For the fourth consecutive year, Halucinated Studios livestreamed the High School of Art & Design’s graduation ceremony, delivering a seamless and emotional experience for students, staff, and families watching from across the globe.
What Makes Our Graduation Livestreaming Special?
We treat each graduation livestream not just as a broadcast, but as a moment of legacy. That’s why schools across NYC trust Halucinated Studios for professional, reliable, and visually compelling graduation livestreaming:
✅ 5-camera professional setup for comprehensive coverage
✅ Clean audio feed from the school’s soundboard
✅ Custom-branded graphics and overlays that honor your school’s identity
✅ Real-time integration of presentations and video content
✅ Full downloadable recording for families and faculty
From walk-ups to speeches, every milestone moment is captured in full clarity and style.
We’re proud to be a certified NYC Department of Education vendor (Vendor ID: HAL12888) and a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE). We understand the standards and procedures that public schools require—and we deliver on them with consistency and care.
“We’ve streamed this school’s graduation four years in a row. Every time, it’s about more than cameras—it’s about capturing legacy.”
At its core, live streaming isn’t just about cameras and cables — it’s about inclusion.
Here’s how we brought the High School of Art & Design’s graduation to hundreds of living rooms:
1. Scout the Venue
Before the big day, we conduct a full tech scout. We assess audio and video needs, cable runs (including up to the balcony if needed), and identify any gaps we need to fill with our own gear.
2. Design Branded Assets
Graduation is a once-in-a-lifetime event — the livestream visuals should reflect that.
Using the school’s flyer designs, we created a full graphics package including:
“Starting Soon” screens
Camera overlays
Presentation split-screen layouts
Interpreter camera options
3. Load-In & Setup
We prefer setting up the day before to test every camera, projector, and audio line. When that’s not possible, we ensure at least 3–5 hours pre-event for setup and troubleshooting — because in live production, things happen.
4. Go Live
We stream the event directly to the school’s preferred platform — whether YouTube, Facebook, or a private Vimeo link with an embeddable code for the school’s website.
No easy-to-update website? No problem — we offer web support too.
Ideal for:
High school graduations
Moving-up ceremonies
Award nights and honors assemblies
Performances, shows, and talent showcases
Parent engagement events and more
