SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — To deepen the connection with users, Hollyland celebrated its seventh anniversary with a special event called WE CONNECT. The event brought together 30 amazing creators from 17 different countries, including Simon Cade (@DSLRguide), Lucas and Dani (@casal.rec), Antonio Wimmer (@Antoniowimmer), Hossam Atef Farouk (@antikkahossam), and others. The event’s theme, WE CONNECT, starts from Hollyland’s mission—”Made to Inspire.” Hollyland believes that the connection between the brand and users lies in providing great filming tools that empower creativity. The 2024 WE CONNECT event aims to break down cultural and geographical barriers, bringing creators together from all over the world from diverse backgrounds to spark new ideas and inspire each other.

Through brand study tours and in-depth exchanges, Hollyland hopes to listen to the users’ true hearts and pinpoint the future direction of innovative products.

This fusion of thoughts aligns perfectly with Hollyland’s core mission—to enable creativity to bloom freely through high-quality equipment. This is not only a tribute to the achievements of the past seven years but also a guiding light for future development.

2024 WE CONNECT Event Highlights

Creators Gather: Exploring New Trends in Live Streaming

On the first day of the WE CONNECT event, all creators came together to explore new trends in live streaming. They were divided into three groups through a lottery to join the live-streaming challenge. The task was to set up a live streaming studio from scratch and try out Hollyland’s latest VenusLiv V2 live streaming camera to sell products. The VenusLiv V2 is easy to use and has a stable internet connection. Compared to ordinary cameras, it makes the live-streaming process more stable and efficient, helping streamers get started swiftly and adapt quickly to new live-streaming scenes.

During the live streaming challenge, the creators promoted the LARK M2 microphone in a live selling session. In today’s competitive live streaming market, grabbing the audience’s attention with unique and novel live streaming styles is crucial. The three challenge teams had spirited discussions on how to achieve this and finally completed the challenge through sitcom acting, reenacting classic movie scenes, and sharing professional product knowledge. Through doing a simulation scenario of live streaming, creators from different countries deeply experienced the unique charm and market potential of live selling. This process helped them quickly form strong teamwork relationships, break the ice of the first meeting, and spark creative inspiration. In addition, it set a fun and cooperative tone for this event, allowing creators to improve their skills and understanding of live-streaming equipment through enjoyable competitions.

Roundtable Discussion: Hot Topic in Tech and Innovation

All creators and Hollyland brand friends had a meaningful roundtable discussion. They shared unique and interesting insights, had extensive discussions on the hot topics of the film and television industry in their respective regions, exchanged new ideas for product innovation, and explored potential future partnership models. The main goal of this roundtable discussion was to create an open environment and encourage everyone to share their insights, ideas, and thoughts about the industry, product innovation, new technologies such as AI, and more. For example, on the topic of AI’s impact on the film industry, everyone expressed their opinions and acceptance of this industry trend. Anjas Maradita mentioned that he has been using AI to help with Instagram content creation for six months. According to Anjas, mastering the AI technology has made the content more creative and significantly improved efficiency.

This roundtable meeting was not only a great opportunity for Hollyland to receive some fantastic industry development ideas and product innovation suggestions but also a chance to promote a deep connection between Hollyland and its supporters. Through this discussion, they were able to explore closer ways of working together, strengthen their relationships, and set the stage for long-term development in the future. Hollyland doesn’t see these creators as partners but as friends and like-minded peers.

Hengdian Co-creation: Honoring the Film and TV Industry

On the second and third days of the WE CONNECT, creators gathered in Hengdian, China, also known as “China’s Hollywood“. They were divided into two teams to work on a film and television co-creation project focusing on traditional Chinese costume drama. The hardest part of this project was how to unite all creators from different cultural backgrounds and team up for the first time to complete tasks such as setting, shooting, and editing within just eight hours. Despite initial doubts, the professional creators managed to overcome challenges and work closely together to achieve incredible results. David, one of the creators, remarked, “It’s incredible how much we accomplished in just 6 hours of shooting.” Dani, another creator, added, “Producing a film in 6 hours was a challenge that helped me grow immensely, but the best part was, without a doubt, meeting and learning from so many creative minds from around the world.”

This co-creation project is a creative challenge and a tribute to China’s film and television industry and its splendid history. Hengdian, as an important birthplace of China’s film and television industry, has been the setting for countless classic works and creative dreams. Here, creators not only experienced the charm of shooting traditional costume dramas but also gained a deeper understanding of the unique charm and creative essence of Chinese film culture. Through thoughtful comparison of the script and in-depth exploration of the characters, the creators felt the efforts and enthusiasm of Chinese film and television workers in their artistic pursuit and cultural inheritance. Simon mentioned, “The work ethic and creative problem-solving I saw from both teams during the co-filming project has made me re-evaluate my attitude towards filmmaking. Respect the dedication, and it paid off with the results, too.”

Hollyland’s ecosystem products played an important role in this project, helping the team to easily cope with equipment challenges and save precious creation time. The Hollyland transmission system and intercom system significantly improved the communication efficiency of the crew and made the shooting process smoother. With the successful completion of the co-creation project, the creators were full of excitement and emotion, realizing that they had not only become a team but also creators who connected and achieved each other and jointly created unforgettable and precious memories of this journey. Upie said, “It was incredible to witness how you, the best professionals in your fields, set aside your ego and came together as a team to collaborate on the short film project. I’ve seen your amazing social media profiles, and it surprised me how you remained humble and down-to-earth throughout the process. Not many successful people can do that. I’m amazed at how Hollyland brought together such incredible individuals who deeply understand collaboration and humanity.”

