Innovation in Focus: Supporting the APA Book Awards 2025
The APA Book Awards represent the pinnacle of the Australian publishing industry, and for the 2025 ceremony at Zinc at Fed Square, the production needed to be as polished as the works being honoured. Partnering with Peanut Productions, WOOHAH delivered a seamless broadcast and accessibility solution for this prestigious evening.
To ensure the ceremony was captured with elegance and remained accessible to all, we deployed a high-spec technical package:
- Broadcast-Grade Capture: We provided a comprehensive Camera Solution, featuring a multi-camera array and expert Operators. This ensured every acceptance speech and award reveal was captured with cinematic clarity, perfectly suited for the sophisticated atmosphere of Zinc.
- World-Class Camera Direction: Our Camera Director oversaw the live mix, ensuring a dynamic and engaging visual narrative that translated the prestige of the room onto the screens.
- Pioneering Live AI Captioning: In a commitment to accessibility, we integrated Live AI Captioning into the broadcast. This technology provided real-time, high-accuracy text overlays, ensuring the ceremony was inclusive for all attendees and viewers.
- Seamless AV Integration: We worked in close coordination with the venue’s LED Screen services, ensuring our broadcast feeds were perfectly mapped and colour-balanced to the house displays for a unified visual experience.
- Expert Technical Delivery: Our technicians managed the complex intersection of live video, AI data streams, and venue infrastructure, ensuring a flawless execution from the first arrival to the final award.
Congratulations to the Australian Publishers Association and the team at Peanut Productions. We are proud to provide the technical mastery that celebrates Australia’s finest storytellers.
