The workflow
From rig to rundown: six steps to a smooth show
Every reliable studio follows a repeatable order. Here is the sequence we teach and refine with television news and live-show teams across the UK.
- 1
Plan the floor
Map camera positions, set pieces and cable runs before a single stand goes up.
- 2
Rig the lighting
Build key, fill and back light for presenters, then balance the set separately.
- 3
Set the cameras
Match exposure, white balance and framing so every shot cuts together cleanly.
- 4
Balance the sound
Check levels, phase and talkback from microphone to mixing desk before rehearsal.
- 5
Rehearse the rundown
Run the show order with the whole crew so cues, graphics and moves are rehearsed.
- 6
Go live and review
Stay calm on air, then debrief quickly so lessons feed the next programme.
Insight
Gain more insight into how your studio really runs
Good workflows are visible. We help teams document how a news bulletin or live show moves from the first camera check to the final fade, so every role knows its next move.
- Clear rundowns that every operator can read at a glance
- Camera, lighting and audio checks written as repeatable routines
- Talkback and cueing habits that stay calm under live pressure
- Post-show reviews that turn mistakes into better next shows
