Overview

Burnaby Pride 2025 wasn’t just a celebration — it was a reflection of identity, solidarity, and joy. As the festival continued to grow, organizers needed a media partner who could do more than document — they needed someone to capture the essence of the day through meaningful, people-centered storytelling.

 

StreamCity delivered a full video production package focused on multi-camera event coverage, clean audio from the stage, and interview-driven social clips to showcase the voices and spirit of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

 

The Client’s Challenge

Burnaby Pride organizers were clear: “We don’t just want b-roll.” They needed content that captured:

• The diversity of the crowd and performers

• Clean, clear audio of performances and on-stage moments

• Storytelling that aligned with values of accessibility, safety, and inclusion

 

This was more than a one-day job — it was about building tools for future outreach and impact.
