As the gates open at the world-renowned Hay Festival, the team at Bubble Production are once again behind the scenes delivering live broadcast coverage across the site.
For the next 11 days, our crew will be managing an ambitious live streaming and recording operation that keeps audiences connected both on-site and around the world.
This year’s setup includes:
Over 2 kilometres of cable infrastructure
4 fully live-broadcast stages
5 cameras operating on each main stage
An additional 4 streamed stages across the festival site
Multiple remote production locations
More than 80 live events streamed
Nearly 600 hours of recorded content
From authors and artists to politicians, performers and global thinkers, every session demands flawless coordination between camera operators, sound engineers, vision mixers, stream technicians and production management.
While audiences enjoy the conversations on stage, our team is working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure every moment is captured, streamed and delivered to viewers everywhere with broadcast-quality reliability.
Large-scale live event production takes planning, precision and a huge collaborative effort — and Hay Festival is one of the highlights of the year for the Bubble Production crew.
We’re proud to be supporting another incredible festival and helping bring these conversations to audiences across the globe.
Having the right tools for the job is essential in live production. Keeping those tools protected, organised, and instantly deployable is just as important.
At Bubble Production, our robotic camera and PTZ workflows rely heavily on gimbals adapted as precision camera heads. Until recently, however, we were losing 5–10 minutes per unit assembling gimbals on site—valuable time during live event setups where efficiency matters.
The Challenge: Transporting Fully-Rigged Gimbals Safely
On paper, it sounds simple: build a case for a gimbal.
In reality, it’s anything but.
Each unit needed to:
Hold a fully-rigged gimbal with camera and lens attached
Accommodate an awkward, unbalanced shape
Prevent movement or vibration during transport
Be ready to deploy instantly, without re-assembly
Protect delicate motors, arms, and electronics
This wasn’t about storage—it was about live production speed and reliability.
The Solution: Suspended, Ready-to-Deploy Gimbal Cases
The team at Flightcase Warehouse rose to the challenge with a beautifully engineered solution.
Rather than resting the gimbals in foam, the units are suspended within the case:
Mounted temporarily using a single bolt
A top plate sits securely into a precision recess
The gimbal arms are locked for travel
Closed-cell padding lines the case walls for full protection
On the double cases, two flat lift-out panels with integrated hand grips secure each gimbal. Open the lid, lift the panels, and the units come straight out—no tools, no build time.
Simple. Smart. Bulletproof.
Faster Setups, Safer Transport, Happier Crew
We now have:
Six gimbals housed in double cases
Additional single cases for polecam and specialist deployments
Every unit pre-rigged, protected, and road-ready
The impact across last season’s events was massive. Faster installs, less stress on site, and far better protection for some of our most critical camera systems.
Honestly, the only question we keep asking ourselves is: why didn’t we do this sooner?
Thanks to Flightcase Warehouse
Huge thanks to Jase and the team at Flightcase Warehouse for delivering yet another rock-solid solution tailored perfectly to live production realities.
When it comes to custom flight cases for broadcast, live events, and robotic camera systems, they absolutely nailed it—and these cases are now a permanent part of the Bubble Production workflow.
Multi-Camera Live Screen Coverage for Sports Events: Engaging Crowds, Activating Sponsors, Creating Spectacle
Live sport is no longer just about what happens on the course, track, or arena floor. For today’s audiences, the on-site experience is just as important as the competition itself. Giant LED screens, powered by intelligent multi-camera live coverage, now play a central role in how spectators engage with sports events.
At Bubble Production, we specialise in multi-camera filming for giant screens, transforming sports events into high-impact live experiences that amaze spectators, activate sponsors, and deliver real entertainment value.
Why Multi-Camera Giant Screen Coverage Is Essential at Live Sports Events
At large-scale sports events, not every spectator has a clear view of the action. Multi-camera live screen coverage ensures that every moment is visible, engaging, and shared across the venue.
By delivering multiple live camera feeds directly to on-site LED screens, event organisers can:
Bring spectators closer to the action, wherever they are standing
Showcase key moments, reactions, and finishes in real time
Build atmosphere and excitement throughout the venue
Keep audiences engaged during natural pauses in competition
The result is a more immersive, inclusive, and memorable spectator experience.
Multi-camera screen coverage is about far more than visibility — it’s about creating a live show.
Our directors actively curate the on-screen experience, blending live action with emotional storytelling. From pre-race anticipation to finish-line drama and crowd reactions, the screens become a focal point that connects spectators to the event on a deeper level.
This approach keeps energy high, maintains audience attention, and ensures the event feels dynamic from start to finish.

Powerful Sponsor Activation Through Live Screen Content
Giant screens are one of the most effective tools for sponsor activation at sports events — when used creatively.
