Taking place at the heart of Calgary's outdoor performance community,
ContainR, Change YYC's event featured talents in music and dance from
across the city coming together for the common goal of raising money
to support black and other racialized youth in the community. An
all-day event, a steady stream of people coming and going was crucial
to its success.
Donating livestream and archive services as our contribution to the
event, Electric Air streamed the full duration of the all-day event to
Change YYC's social media channels. Multiple cameras, some roaming and
some operated from afar, enabled a visually engaging and
thumb-stopping stream. Helped by the bias of many social media
algorithms to serve live-streamed content to a local audience
preferentially, the stream became a direct window into the event for
those at home. After noticing the stream on their feed constantly
through the day, many then to make the excursion down.
