Four specialists in live direction, switching, engineering and streaming, who work together on every show and stay in touch with clients before and after.
Our core team covers direction, vision mixing, engineering and streaming. Each person brings a clear specialism, and clients usually know who they will speak to from first call to final cue.
Callum has directed live studio and event broadcasts for over a decade. He leads our crews and oversees every show on the day.
Priya specialises in fast multi-camera switching for music and festival productions. She trains our newer operators.
Daniel designs signal paths and maintains our control room equipment. He keeps systems steady during long broadcast days.
Hannah plans streaming workflows and graphics for online events. She works closely with clients before, during and after each show.
Good live production is mostly preparation. Our team follows a simple pattern on every job, so clients know what to expect and operators know what is asked of them.
Callum Hartley or the assigned producer talks through the running order and the venue with you. Daniel checks the signal path and the equipment list. Hannah Whitlock plans graphics and streaming details where they apply. Everyone knows their role and their cue points ahead of time. Questions are raised early, while there is still room to answer them without pressure.
The director leads and the gallery follows, with Priya Nair switching and operators handling replay, graphics and playout. Intercom calls are short and specific. If something changes, the change is passed through one voice rather than several. Technical problems go straight to the engineer, so the rest of the crew can stay on the programme.
We confirm what was recorded and delivered and talk through anything that did not go as intended. Notes from the day go back to the client. Newer operators are trained by Priya and the senior crew, who review shows together. That habit keeps our standards steady from one booking to the next.
