Crafting an Intimate Visual Experience for a Local Fundraiser
Recently, Avent Connect had the opportunity to handle video engineering for a local fundraiser organized by the Green Earth Foundation. This small but impactful event, attended by about 200 guests, required a professional video setup to enhance the atmosphere and ensure that every moment was captured and shared effectively with the audience.
The venue was a community hall with a modest stage, which presented some challenges in terms of space and lighting. The goal was to showcase pre-recorded environmental documentaries, facilitate live speeches, and provide a live feed for a virtual component to engage supporters who could not attend in person.
“Avent Connect made our fundraiser look and feel professional. Their video team handled everything from the documentary screening to our live stream, and the results were incredible.”
Our approach was to keep things streamlined while still delivering a polished visual experience. We set up a large projector and screen for the main video content, ensuring high-quality playback of the environmental documentaries. Additionally, a small multi-camera setup was used to capture live speeches and interactions, offering varied perspectives and making the event feel more dynamic for both the live and virtual audiences.
One of the main technical challenges was lighting. Since the hall had limited built-in lighting, we brought in portable lights to ensure the speakers were well-lit without washing out the projection screen. Careful calibration of light levels allowed us to balance these two needs effectively.
We also managed the live stream, using a simple but reliable setup to broadcast the event to virtual attendees. Our team monitored the stream throughout to ensure that remote viewers experienced smooth, uninterrupted video, helping them feel connected to the event despite not being physically present.
At the end of the night, the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. The Green Earth Foundation was thrilled with how we managed to elevate their small fundraiser, creating a professional yet intimate atmosphere that resonated with attendees both in person and online.
Key Takeaways from the Fundraiser
