What we do

Six areas of audiovisual work for broadcast and live

starlova covers the technical side of making television and live shows. That runs from the first studio layout and cabling plan through camera setup, lighting plots and audio chains to crewing a live event. You can book a single discipline or combine several on one project.

  1. Broadcast Studio Design

    Layout, acoustics and cabling plans for television studios, drawn up to suit your programmes and crew.

  2. Camera Control Systems

    Setup and configuration of camera control units, remote heads and shading for multi-camera productions.

  3. Professional Lighting Design

    Lighting plots and rigs for studio shows and live stages, balanced for camera and audience.

  4. Sound Engineering

    Audio capture, mixing and monitoring for broadcasts and live events, from microphones to final mix.

  5. Live Event Production

    Crewing, vision mixing and signal routing for conferences, concerts and televised live events.

  6. Workflow Consultancy

    Reviews of ingest, editing, review and delivery steps to help production teams work with fewer handovers.

Tell us about the programme, venue and crew size when you get in touch, and we will describe which services fit and what would need to be settled first.

Broadcast Studio Design

This service suits television networks and production teams building or reworking a studio. We draw up the layout, acoustic treatment and cabling around the programmes you make and the crew who run them, so the room works on shoot days.

Contact
Broadcast Studio Design
Layout and sightlines
We place sets, camera positions, the gallery and talent areas so cameras can move freely and the crew can see what they need. You tell us the formats you shoot and we plan around them.
Acoustic planning
Room treatment is drawn up to control reflections and noise from air handling and equipment. We note where the sound team needs quiet and how the space will be used.
Cabling and routing
We map signal, power and intercom runs, patch points and rack positions so that changes later do not mean pulling floors up. The plan is drawn for engineers who will maintain it.
Drawings you can build from
You receive plans and notes your contractors and technical staff can work from, written plainly and agreed with you before anything is installed.

Floor plans, the programme formats you intend to shoot and any existing equipment lists help us start quickly. Rough sketches are fine.

Why it matters

How the technical disciplines depend on each other

A studio or live event is a chain, and each link affects the next. Lighting changes how cameras are shaded, room acoustics change what microphones capture, and routing decides who sees what. We plan with that in mind from the start.

Picture

Camera control and lighting are set together. A lighting plot that suits the audience in the room can still leave faces flat on camera, so we balance both. Camera shading, remote heads and signal paths are configured so operators and the vision mixer work from consistent, repeatable settings across a multi-camera show.

Sound

Audio starts with microphone choice and placement, then moves through monitoring to the final mix. Daniel and the sound team design chains that stay clear of noise and are easy for a crew to follow. Where a studio and a live audience share a space, we plan for both listeners.

Workflow

Footage and files pass through ingest, editing, review and delivery, and every handover is a place for delays. We look at how your team actually moves material around and suggest changes that cut unnecessary steps. Our published guides cover the same ground for teams who prefer to adjust things themselves.

How we work

From first enquiry to a finished production

Projects follow the same order whatever the size. We start by listening, agree the scope in writing, plan the technical design, deliver the work with your crew, and review how it went. Each stage ends with something you can read and approve.

  1. Enquiry and brief

    You contact us through the form or by phone with the programme, venue or studio, and what you need. We ask about crew, formats and constraints, and arrange a conversation or site visit where it helps.

    What you leave with

    A shared understanding of the project and a list of open questions

  2. Written quotation

    We set out what is included, what affects the price and what we need from you, then send it as a written quotation. You can ask for changes before confirming anything.

    What you leave with

    A written quotation covering scope and inclusions

  3. Design and planning

    Our designers prepare layouts, lighting plots, audio chains or routing plans as the project requires, and review them with you and your engineers before work begins.

    What you leave with

    Agreed drawings, plots and technical notes

  4. Delivery on site

    We install, configure or crew the production, working alongside your staff. Tom, Daniel, Priya and the wider team keep communication short and clear on shoot days.

    What you leave with

    A working studio, rig or live production run with your crew

  5. Review and handover

    After the job we go through what worked and what to adjust, leave documentation your team can use, and send an invoice for payment by bank transfer.

    What you leave with

    Handover notes and a final invoice

FAQ

Questions we hear often

These answers cover the points people ask most when they first get in touch. If yours is not here, the contact page is the quickest way to ask.

Who do you usually work with?
Our clients are television network engineers, producers and live event organisers. Some need a full studio design, others a single discipline such as lighting or sound for one event. We are happy to discuss projects of different sizes and tell you plainly whether we are the right fit.
Can I book just one service?
Yes. Each of the six services can be quoted on its own, or combined where the work overlaps. Many projects pair lighting with camera control, or sound with live production. We will explain which combination makes sense once we know your programme and venue.
How do I get a price?
Send an enquiry through the contact page describing the work. We reply with a written quotation setting out what is included and what could change it. Typical prices are on the Prices page, but the quotation is what applies to your project.
How is payment handled?
Nothing is paid on the website. After you confirm the quotation we issue an invoice, which you pay by bank transfer. Cancellations and refunds follow our payment and refund policy, which you can read before you confirm anything.
Do you work outside Gloucester?
We are based in Gloucester, and our work involves studios and event venues wherever the production is. Tell us the location in your enquiry and we will discuss what travel and crewing involve for that job.
What should I prepare before getting in touch?
Useful details include the programme format, venue or studio, expected crew size, equipment you already own and your timetable. Floor plans help but are not essential. We can work from a short description and ask for the rest.
Do you advise teams on their existing workflows?
Yes, through workflow consultancy. We review ingest, editing, review and delivery steps with your team and point to places where handovers can be reduced. The review is a written summary your team can act on at its own pace.
Where can I read your guides?
Our Guides section carries practical articles on audiovisual workflows, studio practice, lighting, sound and camera control. They are written for production teams and new pieces appear about once a day.
