For ESMERO, finals night brought a three-day production to a close. From 10 to 12 September 2026, we livestreamed the 51st International Chemiepokal in Halle using our own camera, live direction and streaming equipment.<\/p>\n<h2>From Halle-Neustadt to the Steintor<\/h2>\n<p>The route to the finals passed through two very different venues. Thursday\u2019s quarter-finals took place at the BIZ sports hall in Halle-Neustadt. The tournament then moved to the Steintor-Variet\u00e9 for the semi-finals and Saturday\u2019s finals. Across three days of competition, each bout determined who would progress.<\/p>\n<p>The Chemiepokal has been part of Halle\u2019s boxing history since 1970. Its 51st edition was organised by the Saxony-Anhalt Boxing Association and the German Boxing Association. The livestream allowed fans to follow the international tournament beyond the two venues. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chemiepokal.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Official tournament retrospective<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Another kind of work on the balcony<\/h2>\n<p>As the bouts unfolded below, the pictures came together at our production position. At the Steintor, we worked from the balcony behind the ESMERO banner, turning the camera feeds into a broadcast for viewers watching remotely.<\/p>\n<p>Across a production lasting several days, following the event\u2019s rhythm matters as much as any individual shot. Cameras, live direction, sound and streaming need to work together through the different stages of the tournament. Equipment provides the foundation; the crew\u2019s attention and coordination turn it into a live production.<\/p>\n<p>Boxing brings its own demands to camera work. The coverage needs to follow fast action while helping viewers understand the positioning of the athletes, their movement around the ring and what is happening in the corners. Our aim was to make the sporting action clear and bring some of the ringside experience to viewers at home.<\/p>\n<h2>Four views of a memorable tournament<\/h2>\n<p>Our selection shows four sides of the event: a bout in progress, the work behind the broadcast, the view across the auditorium and the athletes receiving their awards. The contrast between the action in the ring and the moments around it is what makes this assignment stand out for us.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to the organisers and everyone we worked alongside during these three days. The Chemiepokal remains a project that brought together sport, a distinctive venue and live production in a memorable way.<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-gallery fit_contain wp_gallery type_grid
