a satisfying view on their screens.
Worst case scenario may happen such as Power Outage or Inconvenience of internet service provider, that’s why we have to use UPS as back-up power and electricity supply (our Mini-Generator Set as second option) and also the broadband modem/router as back-up internet connection (our LiveU: wireless streaming tool as second option). This is a frequent instances, that’s why you have to anticipate those troubles with preparations, nobody wants to be disappointed.

#2 – Safety Preparations
When we say Virtual Events, even our team needs to be focused on the rehearsals based on the final submitted materials from our clients. It is indeed a mortal sin for our team to engage with Virtual Events without safety preparations, just like saying “trust the process” on ourselves without doing a first move to progress. Safety Preparations, as Livestreaming Production Company in the Philippines, are always equipped with Swab Testing before we put ourselves to the real fight on the program flow.
Despite of being a one-stop production company, I-Tech has its own expertise. We do not try to be everything to everyone because we think, we move, and we make things happen with Godliness.
#3 – Calculated Timing
A complete disregard to communication between the Client and the Company will result in the same problem and mistake to Virtual Events, because even though the bookings are already set on the scheduled time and date, there’s no vocabulary in our mind to procrastinate or to be complacent. We’ve all been to events where everything, from the very outset, begins very late or get delayed because some of VIPs are not yet present in the platform, that’s why some of the clients’ alternative plans are either rushed or skipped or stretching out the time despite of inconsistent program flow.
Speaking of Calculated Timing, a span of days or weeks or a month is always packed with team meetings and preparations so that once we are now set on the actual date, our team is prepared technically, physically, socially, spiritually and mentally. Whenever the guests are now waiting to catch the livestreaming of event, some of participants will not gonna make it to the event due to personal reasons or unexpected phenomenon, that’s why our Recording is important to give them a look back with a high-quality audio and video format.

Having a discipline at work will result in a positive outcome, and making participants satisfied is not just only our aim, but also it is our job to commit our performance very well especially to the President, Heads, CEO and Representatives of the company of our client. That might sound like opinion rather than observation, so what worked the best? The accurate recommendation that we can suggest is to maintain a joyful relationship between our team and to our clients with reconciliation.
#4 – Secured Accessibility
It might be required without asking, but we have the responsibility to maintain the privacy of our clients especially for their own Virtual Wedding, On-Air Board Meeting, Online Business Conference, Live Product Launching, Remote Year-End Parties and many more. In these trying times, there are so many hindrances to make a Physical Event (health protocols, venue occupancy, mandatory number of attendees, internet access, swab testing, etc.), but the Virtual Event itself can mitigate those obstacles because first, you don’t need to commute on the location like the way events are used to be, and a fast connection of internet will do.
Way back then when events participants are being numbered by the security guards or events marshal, it is also as the same of what the Social Media Platforms are doing right now (as long as if you’re doing this wisely) such as Facebook where you can able to do a Closed-Group Livestreaming, for Zoom Meeting or Webinar has its own Meeting ID and Passcode after clicking the invitation link, as well as to Microsoft Teams that can do the same thing and many of those platforms that our clients prefer. Most of those advanced features are not free, but that is one of I-Tech’s advantage for investing our licensed accounts for example to Zoom Meeting or Webinar, plus our Licensed Livestreaming Software (Wirecast).
Most everyone today can join a video call or whatever kind of virtual gathering it could be, but it is a rare thing to have a Production Company or Service Provider who are experienced enough in broadcasting a high-quality streaming even in recording as well, and helping the emcees or hosts to be more exciting by making themselves a creative layers that can make their own presentations in a way that is presentable (front camera video + lower thirds + title + logo + video input + timer + flashing on-screen images + presenter over the presentation + on the spot cropping of video IS A TOTALLY AMAZING APPROACH OF I-TECH’s CAPABILITIES).
#5 – Accuracy
People say that in order to make a better positioning of object comes with a creative mind, this kind of motto is always applied in our Virtual Events, especially for doing our Evergreen Approach in Livestreaming. By thinking about the subject or the events host, we have to collaborate with the client on where would be the Timer be placed (Center, Left, Right, UL, UR, LL, LR, CL, CR), also the Lower Thirds (5 to 15 seconder flashed-video where the Name, Company or Designation of the speaker is indicated), cropping a portion of video, Title of the Event, Keywords or Hashtags, Event Logo, Video, Image, Audio and many more, this is the usual components of our Evergreen Approach in Livestreaming from the advanced features of our Licensed Wirecast. Speaking of that approach, it wouldn’t be complete without the help of the Green Screen (for Chroma Keying; a technique used to change the green color into a transparent one and can be replaced by Background Image, Video or Motion Graphics or whatever they like to put into).
Why is it important to have an accuracy in Virtual Events? because even at in-person events, for example to Wedding, if you’re making a close-up mood to the groom and bride before their own lips will kiss as one and then all of a sudden, you will have a technical problem in video or audio, automatically the scene will be in a serious trouble. That is why it has a relative meaning to the OCD of Perfection, where you must know on when you will properly flash the Audio Effects at perfect timing (clapping, drum rolls, upbeat music, etc.), by having a good preparation on where you will insert the next part of the program in transitional effects (Fade, Cut, Dissolve, etc.), as is for placing the layers of your choice.
#6 – Package
Unlike before, Physical or In-Person Setup requires a checklist on who or what would be your supplier at your project or events such as:
• Lights and Sounds
• Events Management
• Catering
• Director
• LED Wall
• Trucking or Delivery Services
• Generator Set Provider
• Decoration Staff
• Installation and Pullout Manpower
• Photo and Video / SDE
• Cameraman
• Video Editor
• Wedding Supplier
• Camera Rentals
• Livestream Operator and many more

