To celebrate the final season of its mega-hit Stranger Things, Netflix launched an immersive fan experience around the world.
The virtual and in-person events were designed to plunge fans into the heart of the show, in real time.
In France, production company IDZ opted to deliver a film performed and broadcast live, without a single cut, powered by TVU Networks’ cloud-based production tools.
YouTuber Joyca played the lead character, with audiences joining in from home via Twitch to solve puzzles, before he raced across Paris on an ebike to a special cinema screening.
“We wanted this to feel like a film, except it was happening live, across two locations, with no second take,” says Filip Trad, the event’s director. “Every transition had to be invisible—switching from a dark set to a street camera, handling live interactions, sound, ambient noise, creator mics… without ever breaking the flow. TVU’s cloud solutions gave us seamless continuity.
“That fluidity changes everything: it keeps the audience fully immersed, connected to the story from start to finish, as if they were part of it.”
