Multi-camera productions
Every angle, live. Multi-camera streaming and recording for concerts, talk shows, podcasts, interview series and corporate and cultural events.
Live, with a director in the chair
A single camera on a tripod makes a long event hard to watch. Multi-camera production gives viewers the experience of being in the room: wide shots for context, close-ups for emotion and cutaways to the audience. A director switches between cameras live, so the stream looks finished as it happens.
Built to stay on air
Live work leaves no room for surprises. We visit the venue first, test the internet and audio, plan backups for the things most likely to fail and run a test stream before the day. On the day, every camera is recorded separately, so you also have the material for polished edits later.
Studio shows and series
The same setup suits talk shows, video podcasts and documentary and interview series, where consistent angles and graphics make each episode feel part of a set. For events that need highlight films and social clips as well, combine this with event coverage. Branded sets and virtual backgrounds are possible in the green screen studio.

Questions we often hear
What do you need from the venue for a live stream?
Reliable internet, power near the control desk and a clean audio feed from the sound system. We check all three on the recce and bring backup where we can.
How many cameras will we need?
It depends on the size of the stage and how much movement there is. A podcast may need three; a concert more. We recommend a setup in the quote.
Can you stream to more than one platform at once?
Yes. We can stream to several platforms at the same time, such as YouTube and Facebook.
Do we get the recordings afterwards?
Yes. You get the switched programme and, on request, the individual camera recordings for future edits.
