Google/Sydney Opera House - Vivid Sydney

FRONTROW Vivid Sydney

We worked in conjunction with Google and the Sydney Opera House to create a custom FRONTROW YouTube gadget for the Sydney Vivid Festival. The gadget was to allow for live streaming of events and to allow users to take high quality "photographs" of the event. The "photograph" could then be edited/cropped/filters added and then shared across social media platforms such as Facebook, Google+ and Twitter.

Responsibilities included organising the scoping, technical functionalities, creative executions, all aspects of live streaming/events. This FRONTROW YouTube gadget had never been attempted before and was completely customised. Our deadlines were incredibly tight and nine different parties were involved to bring this to life. This project was particularly demanding due to the neccesary management of all nine different parties's expectations and responsibilities.

Sydney Opera house were incredibly happy with the results and Google Analytics showed that there were over 23,000 visitors to the site during one of the two hour live events and over 5,300 shares. The project was a huge success. The gadget was originally only going to be available during the period of the Vivid Festival but remained a live showcase for an additional year. It is now an aspect to all future Vivid Sydney Festivals.
