THE INSOMNIA GAMING FESTIVAL
In 2022 Player1 Events approached us to produce and manage the esports content for their flagship event, The Insomnia Gaming Festival. For 5 consecutive shows we were put in charge of producing and directing the Esports Stage. Running a 17 camera rig we produced 4 days of gaming content at each show.
Alongside running the Esports stage, we also produced and edited additional VT content, graphics and photography to supplement the broadcasts. This was done onsite and delivered the same day for use in stream content and socials. Pre show our team was also responsible for the creation of all graphical assets and the creation of content to supplement the stages. Onsite we then integrated those graphics and created any content, managing the Talent in the process.
Across all Insomnia shows we worked with external partners, some of these clients included; Riot, ESL, EE, The British Esports Federation, the RAF and the TF2 Worlds Finals. We also ran several Creator Matches and even some gameshows for Player1, helping to diversify their content and engage with different audiences.
In addition to producing the Esports stage, we also provided all cameras to the Main & Expo Stages at all shows. We then edited and delivered all Insomnia Stage content for sharing with partners and for Player1 to upload on their channels.
Overall, we deployed the whole High Viz Media Group team to the event, as well as outsourcing additional staff and working alongside the event runners provided by Player 1 Events. The result was the collaborative effort of everyone involved to pull off multiple huge stages, with a wide variety of content.
