Through Covid and Lockdown, work has been ticking along supporting TV Broadcasts, Corporate live-links and in-studio engineering for a multi-national company. But as the Starks of Winterfell say, “Winter is coming” and it’s back to focusing on pure remote work. And with that, it’s been a pleasure to be deliver to the front page of Twitch again! Thanks to Through The I, I was part of the broadcast team to stream the event for over 5k viewers to see.
Djarii, twitch gamer and body painter from the UK, did a collaboration with the concept artist Darek Zabrocki, who’s works are included in the games Witcher 3, Death Stranding and Horizon: Zero Dawn. The goal was to merge the body art make-up scene with illustrations with contributions from the Twitch community. One of Djarii’s past pieces was a celebration of PRIDE, bringing a mix of feathers and colours together to a character. Being recreated live with Darek, he was taking the look as inspiration to put her in a fantasy scene over the course of 5 hours. How that scene looked though was through polls for the viewers to pick where she was, what she’s doing and other fine details. Coupled with a few giveaways too to win physical print of the piece, the audience was kept involved.
Being remote, we had the had to bring both Djarii in the UK and Darek in Poland together live which we did with the new-normal production magic. We’ll go with magic as it’s the first time as part of the background crew we were referred to the Twitch Fairies, Goblins and Gnomes… which of those I am, I’m not sure, as in my career we’ve joked about being a Hobbit/Halfing…
It was a successful stream overall, with the final outcomes looking swish. Viewership was great, takes front and centre on Twitch Front page, the traffic driven had the number well over 5k, something that’s great for the platform!
