MCTV is available to capture your next event in High Definition and either livestream it via your website/service or ours, or record and edit it for later distribution. We offer clients the satisfaction of a professional product made to fit your vision, plus the satisfaction of knowing that you are benefiting the community by choosing a social enterprise for your video needs.

Government/Public Meetings

MCTV contracts with a number of organizations in San Mateo County to livestream/broadcast their regular public meetings. If you would like us to consider having us livestream/broadcast your one-time, or regular public meeting events, please email us at info@mctv.tv with:

  • the date and time of the event
  • a brief description, including the number of main participants
  • the event location
  • if possible, a drawing/map of the expected room and table layout

We can provide directors/operators to use existing in-house equipment, or we can arrange to bring our own. If the meeting is not in a location we have worked with in the past, we will need to perform a site visit ahead of time to allow us to plan the locations of our cameras, control station (“studio”) and related cable runs for power, audio, video, and networking.

Production Recording/Editing

If your event is not suited to, or (for some reason) can’t accomplish a livestream, our other production services can provide videographer(s) to record it and put together a professionally edited package that you can then distribute using your preferred media outlets.

Audience Engagement

MCTV can help you tailor and promote your event using multiple strategies:

  • Engage the audience that can’t make it to the event. We provide a web link that you can publicize before your event so people can watch from anywhere that has an internet connection — desktop computer, laptop, tablet, smart phone, SmartTV, etc.
  • Expand your reach by promoting your event with a dedicated link to your broadcast — in emails, on your website, Facebook, Twitter and any other internet platform.
  • Encourage participation by using a program moderator — MCTV staff or your own expert — to field online questions and comments.
  • Repurpose the program later in emails, social media posts, etc. Many organizations will use all or part of an HD video throughout the year to promote their organization.

Examples

The following are just a portion of the types of events we have produced.

  • Event videography (e.g. graduations, weddings, galas, etc.)
  • Public service announcements
  • Award presentations, performances, seminars, and conferences
  • Advocacy campaigns
  • Explanatory or instructional videos for your website, including embeddable YouTube videos
  • Volunteer recruitment videos
  • Donor engagement & feedback videos

Contact us to learn more. You can reach one of our helpful staff members by emailing your contact information and event details to us at info@mctv.tv, or by calling the studio at (650) 259-2343 and leaving a message. We’ll get back to you with a rate sheet and more information.
