HERE & NOW is a Melbourne live streaming production company that operates at the broadcast end of live video — not the consumer end. We build multi-camera rigs that work in unpredictable locations, switch in real time, and deliver a reliable signal regardless of what the location throws at us.
Most live streaming setups are designed for controlled environments: a stage, a studio, a room with reliable Wi-Fi. We built our infrastructure for the opposite — roaming camera operators, heritage buildings with no cabling infrastructure, outdoor locations, moving vehicles. Our LiveU LU600 bonded cellular backpack units combine multiple cellular connections into a single resilient feed, so a camera operator can move anywhere on location without the broadcast flickering.
That infrastructure comes from our Live Cinema work — real-time filmmaking performed in front of live audiences with zero pre-recorded footage, no second takes, and no margin for a dropped frame. When your standard is no safety net, everything you build is overbuilt for a normal live streaming brief.
"The infrastructure we use for live streaming was built for live cinema — a format where a dropped signal doesn't just mean a buffering icon, it means the film is over."
— Michael Beets, Creative DirectorMulti-Camera Live Streaming
We run multiple cameras simultaneously, switched live to produce a broadcast that reflects the event — not a locked-off single-camera capture. Each camera has its own bonded cellular uplink, so signal redundancy scales with the operator count. A live director makes editorial decisions in real time: cut, hold, push in. The broadcast is made as it's transmitted.
This is how we produced Echo, No Resonance across multiple Melbourne CBD locations, Magdalen through the buildings of Abbotsford Convent, and Turn Around through the corridors of a working school at night. The brief for a live streaming client is the same brief — executed with the same infrastructure and the same live director.
Bonded Cellular Field Streaming
Fixed network infrastructure — ethernet runs, venue Wi-Fi — is the biggest single point of failure in most live streaming setups. We avoid it. Our LiveU LU600 field units each bond multiple independent cellular connections into one resilient stream. The loss of any single carrier doesn't interrupt the broadcast. Operators can move outdoors, indoors, across buildings, through crowds.
This makes us the right choice for events that can't be cabled: outdoor festivals, heritage venues, multi-site productions, moving subjects. See how LiveU's bonded cellular technology underpins every HERE & NOW production.
Live Event & Festival Streaming
Festivals, theatre productions, cultural events, institutional broadcasts, corporate presentations, awards ceremonies. If it happens once and needs to be seen beyond the room, we can produce the stream. We handle the full production chain: camera operators, live director, switching, encoding, and delivery to your platform — YouTube Live, Vimeo, RTMP, custom endpoints.
We are based in Melbourne and work across Victoria and nationally. For events with logistical complexity — unusual venues, roaming action, simultaneous multi-location capture — we are the team to call.
Every HERE & NOW live streaming production has run on the same infrastructure — and none of them have dropped a broadcast. These are the productions that prove it.
What is a live streaming production company?
A live streaming production company handles the full technical and creative execution of capturing and broadcasting a live event to an online audience — multi-camera setup, live switching between cameras, encoding, and reliable delivery to a streaming platform. We go beyond a basic streaming setup: we bring the director, the infrastructure, and the capability to stream from locations that most setups can't handle.
What locations can you stream from in Melbourne?
Any location. Our bonded cellular field units don't rely on venue Wi-Fi or ethernet. We have streamed from Melbourne's CBD streets, heritage buildings, working schools, and open-air festival sites. If a location has mobile signal — even partial — we can build a reliable uplink from it.
How many cameras do you run for a live stream?
That depends on the event. Most productions run two to four cameras, each with its own bonded cellular uplink. We have run up to five simultaneous camera feeds in a single production. Camera count is determined by the editorial needs of the event — what it takes to make a broadcast that reflects what's actually happening, not just cover it from a fixed position.
Which streaming platforms do you deliver to?
YouTube Live, Vimeo Live, Facebook Live, any RTMP endpoint, and custom SRT destinations. If you have a platform or CDN in mind, bring it to the brief. We'll confirm compatibility at the production planning stage.
How do I get a quote?
Use the contact page and describe your event: date, location, expected audience size, number of cameras you think you need, and any platform requirements. We'll come back with a production brief and quote within 3 business days.
