Our Work

Selected work

Studio days, live galleries and interview sessions

These scenes show the kind of work our crews do in studios and on location. Each reflects a decision about cameras, light or sound that suited the programme in front of us.

  1. Multi-camera studio discussion programme

    Three pedestal cameras were framed for a panel format with a fixed running order. Shot sizes were marked on the floor in advance so the director could cut quickly between speakers.

  2. Overhead lighting plan for a presenter set

    A grid of overhead lamps balanced key and fill for a single presenter position. Colour temperature was matched across fixtures so skin tones held steady between cameras.

  3. Live event gallery operation

    A compact gallery handled vision mixing, replay and talkback for a one-day event broadcast. Roles were rehearsed beforehand so the crew worked calmly once the feed went live.

  4. Audio mixing for a recorded panel

    Lavalier and boom microphones were combined on a small console, with the engineer monitoring each channel separately. Clean, even levels made the edit straightforward afterwards.

  5. Interview studio session

    A single camera, soft key light and plain backdrop were set up for a seated interview. The framing was kept simple so attention stayed on the speaker.

  6. Edit suite handover

    Recorded material was ingested, named and checked in an edit suite before delivery. A short note on formats and graphics went with the files so editors could start without questions.

In context

How the work is organised across a production

actiora has been producing studio television and live media events from Durham since 2011. The crew is small, and each department lead stays with a job from planning through to delivery. That continuity matters more to us than scale: the person who designs the lighting plan is the person supervising it on the day. Projects range from one studio day to multi-day events.
