From first enquiry to a clean handover
Every job starts with a conversation about what you are making and who will watch it. We then put the plan in writing, rig and test the equipment, and run the production with a crew that has seen your brief. Nothing is left to be worked out on the day.

Questions producers ask us
These are the questions we hear most often before a booking. If yours is not here, write to us through the contact page and we will answer it directly.
-
What kinds of productions do you work on?
We work on television programmes, live broadcasts, media events, interviews and presentations. Some clients need a full multi-camera studio for a series, while others want a compact setup for a day of interviews. We discuss the format first and then suggest a crew and equipment list that fits it.
-
Can you work in our own venue or studio?
Yes. We regularly rig in studios, conference rooms and event spaces. We ask for dimensions, power details and photographs so we can plan cable routes and camera positions. If the room has limits, such as low ceilings or restricted loading, we plan around them before the day.
-
Do you provide the equipment or only the crew?
We can do either. Some clients need cameras, lighting and audio supplied along with operators, others only need a supervisor or engineer to join their own team. The quotation states clearly what we supply and what we expect you to provide.
-
How do I get a price?
Send an enquiry through the contact page with a few details about your production. We reply with questions if needed and then issue a written quotation. Typical rates are listed on the prices page, but the final figure depends on crew size, equipment and location.
-
How does payment work?
Once you accept the quotation, we confirm the booking in writing. After the work is complete we send an invoice, which you pay by bank transfer. Nothing is paid through the website. Cancellations and refunds follow the payment and refund policy.
-
Can you train our own camera operators?
Yes. Daniel often trains operators on set, usually during rigging time or between recordings. We cover shot sizes, camera movement, talkback routines and how to line up the system. Please tell us the operators' experience so the session starts at the right level.
-
What do you need from us before the day?
The most useful items are the running order, the shot list or director's notes, the list of people on camera and the venue details. A named contact who can make decisions on the day also saves time. We send a checklist after the briefing call.
-
Do you review workflows we already use?
Yes. Our workflow and gallery consulting looks at how your team works, from gallery layout and communication to file naming and handover. We observe a session or study your documents, then write an action list ranked by what will help most.
