It was a fantastic to stream a 90 minute, multi-camera live broadcast of the the official ceremony to declare Southend-on-Sea a city on Tuesday, with HRH The Prince of Wales and HRH The Duchess of Cornwall in attendance.
My team were assisted by a number of 2nd year TV & Film students from South Essex College who, with a little direction, very capably operated cameras, sound equipment and generally helped make things run smoothly.
The livestream was watched live by around 1,700 people (so no pressure!) and had over 12k views within the first 24 hours.
Not only were we honoured to be asked to livestream the official ceremony to mark Southend’s City status, but also delighted to be asked to document the Royal visit to Southend. Please check out our short film. I hope you like it!