Vlog Challenge: A Perfect Fusion of Chinese Culture and Creator Ideas

On the final day of the WE CONNECT event, all creators gathered in beautiful Hangzhou, a picturesque city known for its rich history, cultural charm, and stunning natural scenery. The last challenge of this journey was a Travel Vlog Challenge. While tasting Chinese food and scenery, the creators used Hollyland’s microphone and shooting equipment to record this journey, showing the unique style of Hangzhou City with real sound and pictures. They captured the essence of Hangzhou, from the tranquillity of West Lake to the bustling life in the ancient streets and alleys; everyone deeply connects through the lens and sound to create a special “cultural memoir”.

This challenge allows creators to immerse themselves in Chinese culture, get inspired, and form emotional connections. As WE CONNECT promotes, Hollyland is a welcoming space and always a harbor for global video creators. Hollyland is like a silent and solid partner in their creative journey, motivating them to keep exploring, capturing, and sharing their experiences.

Heartfelt Toast: Deep Connections Formed During this Event

The event left a profound impact on each creator, with many expressing their gratitude for the connections made. “Hollyland’s team left a lasting impact on me. They truly understand the philosophy of their product: connection. It’s not just about the product or technology—those evolve with time—but about the culture and essence behind it: creating connections. I choose products for their features, but I choose and trust brands for their vision, for seeing myself grow alongside them.” shared Upie. “Not only did we have an amazing team, but we also made lifelong friends. Thank you for every moment, guys! “Dani added.

Nigel reflected, “In a world where the pressure to create art through films, photos, and content grows even more, the Hollyland brand day taught me that I shouldn’t only connect with others and the brand that I love but also reconnect with myself again to keep the passion burning. ” Alberto emphasized, “Every moment we had confirmed to me the idea that boundaries are meant to be dismantled, that we are just a big community of amazing human beings, so thanks!” Shootguru emphasized, ” It wasn’t just about the work we did together but the connections we formed along the way. ” Corey remarked on the dedication displayed, saying, “Seeing how dedicated you were and how considerate you were to everyone was beautiful, and I’ve never seen a company go to such lengths to create an environment for us to succeed and connect in.”

Published

on

By

The facility features industry-grade virtual production, preparing learners for an industry estimated to grow 14.7 per cent each year and be worth US$10.07 billion globally by 2032.

SINGAPORE, Jan. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) unveiled its BeyondReality Studio, a one-stop playground of emerging immersive media technologies.

Virtual Production is an exciting and rapidly evolving field that combines traditional filmmaking techniques with cutting-edge digital technology. It involves the use of computer-generated imagery (CGI), augmented reality (AR), motion capture, and other technologies to create realistic environments and effects on virtual sets.

What you can expect in a virtual production studio:

LED Volume Walls: These replace traditional green screens, allowing real-time visualisation of virtual sets. This technology was notably used in “The Mandalorian”.Camera Tracking System: Allows the virtual environment to synchronise dynamically with the camera movements to achieve a realistic and immersive experience.Unreal Engine: A powerful real-time 3D creation platform that enables photorealistic rendering and real-time adjustments.

The global virtual production market is projected to reach US$10.07 billion by 2032[1]. This growth is driven by the increasing demand for high-quality visual effects in movies, TV shows, and commercials, as well as the rising adoption of virtual production technologies in the gaming industry. Major players like Disney, Epic Games, and ILM (Industrial Light & Magic) are heavily investing in virtual production. Disney, for instance, has extensively used LED video walls for in-house shoots, significantly reducing the need for on-location filming.

The Asia-Pacific region, particularly China, Japan, and South Korea, is also seeing rapid growth due to rising investments in the entertainment industry.

NYP’s investment in this state-of-the-art facility underscores its commitment to preparing students for the future. The BeyondReality Studio will provide students with unparalleled opportunities to develop skills in CGI, augmented reality, motion capture, and more, ensuring they are well-equipped to meet the demands of the entertainment and gaming industries.

NYP will be the first polytechnic to receive the official certification of a Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 Surround Audio Studio – to supplement the audio productions in the BeyondReality Studio – ensuring that soundtracks produced within the studio can be accurately reproduced worldwide, at the highest quality.

The studio also references Hollywood-standards, while ensuring space optimisation and creating conducive learning experiences. The studio’s LED volume wall is optimised for mid-to-close shots, making it an ideal training environment and the perfect size suitable for local productions. This allows industry partners to explore and experiment with innovative technologies and streamline production workflows.

Mr Albert Lim, Director at NYP’s School of Design & Media, said: “We are focused on equipping our students with more than just qualifications – we want to prepare them with the emerging skills required for them to stay at the forefront of media production, whether for further studies or career growth. With our new BeyondReality Studio, our students will learn what it takes to create their very own next-gen immersive masterpiece.”

Students across different disciplines in NYP will also get to work together on real-life virtual production projects. School of Business Management students can manage production shoots through set operations, scripting, and scheduling, while School of Design & Media students create virtual assets and integrate them into live environments using tools like Unreal Engine – an industry-leading 3D creation software. This collaborative approach equips our learners with relevant experience in working across teams on large-scale projects.

Final-year Diploma in Animation, Games & Visual Effects student, Choy Yu Feng, will be getting hands-on with the new facility in his final semester. “Virtual production is really up and coming, it will be very useful for me when I graduate with experience in these new technologies and some skills under my belt. I think it will help me stand out,” he said.

Creative media professionals can also take on a plethora of courses – from short courses to specialist diplomas – to upskill and reskill themselves in emerging immersive media technologies.

The BeyondReality Studio will be officially opened by Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Digital Development and Information, Tan Kiat How, on 24 Jan 2025.
