FAQ’s
We have limited budget, how can we maximise the grandure of our event?
If your project demands a low budget, there is always an improvement we can make to elevate your content.
Whether this is lighting design, a low cost camera grip option or the use of music within the broadcast, we can always find a way to make a project work for the money your client wishes to spend.
FAQ’s
We don’t want to send a whole crew abroad, how can we minimise the cost of production?
Remote production has become a staple use in the TV industry, with major broadcasts choosing to send camera and audio feeds back to the UK for production. This has many advantages by reducing staffing costs onsite and ultimately reducing travel and hotel costs.
The UK crew is able to remotely produce a programme, with minimal delay to the outgoing broadcast, by sending all lines back to local mixers, enabling our production teams to mix the content, add graphics and VT content, all while in constant communication with the team abroad.

We don’t have any internet at the site we are planning our project, how can we live stream?
Live Works are able to offer a range of solutions to this problem, with a range of cost benefits attached.
You might have a low budget, meaning we will use low cost solutions such as K-Bands satellites and Starlink, support by 4G / 5G failovers.
Or if you don’t have any budget restrictions, we are able to utilise BT circuits, either at the location you are using or via satellite uplink trucks.
Whatever your budget there is always an option to get your broadcast out to your audience.
