The guides cover the everyday decisions behind studio and live work, from cable routing to monitoring practice. New articles appear about once a day, each aimed at a specific problem a production team may face.
Live Events
A practical walk-through of how to size a crew, map vision and sound signals and rehearse a conference or concert so the live feed holds together on the day.
Sound Engineering
Before you book audio for a broadcast or live event, these are the questions worth settling first, from venue and microphones to monitoring, crew and the handover of the final mix.
Studio Design
Layout, acoustics and cabling errors in new television studios are rarely dramatic, but they are costly to fix later. Here are the ones we meet most often and how to plan around them.
Camera Control
A plain walk through how camera control work is priced, from the number of cameras to remote heads and shading, and what to settle before asking for a written quotation.
Lighting Cases
A short account of one studio client, Marcus, whose panel show looked flat on camera until the lighting plot was redrawn around the set, the cameras and the audience.
Workflow
Mid autumn is a good moment to review ingest, edit, review and delivery steps, so that winter schedules run with fewer handovers and fewer late surprises.
Live Events
A plain-words guide to the terms live crews use every day: tally, routing, cut, take and return feed, and why each one matters on a busy event.
Sound Engineering
A practical comparison of dynamic and condenser microphones for broadcasts and live events, with a clear recommendation for each setting and a note on when to mix the two.
Studio Design
A look at how we survey a space, test its acoustics and draw the cabling for a television studio, and the choices that decide whether crews can work comfortably there.
Camera Control
The question we hear most often about camera control: what should your team have ready before we configure units, remote heads and shading? A practical answer from the first call to shoot day.
Lighting Design
A look at how starlova builds lighting plots and rigs for studio shows and live stages, and how we balance what the camera needs with what the audience sees.
Workflow
A look at the working materials we bring to a workflow review: shot logs, handover maps and timed test runs that show where a production loses time between ingest and delivery.
Live Events
Before you commit to a crew for a conference, concert or televised event, work through these questions on vision mixing, signal routing, crewing and the venue itself.
Sound Engineering
Most audio problems on air trace back to a few repeated habits in gain, monitoring, cabling and handover. Here is what we see go wrong and how a crew can prevent each one.
Studio Design
A plain account of how a studio design is priced, which choices raise or lower the figure, and what to settle before asking for a written quotation.
Customer case
A short case from the studio floor: how a production team led by Nadia stopped chasing mismatched pictures between three cameras, and what we changed in the camera control setup.
Lighting
Shorter days change how studios and stages are lit. Priya Shah sets out what to check in your lighting plots and rigs before winter schedules and live seasons fill up.
