The Challenge
Capturing graduations on video is always important, but especially with this one happening in person for the first time since the pandemic. The William James College was two hours away from starting their commencement ceremony. The Encore production team had everything set and in place until their camera operator covering the graduation became unexpectedly ill. No problem.
The Solution
As we know, from time to time unexpected things happen. The production team acted immediately and tapped into Encore’s vast resources to find the best backup camera operator. They called Niko, a technical supervisor and skilled cameraman, who was breaking down meeting rooms at a close by Boston hotel. Niko was ready and jumped into action. He quickly arrived, checked in with the production team leader, set up, white-balanced the camera, and was ready to rock.
The Result
Niko’s camera expertise, collaboration, and customer service skills helped create a truly special ceremony. His work not only projected the live event onto the large format screens, but it was also recorded to preserve the memories. The families were able to see their graduates up close as they received their diplomas, acknowledging their commitment and hard work. The families, customer, and venue partner were extremely pleased.Explore More Solution Success Stories.
