BackStory
The idea is a live stream where we promote games from the Google Play Store and give the audience flash deals on said games. It was selected to be an 8 hour live show. All my gaming experience from playing to making games finally came in handy.
Pre-Show
In the initial stages of the project, I had the creative freedom to conceptualize segments, skits, and pitch lines. As we progressed further into the show's development, I took on the responsibility of researching and refining ideas for all of the applications featured. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to travel to Orlando and play the games on set, ensuring they were refined to the proper level for the show. Additionally, I took on the exciting challenge of designing a phone-only run of the show
Show Time
I ensured that each game was prepared and ready to be projected on the main screen, and during any moments of silence, the crew would signal to me when to swap out the phone being used. These transitions were typically around 10-15 seconds long.
Throughout the show, there were minor setbacks such as phones overheating or not connecting, which required me to perform quick and efficient problem-solving to keep the show running smoothly. These experiences were incredibly rewarding, and I enjoyed the opportunity to think on my feet and adapt to unexpected challenges.
There were also moments where I had to brief influencers and help them sign into their accounts just seconds before they went on stage, which added an extra level of excitement to the experience..
Extras
As we worked on developing gameplay segments, the lead designer and I collaborated on creating ideas for gameplay screens that showcased the influencers, deals, and actual gameplay. Here are some early versions of the designs we came up with:

This was an incredible and unique experience for me in my career, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would love to have more opportunities to work on set productions like this in the future. The experience allowed me to meet and collaborate with many talented individuals who were all working towards a common goal. It was a great learning experience to witness firsthand the amount of work, people, and energy that goes into producing a successful show.