See that? and most of those mentioned suppliers from above are independent or stand alone, meaning they have their own expertise and weaknesses, that’s why Package is important because sometimes it is way too chaotic or complicated to talk to many contact persons plus, you can’t even rewind the time if those people or supplier has or have their own addresses that are way too far at your location when they don’t arrive on time at the venue (out of town ones). Here in I-Tech Digital Productions, all of those mentioned suppliers are all-in at I-Tech. So instead of making our clients having a tough situation to look for others, we are here to save their time and make things as easy as we can. No one wants to be ruined, no one else wants also to shatter the trust of their customers, that’s why day-by-day we never stop to train for the good of all while keeping ourselves healthy at the midst of pandemic because it needs to be carefully balanced.
#7 – Fit for All
Having so much many track records between Physical/Virtual or Hybrid Events, whether big or small ones must be felt at real-time expectations. Since we are in a New Normal Era, attending to the Virtual Events are always equipped with a combination of excitement and motivation, alongside with a little bit of pressure or nervousness, this is because Virtual Events fill us up with unbelievable information and ideas that many of companies and businesses nowadays are looking for a very-credible and professional Production Companies. Fit for all because when I-Tech was so used to do Physical Setups before the pandemic starts, a year 2020 is a year of lockdown and that is the time where we cannot afford to be silent and close our services, instead we actively worked hard to discover and discover and learn new things from altercations, unequal ideas, risking ourselves in the name of production until we make it here, serving our clients at their own tables with a smile of maintaining our relationships together as one.

Building a trust with our clients require a maximum tolerance of not neglecting our immune system. Having a great internal communications are crucial to consider in ahead of time, planning to accomplish the event requirements (with a lead time),even if it requires so many days and nights of editing or rehearsals while brainstorming on how effective could it be as part of contribution shall be continued tomorrow or on the next day, so that all of us can take that much-deserved rest in the night.
Given the fact that there are so many suppliers all over the world, but what matters the most is how to make the Virtual Events effective because live video is technically more interesting and engaging. In addition to the livestreaming, it is always a wonderful recommendation for Panel Discussions, Speakers presentation, Virtual Wedding, Face Participation, Incentivization Programs, group articulations and many more.
Virtual events are supposed to be special. It is supposed to be an opportunity for attendees to feel the way of communicating with each and other speakers in a very real time manner, and even though most of those things came naturally from Physical Events, Virtual Events and I-Tech Digital Productions are always open whatever the protocols will be (ECQ, MECQ, GCQ, MGCQ), we can offer our clients with a monumental amount of engaging opportunities via their inquiries.
Nowadays, having so many kinds of request on how to make an online gathering contains a massive components for this and for that. The bottom line of all through out of these benefits is that more and more people are going to attend in virtual, but to look for a well-known One-Stop Production Company with an All-In equipment that caters almost everything that their client needs where they can able stand out, leaving a cherished experience for all the attendees is located at the heart of I-Tech Digital Productions. It takes time to make such a careful planning but is superlatively worth it, particularly we pray to run more events in the future, not just here in the Philippines, but also worldwide.
