Our clients at Wasserman reached out to us, eager to create a livestreaming event for several hundred gaming fans that would cruise around North San Diego Bay on a whale watching ship during TwitchCon, the semi-annual convention celebrating the culture of livestreaming, entertainment, esports, and internet culture. Our first challenge was to transform a rather dirty, rusty old ship into their “Neon Jungle” theme, while setting up a livestream stage on the sun deck and 2 levels of welcoming lounge space below. We started by bringing in a truckload of tropical plants and trees to set the scene, mixed in some neon lighting and event logos, graphic walls, a themed DJ booth and a 30’ live plant wall used for media hits and photo opportunities. Over the 2-day event we hosted hundreds of excited gamers who enjoyed our open bars, comfy lounge seating and live DJ set by Chromeo.
