Events by Knight was recently engaged by a corporate firm in London to provide the audiovisual and technical services for a live news conference to ensure the smooth transmission of audio and video content to viewers.
With less than 10 hours to go before the live broadcast, creative event producer Kwame Knight assembled the technical team and organised the schedule for the broadcast that featured on news outlets such as BBC NEWS, SKY NEWS & many more.
Having years of experience in live broadcasts and events, Events by Knight is adept at working to tight deadlines and challenging briefs. Events by Knight always go above and beyond to ensure that nothing but a professional service is delivered.
Below is an overview of what was involved:
- Camera Setup: Setting up cameras at the location to capture the news anchors, reporters, and relevant visuals.
- Lighting: A good lighting setup was crucial to ensure that the on-air speakers were well-lit and that the set looked professional.
- Audio Equipment: This involved the deployment handheld and lapel microphones to capture the voices of the reporters and speakers and any ambient sound needed to convey the story accurately.
- Video Switching: A video switcher/mixer was utilised to switch between different camera feeds, graphics, and pre-recorded video segments during the broadcast.
