Well that's a wrap for S9 & F1 24 of the @creatorseries.bsky.social!

A huge thank you to everyone involved this season on the broadcast side, a pleasure to be able to produce this season.

Over 100,000 views across the whole season's lives ain't too shabby either.

Comments like this 🙄

Nearly every broadcast I get at least one message about it (usually not as gentle as this).

Do people actually care that much about a minor speech impediment?

Anyway I had a great time on the Creator Series this weekend and I'm more than happy with my speech output!

I'm live for the penultimate round of the Creator Series with @izamusing.

Anything but a huge bottle will give Tiametmarduk his second championship today, but it is Ben...

Here we go for the Creator Series EA Showcase event, two races over the next 3 hours which could decide the fate of the championship.

The special guest of Matt and Tommy racing today will provide extra entertainment for us on the broadcast.

Very excited to be on production duties for the Creator Series EA showcase event tomorrow!

We will be bringing the best of the series to the EA Sports F1 channel for the first time. We've got a special guest and an unpredictable wildcard lined up too.

Big week in the Creator Series with a fun announcement soon, so I am hard at work introducing new scenes to the package.

I've learnt from the WRC stream that the creators often bring the best out of each other. We are introducing a multi-camera scene to bring that to the F1 broadcast.

A graphic for the history books🏛️

A maiden race win for @gb68.bsky.social last night and what a chaotic race to clinch it in. Fully deserved and I have no doubt that this will unlock the floodgates🍾

Wets on a dry track not ideal 🤔

Wets on a dry track whilst using McDonalds WiFi, priceless.

I'm not often left speechless!

F05Esports wrapped up alongside @izamusing. Super fun and close racing right to the end with the cleanest driver when it came to penalties getting the W.

Congrats Rasin.

Our broadcast philosophy is simplicity first🖊️

A crew of just 2 - 4 (including on-air talent) is all that is needed to operate and output from our packages.

If it can't be done with a single button press from an @elgato stream deck then the feature isn't ready❌
November 14, 2024 at 3:13 PM
And what about our Monday night @EASPORTSWRC club?

Well no fancy tricks here, a unique set of requirements requires a different package📋

Our most technically challenging stream, bringing together over 30 feeds to create the best broadcast in the WRC game scene.

I'll do a thread on this soon...
November 14, 2024 at 3:13 PM
And you may be thinking, doesn't the Creator Series run F2 cars too?

We certainly do and it takes a single button press to completely change the theming across the entire package🎩🪄

Feature parity between F1 and F2 broadcasts is something I am really proud of.
November 14, 2024 at 3:13 PM
And did you notice the transitions between the scenes?
That is the co-ordinate based transition plugin we use.

Achieving the best results require a rethink on how graphics are used in @OBSProject compared to traditional F1 broadcasts🤔

Race action always remains on screen📺
November 14, 2024 at 3:13 PM
Most F1 game broadcasts have two commentators, but an area we have pushed on is with the introduction of the clipbook🎬

The clipbook presenter gives our broadcast so much depth by reviewing incidents, overtakes and picking up on themes running through each race.
November 14, 2024 at 3:13 PM
We also integrate to third-party APIs to power our graphics🎨

on his excellent design work throughout the package.

Another way to bring insight to the audience is with team radio🎧

We built an entire system stack from scratch which allows gathering radio messages to automatic real time playback during the broadcast.

Without it we would miss a lot of context during fun moments like this 🤣
November 14, 2024 at 3:13 PM
Prior to getting hands on the first innovation had been made, picture in picture.

The importance of our creators to the series is an obvious one so connecting our audience to them is a key aspect of any broadcast.

Camera feeds help bring visual identity & insight into our race stories🎥
