How it works
Gain more insight into how studio teams work
Every course is built around real studio floor practice. You learn the kit, the moves and the communication that turn a rehearsal into a clean transmission.
Dynamic camera operation
Smooth pedestal, track and jib moves that stay on the shot while the show moves.
Lighting design
Key, fill and back light that flatters presenters and keeps colour consistent.
Sound waves and levels
Microphone placement, gain staging and clean mixes for speech-led programmes.
Studio equipment setup
Rigging, cabling and signal checks done in the right order, every time.
Rundown and workflow
Read a running order, call cues and keep a live show on time.
Gallery coordination
Talkback, tally and vision mixing between the floor and the control room.
