Train on a working broadcast floor
Theory only goes so far. Our learners set up the studio, run the cameras and balance the sound under real show conditions, so the first live broadcast never feels like the first time.
- Pedestal, jib and handheld moves rehearsed on a live set
- Lighting and microphone choices matched to the shot
- Cues, talkback and recovery practised until they are calm
