My goal is always to make each production better than the last. For Goosethumps' first birthday celebration, we did that in emphatic fashion.
We needed to level up our visuals, and that meant getting a green screen. I found a recording studio with the perfect one, tall and wide to fully immerse our artists and allow for ample movement onstage. I also hired Tara Molson, a visual creator who works with some of the biggest festivals in the world, to create an arsenal of custom and Halloween-specific loops fit for five unique sets over a 4+ hour broadcast.
Day of show, Goosethumps procured and set up all AV production, and I operated OBS Studio as VJ and technical producer, controlling all visuals and scene transitions from open to close.
Hallowstream was a stunner according to our 280 unique Twitch viewers, thanks to an incredible talent bill that provided a spooky yet accessible mix of tunes, exhilarating optics, and greatly improved stream quality.
