DESIGN, BUILD & RUN YOUR OWN VIDEO STUDIO – MASTERCLASS

Supercharge your audience engagement and streamline content creation by building your own broadcast quality, budget TV studio

Learn how to create what I like to call the ‘Production Accelerator’, that is, your own, bespoke video studio with ‘flick-a’switch’ ease of set up so you can create broadcast quality, video content fast and easily. That way you can create better video, quicker and considerably cheaper than conventional ways of creating content. Normally you need to hire an agency or production company to shoot your video. That requires numerous meetings, budget sign-offs and third party production schedules. So, we only create content very occasionally, losing our online audience engagement because we dont create enough, high quality video content, regularly enough. That’s why having your own studio is the answer.

There is no more powerful way of supercharging audience engagement than by live streaming to them.

Constant, regular live content creation makes your audience feel you care about them and listen. But live streaming sessions can be complex and difficult to set up. Production companies costs for a multi-camera live shoot or live stream mean you need to be very careful and selective about what you produce.

That’s why building a small, high quality, live streaming studio means your content creation can be driven by your needs and not by your budget.

Who’s it for?

Whether you are a broadcaster, online publisher, commercial company or a home based podcaster, I will take you through a structured process of deciding on the right equipment for your needs, designing the studio, building it, installing all the equipment and then how to design and run regular live streams, even focussing on how to hone your on-camera performances so you come across as relaxed, confident and professional each and every time.

Broadcast TV Studios

Live streamed TV news shows, magazine shows, talk shows, etc, produced to high end broadcast quality standards. Whether with a real set, or a Chroma keyed virtual studio, more and more publishers are taking on the network giants with highly profitable and highly successful online TV shows, which can be streamed via various CDNs direct to peoples TVs.

Visual Radio

Increasingly, radio stations are supercharging their audience numbers, reach and engagement by Live Streaming their radio shows online with simple video live stream set ups, lighting solutions and carefully created backgrounds. Visual radio is breathing new life into conventional radio - so don't miss out.

Commercial Live Streaming Studios

If you have a business of any kind, engaging your audience is THE key to your success. Yet content creation using external agencies or production crews can be eye-wateringly expensive. That's where building your own small, branded Live Streaming TV studio will be the best money you can spend, so that content creation can produced as and when you need it, not just when you can afford it.

Home studios

Whether it's online zoom meetings, presentations, or webinars, you need to make sure you look your best, which is why more and more people are now building their own small TV studios, choosing quality cameras, setting up professional lighting and searching out decent sound solutions.

HOME STUDIOS

Want to build a home studio? Whether it’s just one camera, or several, increasingly we all work from home these days and we’re judged so much on how professional we look. If you need to look slicker on camera, whether it’s just for Zoom meetings or whether it’s for online interviews or presentations, then this course is for you.

CORPORATE, MARKETING, PR or CONTENT CREATION STUDIOS

We were told that learning how to shoot with Smartphones would allow us to start producing a stream of content for customers and audiences. Alas, all that shooting and editing takes time. That’s where having your own small, simple studio, that can be switched on and off with one switch and as all there, set-up and ready to go, makes so much sense. The limit to how much content you can create is no longer limited by your budget or agency availability, but with your own studio it’s only limited by your own ambitions and ideas.

BROADCAST or DIGITAL PUBLISHERS STUDIOS

Creating broadcast quality, studio based TV shows is now cheaper than ever before and with regular online shows, it’s a fantastic way of engaging and building your audience and competing with national and global networks. Broadcast quality studios are now so cost effective that by not exploring this option you’re handing your competition an immediate advantage, and it really is the case that those who jump first will have the upper-hand.

BE HONEST, IS YOUR COMPETITION DOING BETTER THAN YOU?

Audiences will only stay engaged with you, if you can create a constant stream of video content. But that takes a lot of time, resources and money. Some organisations can just throw money at the solution, constantly shooting and editing new films.

That’s why more and more people are building their own TV studios, where they can go live or record content to post online. It costs nothing to record each time, you don’t need to get expensive agencies in and there’s no long set up time, you just switch the studio on, hit record or live and create your new content. You don’t need to get budget signed off each time you want to create new content for your customers – you just record it. This approach supercharges audience engagement, audience reach and audience growth.

Summary

WHO IS YOUR TRAINER?

I worked in live TV across the BBC for 23 years, both on the technical side, behind the cameras, then Directing and vision mixing, and then on the editorial side Producing. Once I left the BBC 10 years ago, I started recording online training courses using a multi-camera Virtual studio. This worked well and quickly achieved great visibility but I needed to really hone the production process to be faster and more efficient.

When COVID came I wanted to be able to do multi-camera, live streamed training with play in content and various interactive tools, so i built a new ‘real’ studio set, which is known as the engine room and has somewhat become my brand. More and more people saw the studio on camera and wanted to know how I’d built it and what equipment I used and why. Increasingly I started helping people build their own home studios. This lead to larger studio design, installation, consultancy work and training, for broadcasters and online publishers around the world.

I have helped create Live Stream studios for home based workers, commercial organisations and broadcast giants. I can help you identify the perfect set up for what you want to do, saving you money and time along the way.
