[Recruiting new staff] Due to the expansion of our business, we are now looking to recruit new staff. For those who are interested in photography and editing, or who would like to be involved in the production of international events, including video and streaming. We are a team that creates "valuable event experiences" at a place where various countries and cultures intersect.

There are increasing opportunities for corporate seminars and information sessions to be held online. However, if the video or audio quality is poor or if problems occur during the broadcast, viewers' ratings may drop. This is where seminar distribution services are gaining attention.

Photographing business events is not just a matter of recording, but an important task that also influences subsequent internal sharing and external communication. Especially at small to medium-sized closed events, differences in filming arrangements and advance preparations affect the quality of photos and videos, and ultimately the overall impression of the event. With the right photography by a professional photographer, it is possible to capture the story of your event.

The cost of event photography is not simply determined by the duration of the shoot or the number of photographers. The final price is calculated based on a combination of factors, such as the scale and content of the event, the filming arrangements, editing work, and delivery method. In fact, filming costs include various items such as the cameraman's labor and equipment costs, as well as travel costs and costs for lighting and sound staff.

Equipment problems that occur during meetings and conferences can disrupt smooth progress and reduce participant satisfaction. I'm sure everyone has experienced problems such as no audio, no video, or interrupted streaming at least once. In fact, various problems occur at live streaming and hybrid events, such as audio and video issues and connection problems. In this article, we will explain the causes and solutions to equipment problems that often occur at meetings and conf
