Shooting my side of the footage from my home office-turned-studio, I produced and edited this longform interview to be an insightful look at Holy Wow Stuidos.

Utilizing OBS I have built in automatic systems that actually allow me to manage this stream and host AND handle gaming tech all at the same time.

The secret to a shoot like this is knowing the equipment, coming in with a game plan, and being light enough on your feet that you can adapt in any scenario.

How do you stream to two different audiences, on two very different platforms, in two VERY different formats, all while performing in front of a live crowd and keep EVERYONE entertained?

As the team lead and senior producer on UpUpDownDown at WWE, bringing a level of quality and entertainment to our livestream offering was arguably my largest contribution.

6 Cameras, 14 WWE Superstars, 2 giant mascots, and enough water balloons to fill an inflatable pool. This is what I had to wrangle in order to pull off the controlled chaos of the UpUpDownDown Summer Games.

Gaming has been a part of my identity since I was three years old and since the release of Street Fighter 2 in arcades, Capcom’s 1-on-1 combat series has held a special place in my heart.

Imagine being handed the ultimate toy you’ve always dreamed of as a child—a massive playset with all the features you could imagine, intricate and complex. That’s exactly how I felt when I was given the responsibility of producing our very first WWE 2K ratings.

Some things you can’t plan. Sometimes you are just thrown into a situation and have to build your story in the moment. This has been my experience with on-location BTS shoots.

Typically during a remote production all participants are being captured on camera from the comfort of their own home. But what do you do during an asymmetrical shoot?

Utilizing some inginuity, researching technology and working through the needs of our talent, we were able to get them to not just remotely record, but PLAY GAMES as if they were in the same room.

Rollout was a show that had started on UpUpDownDown before I joined the team, however as A D&D fan and DM of many years, my experience and knowledge was vital to future seasons and really turning it into the appointment viewing it became.
