Seen Presents reached out to Flux as TikTok needed a cutting-edge production solution for their annual Global & European Awards, one that would seamlessly blend innovation, engagement, and the high-quality broadcast standards Flux is known for.
The challenge was to create a scalable solution that also capture the dynamic energy of TikTok whilst remaining authentic to the platform and ensuring technical excellence across multiple regions…oh and did we mention it was going to be a world first using a four point spider camera system at the Round House in London!
For this project we collaborated directly with Seen Presents to develop both the creative and technical execution. One of our first tasks was to develop the run of show which would act as the blueprint for the event, tying together the talent and external activations as well as the live show.
On site our setup included an array of advanced camera solutions such as a Wire Cam, Agito buggy, PTZ cameras and RF operated cameras, all feeding into a robust multi-camera workflow. Pulling these feeds together on site were three OB trucks delivering a 4K video solution to the platform to maintain resolution for Portrait formats, whilst also ensuring our seamless high-end production standard.
Aside from vision mixing, graphics and VT play out in the trucks, we also utilised a profanity system to cover us for any over-excitable moments on the night.
A key feature of the broadcast was a live battle on stage using a custom built integration allowing two international stars the chance to battle it out in front of millions of fans.
This was TikToks’s largest award show to date, with both the EU and Global shows being a huge success on the platform. The stability and security that our solution delivered allowed both Seen and TikTok the opportunity to take a step back from the tech and focus on the event delivery, creating a seamless partnership across the entire production.
This groundbreaking approach set a new benchmark for live event production, demonstrating how TikTok’s brand could thrive in a premium, high-stakes broadcast environment.
