Malans, Switzerland (Corona Stage)
Since live streams on remote events are on the rise. My company worked together with an audio/visual company to build a big stage in a Corona-friendly way with a lot of space to keep distance at all times.
People started to invent special TV formats to support artists who couldn’t perform at events.
Maienfeld, Switzerland (Heidi)
Close to my hometown, there’s the place where the famous story of Heidi was written and took part.
For the birthdays of the Swiss nation, the local television wanted to do a special TV show in that village, the so-called “Heididorf”. We had a day of shooting there with the production company I work for.
Bern, Switzerland (Live stream Swiss ski)
We did some live streams for Swiss Ski, the national winter sports organization. They had a photo-shooting day for the upcoming winter season. It was quite interesting seeing all the athletes getting ready and producing content that will be used for a lot of marketing efforts throughout the season.
Balzers, Liechtenstein (Soccer live stream)
In the meantime, the corona virus is on the rise. The number of infections are skyrocketing. Countries, especially within Europe start to restrict bigger gatherings. One of those are sports events, which create an interesting atmosphere. A football game without an audience in silence. Unbelievable almost. The people wanted to enjoy the game anyways. So a lot of teams started to have special live streams during their games. While a lot of events were canceled completely and my work as a freelance cameraman was slowing down, at least we had a rise of live streaming opportunities which I enjoyed a lot.
