THE CHALLENGE
About MxD
MxD, a manufacturing innovation center with 300+ partners, hosts annual conferences and summits featuring 5-8 sessions per day with hundreds of industry leaders. For 5+ years, they contracted one of the top audio-visual teams - 5Wire Production. 5Wire needed a camera operator and editor who could handle multi-day events, multi-camera setups, and deliver polished content within 2 weeks. Reliability was essential: same quality, event after event, year after year.
What made this complex:
Multi-day stamina: 1-3 day events with full-day programming
Live presentations: Real-time recording, no retakes
Professional audience: Manufacturers, tech executives, government officials expecting professional documentation
Internal use requirements: Content for organizational records, stakeholder reports, member access
HOW IT WORKED
Pre-Production Setup
Coordinated with 5Wire's Technical Director for session schedule, camera positioning, audio/lighting, client expectations.
Event day: Set up 3-camera configuration, position for optimal coverage, coordinate with AV crew, run camera checks.
Live Event Recording
Operated camera station throughout full-day sessions (5-8 speakers per day and guest panels), captured clean professional footage of every presentation, adapted in real-time to speaker movement and audience interaction. Solo station operation on smaller events; integrated with full crew on larger productions.
Post-Production Delivery
Edited full conference sessions (45 minutes to 1.5 hours each), designed format for consistency across all MxD content, selected music and created graphics matching MxD's brand, delivered within 2 weeks.
