In the bustling heart of the SMX Convention Center from June 14-16, 2024, the vibrant energy of TOYCON Evolution was captured live by the dynamic team at FPS Media Ph. This year marked their triumphant return to livestreaming the iconic event, bustling with Jpop stars, KPop artists, and local bands thrilling the attendees for three exhilarating days.
Reinvigorated Team with Promising Trainees
FPS Media Ph's coverage of TOYCON was bolstered by the fresh talents of their new trainees, Christian Paul Acuña and Ruetas Gerard. Acuña, a Mass Communication student at La Consolacion University, and Gerard, studying Criminology, showcased their promising abilities in handling the rapid pace and challenges of live production. Although occasionally distracted by the exhilarating performances, their seniors noted that this enthusiasm was part of the learning curve—a rite of passage they fondly remembered from their own early days.
Technological Leap in Live Streaming
This year's TOYCON livestream was not just another event; it was a showcase of FPS Media Ph’s significant upgrade in equipment. Featuring a six-camera setup enhanced by HollyLand wireless video transmitters and Saramonic COMM sets, the team navigated new technological challenges, ensuring seamless coverage. Despite persistent internet connectivity issues—a long-standing challenge at the venue—the team's preparedness allowed them to manage better than in previous years.
A Nostalgic Reunion and Professional Growth
The event also served as a nostalgic reunion for FPS Media Ph with longtime friends and production colleagues Christian Abueva and John Aldrich Maño. The shared history and camaraderie among the team members added an extra layer of excitement to the event, reinforcing their mantra: “Professionalism first, fanboying/fangirling later.”
Innovative New Services Unveiled
TOYCON Evolution also served as the perfect platform for FPS Media to unveil two cutting-edge event services. The first was a 360-degree video booth capable of accommodating up to five people simultaneously, providing a unique, immersive experience. The second innovation was a green screen video booth that allowed event-goers to reenact iconic scenes from popular culture—ranging from blockbuster movie moments to classic anime scenes. These services, now available for booking, represent FPS Media Ph's commitment to enhancing event experiences through innovative technology.
Looking Ahead
As FPS Media Ph continues to navigate the complexities of live event coverage, their participation in TOYCON Evolution 2024 stands as a testament to their dedication and growing expertise. With each event, they are learning, adapting, and slowly making a name for themselves in the realm of live streaming.
