Media and Publishing Video Production Built for the Bay Area

Media brands live on content volume. A single summit can feed weeks of articles, clips and podcast episodes if it is captured properly. Argus HD records every panel cleanly and delivers clips your editorial team can publish fast.

We support publishers, podcasters and newsroom events with live switching, multi-platform simulcasts and studio podcast production in South San Francisco.

See how this fits with our event video production, live streaming and corporate video services.

Planning your production

What media and publishing teams should plan for

Live podcasts, panel discussions, author events and editorial shows are judged by their audio first and their pictures second. The best productions are built to be cut into more content afterwards.

  • Audio first. Individual microphones for every voice, a dedicated audio engineer and backup recordings of each channel.
  • Isolated recordings. Record every camera separately so editors can build full episodes, clips and trailers after the show.
  • Multi-platform delivery. Simulcast to your website, YouTube and social platforms at once, with graphics that match your publication.
  • Live audience. Plan sightlines, lighting and audience microphones so the room feels like part of the show.

See how this came together for The Ezra Klein Show live forum, then tell us about your next live episode.
