人道协会向支持者直播拯救生命的任务

It is worth the bother? 对动物保护协会来说,在事件发生时拍摄视频,然后编辑成精美的包装,会更容易一些. The organization does that, 但现场直播使事件具有新闻的即时性,并以一种不同的方式吸引观众的兴趣. Even after a live video is over and is saved, 人们仍然在观看它,因为他们喜欢事件发展的自发性.

“我的背景是新闻,直播一直在我的世界里,人们喜欢直播,”洛夫特斯说. “Even when they’re watching it prerecorded, 我认为对观众来说,观看现场直播仍然是很有吸引力的. 它和成品的感觉完全不同. There’s no music, there’s nothing. It’s just raw.”

The Humane Society still uses a variety of streaming options, even though it’s leaning toward Facebook at the moment. 例如,当它想要一个行政地址留在内部时,它会在内部使用Brightcove. 对于公开视频,它在Facebook上的访问量很大,尽管只有当事件是新鲜的. On Facebook, views start strong but drop immediately. 另一方面,在YouTube上,lottus发现5年或5年以上的视频仍然表现不错.

Cellular Bonding Is a Game-Changer

Working with LiveU, Loftus says, has been a “game-changer.” The unit is easy to carry, 而且能够依靠一个在家的人来设置流并告诉他什么时候他在直播,这使得操作简单得多. LiveU设备夹在腰带上,让他在直播前监控音频和视频. 他使用LiveU Solo,因为它接受HDMI连接. 机组人员安装了两个USB Wi-Fi连接器和一个MiFi单元(如果在国外,可以在当地购买)。, with all three bonding to deliver a strong stream. 使用三个频道从来都不是问题,即使是1080p高清视频. 摄制组使用尼康810数码单反相机拍摄,偶尔也会使用索尼电子新闻采集(ENG)相机. 索尼则更为专业,有一个变焦镜头和两个麦克风插孔.

在动物保护协会家庭办公室的人用MacBook通过浏览器监控LiveU直播. 这个人可以设置编码率,并向客场球队发送消息,这样他们就知道自己什么时候连接上了网络,什么时候在看流媒体. Loftus prefers to set the stream but not go live right away. 这样他就有时间检查数据速率,以确保它足够强大. When everything is ready, a button tap takes them live.

LiveU将动物保护协会的视频直接发送到Facebook或YouTube上, so there’s no need for a CDN. HSUS社会团队的一名成员正在处理直播视频, responding to viewer comments or questions. The team will even bring viewer questions into the video, 让镜头前的主持人重复提问并回答.

人道协会也帮助被自然灾害困住的动物, and brings viewers along with live video. In October 2016, 一个六人小组前往南卡罗来纳州营救被洪水困住的动物, riding along with the National Guard. 洛夫特斯趟过齐腰深的水,用胶布把相机固定好,以防任何东西掉下来. He followed the team members as they rescued stranded cats, bringing the live experience to followers. The team went to areas were cats had been sighted, put them into carriers, 然后把他们带到一个紧急避难所,这样他们就可以和家人团聚了. 如果摄制组没能确保猫的安全,他们就会留下食物并监视该区域. During the 2-day mission, the team rescued approximately 50 cats, with viewers seeing much of it live.

动物保护协会团队使用LiveU Solo连接尼康数码单反或索尼ENG相机, 这使得他们可以从几乎任何地方可靠地传输实时信号.

While the Humane Society hasn’t done it yet, lottus计划将大型内部团队带入直播流. In multi-person rescues, 他怀疑,如果坐在办公室会议桌旁的人们能够看到现场的行动和指挥百家乐软件,直播视频可能会成为一个有用的工具.

At the moment, 洛夫特斯的团队是人道协会中唯一一个制作实时视频拍摄的团队, 但他想进一步发展,在世界各地创建多个团队. Humane Society International is expanding, 他说, 他还想培训欠发达国家的雇员或自由职业者记录救援行动, then coordinate all the feeds so followers can find them.

lottus发现,拍摄现场视频并不是一次性的体验. That live event feeds a whole ecosystem of video.

“When you go live, you’re recording as well, 所以你可以把现场直播拉下来,创造一个更小的故事, 无论是Facebook的30秒还是YouTube的更长时间,” Loftus explains. “Shoot a live feed so that you can have a live experience, and then take that live experience and edit that up, 无论是为媒体准备的剪报或B-roll,还是Facebook或YouTube上的短视频, and push it out to all your channels.”

Doing it for a good cause makes it all the more valuable.
