Punch Drunk excels at live production.
We’re at our best when the clock is ticking — concerts, pro gaming & eSports, conferences, exhibitions, auctions — directing event broadcasts in realtime, producing the media used during and after the show, and designing the complex systems that make it all work. Our services most often fit into one of the six categories below.
Virtual Events
Transition your live event to virtual. Our virtual event services will recreate your live event for a web-based audience at home. We use robotic cameras, minimal crew with full PPE, and high-efficiency workflows to keep production values high at a safe social distance. Learn more >

Featured Work
Check out some of the shoots, broadcasts, and projects we are proud to have produced and worked on with our clients and colleagues.
Full Services Roster
Whether an event needs coverage for the crowd inside or to an audience online, we’ve got it covered. From basic HD packages to native 4k; from one stage to an entire festival.
Virtual Video Village
If you are producing a commercial or film shoot and your clients are not able to travel – bring the shoot to them. We will create a private live streaming portal for your shoot that gives your client a real-time look behind the scenes.
Multi-camera to live broadcast
Whether an event needs coverage for the crowd inside or to an audience online, we’ve got it covered. From basic HD packages to native 4k; from one stage to an entire festival.
Multi-camera to post
We have bridged the gap between live directing and post-production: we’re now able to direct a show on a live switcher, record all the live cuts, and import the entire show into Premiere or Final Cut as if the editor made the multicam cuts natively.
Concert IMAG
Filming bands can be like working during earthquake under a rocket engine while skydiving. Fortunately, we’ve perfected the art of ducking beer cans and thrown elbows while holding a steady shot.
Ultra-high-res media servers & playback
Going higher than high-def? Our CITRINE servers deliver multiple layers of 8k video across virtually unlimited canvases without breaking a sweat.
Long-range wireless video
Our purpose-built long-range wireless video systems are capable of connecting transmit and receive points up to 15 miles away with only 2 frames of latency.
Customized web streaming
We offer a white-label CDN with virtually unlimited bandwidth and customization with support for all the major streaming platforms: YouTube, Ustream, Facebook, Vimeo, Twitch, and Livestream.
Event landing pages
EngageStreaming is a platform we built specifically for live events to have an effective landing page with streaming video. Platform-agnostic and totally customizable.
Projection & LED mapping
For when your video content goes beyond the basic 16:9 box. We’ll cover domes, spheres, and any shape imaginable with video projection or LED wall and keep it running smooth.
Content design for live playback
Go beyond the slide deck with custom-designed motion logos, ultra-wide content, video bumpers, and motion fly-in graphics. We’ll keep it consistent with existing branding or create it totally fresh.
Multi-area infrastructure design
Large events with multiple stages, simulcast requirements, concurrent web streams, and fast timelines present a unique set of challenges that we love tackling.
Sizzle reels
Event recap sizzle reels are the lasting payoff after the confetti settles. We produce engaging video look-backs that show-off the night’s excitement forever – standalone or packaged with our other live video services.
Mixed-reality VR design & operation
Our custom mixed-reality VR workflow was designed with Valve and HTC to showcase gameplay against a green screen to show the player inside the game to anybody watching. Break out of the headset with mixed-reality VR and engage everybody watching.
Pro gaming & eSports
Live video for online gaming demands a unique set of technical and creative skills. From Dota2 to Guild Wars to Rocket League: we’ve been there and get it right.
Produced videos
When a project requires content creation in addition to (or instead of) live video, we offer concept-to-delivery production of commercial and narrative projects, as well as video and creative support for other agencies. Promotional spots, “ask” videos, company overviews, music videos, and interviews.
Home production kits
Being stuck at home doesn’t mean you’re stuck with low production value! We can ship turnkey video kits designed for streaming or recording and then coach your talent on how to set up the camera and look great for your webinar or video shoot.
Live UHD & 4K
Native multi-camera production in UHD & 4k resolutions for content creation and even streaming.
Virtual events
Transition your live event to virtual. Our virtual event services will recreate your live event for a web-based audience at home. We use robotic cameras, minimal crew with full PPE, and high-efficiency workflows to keep production values high at a safe social distance.
Remote production
Go beyond a basic Zoom meeting and deliver high-production to your audience. We will remote produce your entire webinar, town hall, auction, or gala – all without anybody leaving home.
LED walls & displays
We partner with providers across the country if an event needs LED Walls, video projection, or mobile video displays.
