Live Event Production & Engineering

When you are broadcasting live, there are no second takes. Whether I am directing a multi-camera red carpet premiere or supplying a complete Portable Production Unit (PPU) for a global corporate stream, my approach is built on technical resilience and making the crew's job easier.

Vision Engineering & Racks

The final picture is only as good as the engineering behind it. Alongside my own productions, I regularly work as a vision guarantee and racks engineer on multi-camera live OBs (Outside Broadcasts) in production trucks, as well as engineering on other clients' PPUs.

I bring a wealth of high-pressure broadcast experience to every job, having engineered outside broadcasts for ITV's This Morning, UEFA Champions League coverage (for RAI, beIN Sports, and TV3), and live boxing for DAZN.

Whether I am matching cameras in the back of a truck at the O2 or the Camden Roundhouse, ensuring flawless signal flow for a Tommy Hilfiger fashion show, or guaranteeing the vision for mega-conferences at ExCeL London for brands like Adobe and Xero, my job is to make sure your pictures are pristine and your technical backbone is completely bulletproof.

Vision Mixing & Directing

I regularly vision mix and direct for leading production companies, handling high-stakes live events where precision is everything. This includes directing Leicester Square red carpet premieres for major releases like Netflix's Stranger Things, Disclosure Day, and Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. On the corporate side, I manage global town halls, conferences, and live events for multinationals including Adobe, Microsoft, and Google.

Fly pack PPU & Resilient Live Streaming

If you need a complete streaming infrastructure, I supply a bespoke PPU designed around production-focused tech and absolute reliability.

  • Bonded Network Redundancy: I use LiveU Solo bonded connections to ensure your stream stays up, even if the venue's primary internet drops.

  • Crew & Presenter Confidence: A smooth show requires everyone to be on the same page. My setups include tally lights for the camera operators and on-screen talent, plus dedicated countdown clocks so presenters always know exactly how much time they have left on VTs or live segments.

  • Integrated Comms: The entire rig integrates seamlessly with my 10-headset Hollyland H1 Solidcom system, keeping the director, engineers, and camera crew in perfect sync.

Voice Over Booth

Beyond the live venue, Emagine Productions operates a dedicated edit suite and voice-over booth based in East Hertfordshire. Configured for both narration and commentary, the booth features a two-way video and audio connection. This allows voice artists to be directed and produced remotely in real-time, which is ideal for scripted pieces or voice-to-pictures. Recent credits include recording five series of CBBC’s One Zoo Three and continuity recording for the Discovery Channel.
