drift symphony 2
When Nappy Boy Automotive (yes, that T-Pain) asked if we could livestream a full-day drift event to his Twitch channel, we said what we always say:
[yeah, we got it.]
live streaming // streaming-related solutions
Nappy Boy’s team came to us with a rough plan—some beats, a few logos, and a big vision: a livestream that captured the scale and energy of the event without losing the authenticity and flexibility of Twitch.
We stepped in early to consult on the show flow, integrating broadcast logic into a live environment that didn’t have the bones of a typical production.
our job
we built a fully automated, studio-grade broadcast system designed to respond in real time to chaos—just the way we like it.
This was a massive drifting event, 8 camera feeds, drone ops, in-car POVs, live hosts, on-the-fly interviews, an LED wall on site, and a full karaoke finale to wrap it all up.
All managed from a press box, by a two-person team with enough automation to make a NASA launch look manual.es wondering if we’ve taken over the world...
“We don’t think like a TV truck. We think like a Twitch channel—fast, flexible, reactive—and then we engineer backwards from there.”
how we did it
the setup
This is the kind of setup you’d normally throw a 12-person crew and a semi-truck at. We packed it into a Pelican 1510 and made it sing.
Every decision we made had one goal: maximum control with minimum crew.
video control
- ATEM Extreme ISO for camera routing + multiview output
- 4-box cam layout via Camlink + chroma key in OBS
- Cropped/animated transitions (2-, 3-, 4-boxes) on the fly
- Automated layouts with Bitfocus Companion, Stream Decks, and the Move Transition plugin
audio management
- Focusrite 18i20 for mics, stage, and karaoke feeds
- ASIO plugin in OBS allowed individual mic routing and live mixing
- OBS filters + Companion macros for smooth handoffs + control
signal + show routing
- DJI gear handled drone + roaming feeds
- Fiber lines linked LED wall + control
- Final output streamed to Twitch + on-site wall with zero delay
- Entire setup: one laptop, two operators, and a full system packed in a single carry-on case
key gear included:
- Blackmagic ATEM Extreme ISO
- OBSBot Tail + DJI RS2
- Focusrite 18i20
- Dual Stream Decks
- OBS scripting + automation
- Camlinks, SSDs, monitors
- GliNet router + TP-Link router + Decimators

THE
OUTCOME
We ran a 10-hour stream with zero dropped frames, full audio fidelity, and synchronized dual outputs. Viewers stayed locked in from the first burnout to the final karaoke mic drop.
Bad Guys Studios turned a high-speed, high-chaos motorsport event into a clean, cinematic livestream—without ever losing the soul of Twitch.
