What we plan and run for you

In focus

Studio Camera Systems from specification to operation

This service suits producers who need a multi-camera studio for a series, a presentation or a one-off recording. We work out what the set requires, supply and rig it, and provide operators who know the equipment.

Contact
Specification before the shoot
We start from your format and studio size, then list cameras, lenses, support and cabling. You see the plan on paper first, so changes are made before anyone loads a van.
Rigging and line-up
Daniel and the crew rig the cameras, run the cabling and line up colour and framing on the day. Each position is checked against the director's shot list before recording starts.
Operators who know the kit
Camera operators are briefed on shot sizes, cues and talkback routines. If your own operators are working, we can train them on the system during rig time.
Clean de-rig and handover
After recording we strike the rig, label media and note any faults found on the day. You leave with a short report of what was used and how it was set up.

Send us the studio dimensions, the number of presenters and your intended delivery format. Photographs of the room help us plan camera positions and cable runs.

How we work

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.

  1. Briefing call

    We talk through the programme or event, the venue or studio, the people on camera and your delivery needs. We ask about previous problems so the plan avoids them, and note who makes decisions on your side.

  2. Technical plan

    Daniel, Priya and Tom each draw up their part: camera positions, lighting layout and microphone plan. We combine these into one document, with cabling routes and power needs shown against the room.

  3. Quotation

    We price the plan as written, listing crew, equipment and any travel. If something in the plan can be simplified to suit your budget, we say so and show what changes.

  4. Rig, test and rehearse

    The crew arrives early, rigs the equipment and tests every source and microphone. Where the schedule allows, we rehearse cues with the director so the first take is not the first run-through.

  5. Production and handover

    We run the recording or broadcast, then strike the equipment and hand over media and notes in the format you asked for. You receive an invoice by bank transfer once the work is complete.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.
