Blackmagic Design today announced that Austin, TX based concert film technology company TourGigs used Blackmagic products, including ATEM 1 M/E Production Studio 4K switchers, for live production and live streaming at the 11th annual Switchfoot Bro-Am fundraiser at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, CA. TourGigs worked with broadcast journalism students from nearby Carlsbad High School to run the production of the event, which drew a crowd of 20,000 attendees and was streamed to 75,000 more viewers.
Organized by Grammy® award winning alternative rock band Switchfoot, the annual Bro-Am fundraiser aims to give back to the local San Diego community, including raising money for homeless youth programs. The 2015 event included a full day of surf competitions, featuring surfing legends Rob Machado and Damien Hobgood, as well as live music on the sand, capped off by a Switchfoot concert on the beach. Since the event’s inception in 2005, the fundraiser has raised more than $1 million for San Diego children’s charities.
In conjunction with ViaSat, which provided satellite bandwidth and technology for the event, TourGigs provided the necessary AV technology and expertise to the Carlsbad High School students, who run the #1 rated high school daily broadcast program in the country. With guidance from the professionals, the students operated the cameras, did the live switching and performed as the on air talent.
