Cover the stage like a TV crew

Launches, award nights, annual days, conferences and seminars all follow the same plan: a wide of the stage that never moves, a close-up for faces and the key moment, and one phone free to roam. With those three you can always cut to something worth watching.

  • Stage wide: the production phone on a tripod at the back or centre.
  • Close-up: near the stage for speakers, winners and the key moment.
  • Aisle: from the side, for walk-ins and the audience.
  • Roaming: a helper walks around for reactions and details.

Screens and overlays for an event

Prepare a Screen for each part of the programme: Welcome, Wide, Close-up, Side by side, Be right back and Thank you. Add speaker names and the event title as text overlays and your logo as an image overlay. For a conference, a web page overlay can show slides or the event page.

Lock your overlays once they're placed, so nobody moves them by accident during the ceremony.

Sound and internet at the venue

Good sound matters more than a sharp picture. Sit close to the speakers, or use a microphone, and balance the sound in the mixer. Check the venue Wi-Fi or mobile data before the day: only the production phone needs internet, and camera phones on the same Wi-Fi need none.
