Our Services

Six areas of live production work, from camera switching and streaming to control room fit-outs and crew planning.

Services

What we run and equip

  • Multi-Camera Vision Switching

    A technical director cuts between camera feeds live, following the show script and the director's calls. Each cut is rehearsed against the running order so the programme feed stays steady.

  • Live Streaming Production

    We take your event feed from the stage to online platforms with graphics, audio and a monitored stream. Someone watches the outgoing picture and sound for the whole broadcast.

  • Control Room Design and Fit-Out

    We plan and install compact gallery rooms with monitor walls, intercom and signal routing. Daniel Pritchard handles each fit-out from survey through to handover and testing.

  • Concert and Festival Coverage

    Camera crews and a mobile control desk record or relay music events for screens and broadcast. We travel to venues across the south of England.

  • Real-Time Graphics and Replay

    Operators run lower thirds, scoreboards and instant replay during live shows. Graphics are prepared and checked before doors open, then triggered on cue.

  • Production Management and Crew Planning

    We schedule crews, kit and run sheets so a live broadcast starts on time and runs smoothly. Priya Nair plans the details and answers your questions first.

Choosing a service

How to decide which job you need

Most clients start with the show they want to put on screen, then work back to the crew and kit. These points help you compare the options before you write to us.

Contact

  • Crew size follows the show

    A single-stage talk needs far fewer people than a multi-stage festival. We set crew numbers from your running order and venue plan.

  • Screens, stream or both

    Relay to venue screens, a live stream and a recording each need different outputs. Tell us which you want and we plan the signal paths.

  • Graphics and replay needs

    Lower thirds and scoreboards need names, scores and artwork supplied ahead. Replay needs a dedicated operator and extra recording channels.

  • Own kit or our kit

    Some venues already have cameras and cabling. We can operate what you have or bring a mobile desk and cameras ourselves.

  • Rehearsal and setup time

    Longer access before doors open allows proper line checks and a run-through. Tight access is possible but narrows what we can safely add.

  • One-off or repeat events

    A single event is quoted on its own. Regular shows at the same venue can share a standing plan, which saves planning time.

Scope

What a quotation covers and what changes it

Every job is quoted in writing after an enquiry through the contact page. The quotation states what is included, so you can compare it with your own plan and ask us to change it.

What is included

A quotation lists the crew roles, the equipment we bring, travel to the venue, setup and breakdown time, and the hours on air. It also names who leads the gallery. Where we operate your equipment instead of ours, the quotation says so. Anything outside that list is stated as excluded rather than left to assumption. This keeps the invoice in line with what was agreed.

What changes the price

Number of cameras, length of the show, number of outputs and the distance to the venue all move the figure. So do overnight stays, extra rehearsal days and late changes to the running order. A stream with graphics and replay needs more operators than a plain relay. We explain each of these in the written quotation rather than adding them later.

What we need from you

Send the date, venue, running order, expected audience and where the picture should end up. A venue plan or site contact helps us judge cable runs and power. If graphics are needed, supply names and artwork early. We will tell you plainly when something is not workable, and suggest a simpler arrangement that still serves the event.
