Why live streaming costs more than recording
A recording can be fixed in the edit. A live stream can't. Crews charge for a director to switch cameras, an engineer to manage encoding and internet, backup connections, and the risk of something failing in front of an audience. That is why a single-camera stream usually costs about twice as much as a single-camera recording.
What changes the price
Number of cameras, since each one usually adds an operator. Hours on site, with overtime usually billed per hour after 4 or 8 hours. Audio complexity: panels with many microphones need a sound engineer. Internet conditions at the venue. And delivery: edited highlights, subtitles and rush turnaround are often billed separately.
How to compare quotes
Ask every vendor to quote the same thing: hours, number of cameras, whether a director is included, backup internet, what files you receive and when, and whether editing and subtitles are included. A cheap quote often leaves out backup internet or audio, and those are what fail.
