During the 2017 elections in Paris, the voices and coverage surrounding Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen. As a result, many of the other party leaders felt like their voices were drowned out by mainstream media and took it upon themselves to utilise the power of social media to host another debate; L’Autre Débat. This was an initiative led by Change.Org, Voxe, Stig and CivicTech, partnered with Facebook’s Public Policy team.
To capture the other party leaders, we used Grass Valley’s LDX series cameras, running into a Tricaster 8000 and then streamed to the various Facebook pages via Streamshark CDN. For the audio infrastructure, we stayed nimble and used Sennheiser ew300 G4 series lavalier and handheld microphones, coupled with a Yamaha QL1 for mixing.
