ROBO.CAMS
State-of-the-art robotic "Ai" cameras are coming and with them a whole new way of recording conferences, symposiums and lectures. How do they work and how much can they do? Will they change the way you look at filming? The professionals at SlidesLive are getting ready for action. They have already successfully used robotic cameras at dozens of events around the world. The next mission can begin. This time, the destination is the USA.
IDEA PILLARS
At the beginning of each project, we find three basic pillars on which to build a creative idea. Each of these pillars should best describe the identity, message and form of creative communication. Just as in geometry we need at least three points to fix a plane, we do the same for the basic IDEA VISUALIZATION.

PROFESSIONALS
The main super-heroes of our short promo-film are the professionals from the SlidesLive unit, who are ready to step in at any time and capture footage around the world. In the video, we emphasize the US region, which is the company's leading location.
In addition to the representatives of the professionals who are tasked with capturing footage and controlling the robotic cameras, the presenters are of course in the forefront. John and Sandra arrive on stage closely monitored by several cameras. The show can begin!
When designing the actors' costumes and styling, we kept in mind the simplicity and strictly professional look of black paint and black glasses. We then used the SlidesLive identity to support the story. The dominant superhero logo "S" with its distinctive target is then a significant signature.
As part of the casting process, we selected the actors from a total of approximately 80 candidates. In addition to the professional actors and actresses, real professionals from SlidesLive - non-actors - also took part in the shoot, bringing more authenticity and personality to the entire video.
So if you order SlidesLive services, it is possible that you will be visited by one of these professionals in black...
"Ai" ROBOTIC CAMERAS
The cameras in the video are the main weapon in the hands of professionals. Thanks to them, they gain almost super-powers to check-in a large number of conference rooms at the same moment. Thanks to special software that they can control from just a laptop, they are thus beginning a virtuoso job in the field of recording and streaming lectures. The cameras are stylised with LED tubes that magically illuminate them with a purple light, so that the viewer can instantly focus on the main motif of the scene. But Canon's special cameras in the real world, on the other hand, are very unobtrusive devices that take up minimal space because of the absence of an operator. With dual-axis camera focus control, auto focus and subject/presenter differentiation on set, this is truly a game changer device in the field of recording and streaming conferences and lectures.
CONFERENCE HALL
As mentioned at the beginning, the spaces themselves can have a sci-fi, surreal feel. The truth is that we were inspired by real architecture and existing conference spaces. Whether it is a passageway referring to the modern districts of London, conference buildings in the USA or the very dominant and unique Gong building in the Vítkovice area of Ostrava in the Czech Republic. The industrial and futuristic architecture is meant to underline the cyberpunk atmosphere and futuristic feel of the technology and the message : The future is now!
POSTPRODUCTION / CGi
We used post-production techniques massively during the realization. Many scenes were realized using 3D graphics, 3D animation, Matte painting and techniques known from the film trick and effects (VFX). Thanks to these post production techniques, the shoot itself took less than one day in a green studio (Studio Pokrok in Prague).
The clever combination of live-action acting and digital environments thus allowed us, at disproportionately lower cost and time, to create big scenery and move our actors literally thousands of miles.
