Steady pictures and clean sound for every show
We advise television networks and live event companies on studios, cameras, lighting, sound and workflow. Our guidance is practical, written down and built around your schedule.
ContactWhat we advise on
Our work covers the technical chain from the empty room to the finished broadcast. Each service can be taken on its own or combined, depending on where your production needs support.
-
Broadcast Studio Design
We plan the layout, acoustic treatment and cabling of television studios, from compact news sets to multi-camera floors. Plans are drawn with the crew's movement in mind. The result is a studio that is easy to run and to maintain.
-
Camera Control Systems
We advise on camera shading, remote heads and control room set-up so pictures match from the first shot to the last. Guidance covers how operators and shaders work together. The aim is consistency across the whole programme.
-
Lighting Design for Screen
We prepare lighting plans for studios and live events that suit the cameras, the set and the schedule. Plans consider colour, power and rigging time. Your lighting team gets a clear document to build from.
-
Sound Engineering Support
We give guidance on microphones, mixing desks and monitoring for speech, music and live audience sound. Advice is based on how the room behaves and how the mix is used. It helps engineers keep dialogue clear.
-
Live Event Workflow Planning
We plan signal flow, crew roles and rehearsal schedules for live productions, step by step. Each role is written down so nobody is unsure of their cue. The plan is easy to hand to a new crew member.
-
Production Workflow Audits
We review your current production chain and set out our findings in writing. The report lists practical changes that save time and reduce faults. You decide which to adopt and in what order.
How a Production Workflow Audit works
Gathering the facts
We start with your diagrams, crew lists and recent problem reports. Where documents are missing, we ask your engineers to describe the chain in their own words.
Observing a working day
Where possible we watch a rehearsal or recording. This shows handovers and workarounds that never appear on paper.
Writing the findings
The written review sets out each fault or delay, its likely cause and a practical change. Items are ordered so you can see what to tackle first.
Talking it through
We go through the report with your team and answer questions. You leave knowing which changes are small adjustments and which need planning.
The teams that use our advice
Our guidance is written for people who run production technology day to day. They work in television networks, live event companies and the engineering teams behind them. Many are planning a build, a refit or a change of method, and want clear advice before committing budget.
Television network producers
Producers who need studios and workflows that suit their schedule, supported by studio design, lighting plans and a sound review of the way they work.
Technical directors
Technical directors responsible for pictures and signal flow, who look to camera control advice and workflow audits to keep a show consistent.
Live event companies
Companies staging live productions that need written signal flow, crew roles and rehearsal plans from the first walk-through to the last cue.
Studio engineers
Engineers maintaining studios and control rooms, who value clear cabling plans, monitoring guidance and documentation that a colleague can follow.
Sound and audio teams
Audio teams handling speech, music and audience sound, who use our guidance on microphones, mixing desks and monitoring.
Lighting and camera crews
Crews who light and shoot studio or live work and want plans that match cameras to the set and to the time available.
How we work
From first conversation to written plan
Every engagement follows the same plain sequence, so you know what to expect at each stage. We keep the steps short and put decisions on paper. The pace is set by your production calendar, not by ours.
-
Enquiry
You contact us through the form with a short description of the production, the venue and the problem. We read it carefully and reply with questions where details are missing, so the scope is clear from the start.
What you leave with
A shared understanding of what you need and what is outside the scope.
-
Written quotation
We set out the work, what the price includes and what could change it. You read it at your own pace and ask about anything unclear. Nothing begins until you confirm in writing.
What you leave with
A written quotation you can approve or decline.
-
Review and site work
We study your documents and, where useful, visit the studio or venue. We measure, listen and talk to the crew who use the equipment every day.
What you leave with
Notes and measurements gathered from your own site.
-
Plan or report
We draw up the design, lighting plan, workflow or audit report you commissioned. It is written plainly so engineers and producers can both act on it.
What you leave with
A finished document ready for your team to build from.
-
Handover
We walk through the document with you, answer questions and note what to revisit. Invoicing follows by bank transfer, as the payment terms describe.
What you leave with
A clear next step and an invoice for the agreed work.
What clients say
-
The audit gave us a clear list of where our handovers were slowing us down. We changed three things and rehearsals became noticeably calmer. The report was easy to share with the whole crew.
Fiona MarshSeries producer at a regional broadcaster -
Our studio refit needed a cabling plan that engineers could actually follow. The drawings were precise and the advice on acoustics was sensible. We have used the document many times since.
Daniel OkaforTechnical director, studio facility -
The lighting plan matched our cameras and our rigging time. Priya explained her reasoning, which helped our crew accept the changes. It saved us arguments on the day.
Rachel BennettHead of production, live events company -
Callum's notes on monitoring and microphone choice made our speech mix clearer. The advice was practical and avoided buying new equipment where it was not needed.
