Towards the end of the global COVID pandemic we took on the challenge of producing a global live-streaming event for the virtual experiences platform Moment House with Canadian folk band Wild Rivers. Filmed live at Le Poisson Rouge in our creative agency home of NYC we embraced the challenge to shoot and edit the entire intimate gig with a small grassroots team.   We shot everything for this live-streaming gig and edited everything together to create a long-form content experience for existing fans and new listeners. The wider angles were shot using the venue’s own cameras to help us make the most of the stage, the audience, and most importantly the artists. We mixed these cameras with two RED Komodo’s on gimbals for an all encompassing visual story of this amazing show. We put together a full content package for the team including a full 1 hour 30 min edit, trailer, sizzle, intros, and more. For those of you that have the password, you can watch the Wild Rivers full live stream in the player above. For everyone else, enjoy the visuals from the sizzle reel and our image gallery below.

In a time when the world was paused by lockdowns, RIOT reimagined live performance by turning limitations into creative triumphs. Building on our groundbreaking visuals for Call Ne When You Land—from the stirring narratives of the Official Music Video, Summertime Low, to Amaranth Moonlight—this live session stands as a testament to the unyielding spirit of creativity.

With Zoom as our portal, we engineered a near-zero latency experience through a blend of optimized network configurations and smart tweaks. The result was a live session that pulsed with the raw energy and intimacy of an in-person performance—proving that even in isolation, connection could be instantaneous. To capture the essence of every note and nuance, we deployed bespoke GoPro 360 camera packages to Luke and Ben in advance of the shoot. This was about embracing a multidimensional view of creativity. While the final edit showcased a clean, elegant framing to spotlight the music, the underlying 360 capture laid the groundwork for limitless creative exploration. It was our way of ensuring that every angle, every emotion, was preserved for those who dared to see beyond the obvious. Soundscapes […]
