What we do for live production

  • Studio Equipment Integration

    We plan, wire and test vision mixers, routers, monitors and intercom as one system. You get labelled cabling, documented signal paths and a studio your crew can operate without guessing.

  • Camera Operation and Direction

    Experienced camera crews and shot planning for interviews, news bulletins and multi-camera shows. We agree the shot list beforehand and direct from the gallery on the day.

  • Acoustic Treatment and Sound

    We assess the room, specify acoustic panels and place microphones for clean, intelligible audio. The aim is speech that reaches the viewer clearly, without echo or boxiness.

  • Lighting Design and Setup

    Key, fill and backlight designs for presenters and sets, including rigging and dimmer programming. Lighting is planned around your cameras and your set, not added afterwards.

  • Live Event and Stage Broadcast

    Multi-camera coverage for concerts, festivals and parties, with a mobile gallery and signal feeds. We recce the site first and agree cable runs, power and positions in writing.

  • Workflow Audit and Training

    We review how your production runs today, write clear run sheets and train your team on the kit they use. Training is held on your own equipment, in your own studio.

How we work

The principles behind every production we take on

Live television leaves no room for second takes. Equipment fails, guests arrive late and schedules slip, so the way a production is prepared matters as much as the kit itself. These principles shape how we plan, communicate and deliver, from the first call to the final broadcast.

  1. Reliability

    Reliability means preparing for the day things go wrong. We test equipment before it matters, carry spares for the parts most likely to fail, and write run sheets that tell everyone what happens if a feed drops. Our clients expect the broadcast to go out, and we plan accordingly.

  2. Clarity

    Clarity applies to people as much as signals. We explain choices in plain language, put agreements in writing and label what we install. A producer, a venue manager and a volunteer operator should each understand what is happening, what they are responsible for and who to ask.

  3. Craft

    Craft shows in details that viewers never consciously notice: a well-framed interview, a presenter lit without harsh shadows, speech that sounds natural. We take time over camera positions, microphone placement and lighting angles because small decisions add up to a broadcast that feels professional.

Questions we are often asked

These answers cover how projects usually begin and what to expect. If your situation is different, send us a message through the contact page and we will reply directly.

  1. Who do you usually work with?

    We work with broadcasters, venue managers, event organisers and production teams across the UK. Some have a full studio that needs integrating or improving, others need a crew for a single event. We are happy to discuss projects of different sizes.

  2. Can you help if we already have equipment?

    Yes, and most clients do. We begin by surveying what you own, then advise what works together, what needs replacing and what is simply set up badly. We do not push new purchases where existing kit can do the job.

  3. Do you visit before quoting?

    For studio and event work we normally recommend a visit or recce, because room size, power and cable routes affect the plan. For smaller jobs a detailed phone call and photographs may be enough to produce a written quotation.

  4. How do I start a project?

    Send an enquiry through the contact page describing what you need, the date and the location. We reply with questions or a proposed visit, then issue a written quotation. Once you confirm it, we invoice and schedule the work.

  5. Can you provide a camera crew only?

    Yes. Camera operation and direction is a service in its own right. We agree a shot list, crew size and equipment with you beforehand, and can work alongside your own gallery team where you have one.

  6. Do you train our staff?

    Training is part of our workflow audit service. We write run sheets that fit how your team works and train people on the equipment they use daily, at your studio, so what they learn applies straight away.

  7. Can you cover outdoor events and festival stages?

    Yes. Live event and stage broadcast is one of our services, using a mobile gallery and signal feeds. Outdoor work needs extra planning for weather, power and cable protection, which we cover during the site recce.

  8. Where are you based?

    We are based in Hereford, at 14 Widemarsh Court, and have worked on productions in different parts of the UK. Travel arrangements are agreed in the written quotation, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
