Live Streaming Sydney
Lumberjack Film live streams events in Sydney with a three camera unit from $300 an hour, GST included. Most one hour town halls or hybrid panels land between $2,000 and $4,500 depending on venue, microphones and virtual guests. The whole rig travels in one road case, we stream to YouTube, LinkedIn, Vimeo, Teams or your own page, and you get the full recording afterwards.

Common questions
How much does it cost to live stream an event in Sydney? From $300 an hour with a 5 hour minimum. A one hour hybrid town hall with three cameras is typically $2,000 to $4,500 including GST.
Does hybrid cost more than online only? Barely. The production cost is about the same; the saving in going online-only is the venue and catering.
What platforms can you stream to? YouTube, LinkedIn Live, Vimeo, Facebook, Microsoft Teams, Zoom webinars, or an embedded player on your own site. We can stream to several at once.
What if the venue internet drops out? We run bonded cellular as a backup and switch over automatically.
Can remote speakers join? Yes. They dial in and appear on the stream and on a screen in the room so the hosts can see them.
Do we get a recording? Yes, the full program and individual camera recordings, delivered within 48 hours.
How early do you need access? Two to three hours before going live. Pack down takes under an hour.
Can you stream in Melbourne or interstate? Yes. Melbourne is bookable online. Other states quoted on request.
