The Space, with funding from Arts Council England presents a free webinar for arts organisations and artists who want to film or live-stream their work online.

Whether you’re thinking about how you might want to capture a touring production you’ve had to cancel, or what you might offer from your bedroom right now, our speakers will offer ideas, guidance and some fundamental dos and don’ts.

We covered:

• What to think about when planning a capture or live-stream
• Higher and lower cost approaches to filming
• The pros and cons of live-streaming vs. on demand
• Enhancing the quality and impact of your production
