Event Casting™
With the current COVID-19 Pandemic hitting all of us, telling ‘your story’ has become much more complex. Some special events cannot wait for the pandemic to pass. Children will be born, loved ones will pass, and birthdays will happen.
To help our customers through these times, and to answer the changing paradigm of live online streaming and event feeds; HighWater is offering a full-service online Event Casting™ service for groups of any size.
These days, it has become common to livestream a special event on Facebook or YouTube. The quality is based on the call connection and skills of the person handling the camera or smartphone. This works reasonably well for a small group.
For events that serve larger groups, with perhaps multiple speakers, and specifically which viewers have watch-only capabilities, a more robust approach is needed. Add requirements for specific features, event recording from multiple cameras and/or post event edits and you need a professional video service company.
HighWater will match the right online broadcast services, video content mixing, pre-event coaching and live event control for about the price of licensing a large online service alone.
During the COVID-19 Pandemic, HighWater has broadcasted the largest online U.S. based funeral to date under the pandemic restrictions, with over three thousand online attendees.
Design Services
Your brand starts here.
A logo is often your company’s first impression and it only takes a single glance for a customer to either connect with your brand or decide to go in a different direction. HighWater offers branding and logo design services to help you make that right first impression with your target audience. Our copy writing and editorial services provide consistency and remove the risk off embarrassing errors in your multichannel message.
We offer website design services and build every site using responsive templates to ensure that it looks good and functions effectively at all screen sizes. We apply your logo, brand colors and fonts, and work with you to select photography and messaging. Finally, we take steps to optimize the site for search engines to further improve your chances of reaching your target audience.
We also can spread your message across multiple media channels, online training, presentations and virtual events providing a concise focused message to customers and influencers.
Drone Services
HighWater offers a variety of drone based services to both augment our production work and to provide drone-specific commercial technology to our customers.
Drones are most commonly known for their ability to provide incredible aerial videography. Our pilots can capture drone footage to enhance your videos by bringing in the ‘big picture’ to your work. Our production team can further edit and incorporate this footage into your video project for the best cinematic effect possible.
Less common, but rapidly growing in commercial services, is the use of drones in managing construction work, inspecting construction sites, surveying land areas, measuring large features from the air, and verifying map and land plat data. At HighWater, we employ FAA licensed drone pilots with specific commercial skills to survey, map, and inspect a variety of land feature types. Our team also works in conjunction with licensed surveyors and inspectors to function as their ‘pilot’ while they perform their tasks from the video feed and direct our pilots. This allows your staff to do their jobs, while we fly the drones, get airspace approvals, and provide the drones.