Our multi-camera workflows allow sponsors to be integrated seamlessly into the live experience through:
Branded live segments and moments
Athlete features and on-site interviews
Crowd engagement and participation shots
Smooth transitions between competition and sponsor messaging
Rather than static advertising, sponsors become part of the story — increasing visibility, recall, and audience connection.
Purpose-Built for On-Site Sports Events
Unlike traditional broadcast production, on-site screen coverage must respond instantly to what’s happening in front of a live crowd.
Every Bubble Production setup is designed specifically for:
Venue layout and spectator positioning
Screen size, resolution, and viewing distance
Athlete movement and key action zones
Crowd flow, presentation schedules, and sponsor requirements
Using a combination of broadcast cameras, robotic cameras, and compact systems, we capture dynamic angles that feel exciting, immediate, and perfectly suited to large-format LED screens.
Trusted at Major International and UK Sports Events
We’ve delivered multi-camera live screen coverage for a wide range of prestigious sports events, including:
World Triathlon
World Para Triathlon
European Taekwondo Championships
Super League Triathlon
Brighton Marathon
These events demand precise coordination, fast decision-making, and reliable systems — exactly where our experience delivers the greatest value.
Why Bubble Production Leads in Multi-Camera Live Event Coverage
Our leadership in on-site sports screen production comes from combining technical excellence with creative direction:
Specialists in multi-camera filming for giant screens
Directors focused on spectator engagement and energy
Advanced robotic and remote camera solutions
Calm, experienced crews operating in live environments
Proven ability to deliver engaging, sponsor-ready content
Every decision we make is driven by one goal: enhancing the live experience for spectators and partners alike.
Elevating Sports Events Through Spectacular Screen Content
Giant screens are no longer an add-on — they are a core part of modern sports presentation. When powered by expertly directed multi-camera coverage, they transform competitions into immersive live experiences that audiences remember long after the event ends.
At Bubble Production, we help sports organisers amaze crowds, activate sponsors, and create unforgettable live entertainment through intelligent, reliable, multi-camera screen production.
We’re excited to share that Hay Festival has selected us to deliver its vision and broadcast services for the next three years. This new contract marks an important step for our team and strengthens our long-term partnership with the festival.

Crafting a Visual Experience That Respects the Score
Classical music is as much a visual experience as it is an auditory one. Every bow stroke, breath, and cue from the conductor tells part of the story. At Bubble Production, we specialise in filming, streaming, and recording live classical music in a way that honours both the music and the musicians—while bringing audiences closer than ever before.
Understanding the Demands of Classical Music Filming
Filming classical music is fundamentally different from covering other live events. Performances are carefully structured, dynamics change constantly, and moments of musical importance can be subtle yet powerful. Because of this, successful classical music filming demands far more than simply pointing cameras at a stage.
Our approach is built on preparation, musical knowledge, and precision. Before a single camera rolls, we study the score, rehearse shot plans, and align our visual storytelling with the composer’s intent. As a result, the finished film feels musical, not mechanical.
Music Directors Who Read the Score
What truly sets Bubble Production apart is our team of experienced music directors. They don’t just watch the performance—they read the score in real time. This allows them to anticipate solos, transitions, and key musical moments before they happen.
Consequently, camera cuts feel natural and expressive rather than reactive. A solo oboe emerges seamlessly into view. A subtle string entry is captured at exactly the right moment. In short, the visuals move with the music, not against it.
Robotic and Micro Cameras for an Intimate Perspective
To preserve the atmosphere of a live performance, we rely heavily on discreet technology. Our well-placed robotic cameras and micro cameras allow us to capture close-up detail without disrupting musicians or audiences.
Because these cameras are silent and unobtrusive, they are ideal for sensitive venues and quiet passages. At the same time, they offer viewers an intimate perspective—hands on keys, bows on strings, and subtle conductor gestures—that would otherwise be missed from the stalls.
From Grand Venues to Intimate Spaces
We have filmed classical music performances across the UK in a wide range of settings. These include iconic venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, historic cathedrals, the grandeur of Blenheim Palace, and academic landmarks like the Sheldonian Theatre. We have also covered performances in great parks and open-air environments, each with its own technical and acoustic challenges.
Regardless of location, our team adapts the production to suit the space. Lighting, camera placement, and audio capture are all carefully balanced to respect the venue while delivering broadcast-quality results.
Working with Orchestras of Every Size
Over the years, we have worked with a wide spectrum of ensembles—from major symphony orchestras to small chamber quartets. This breadth of experience allows us to scale each production appropriately.
For large orchestras, we focus on clarity, structure, and visual cohesion. For smaller ensembles, we prioritise intimacy and detail. Either way, our goal remains the same: to present the performance faithfully and beautifully.
Live Streaming and Recording for Modern Audiences
Today’s audiences expect flexibility. Live streaming enables concerts to reach viewers far beyond the venue, while high-quality recordings extend the life of a performance long after the final note fades.
By combining musical direction with reliable streaming infrastructure and cinematic filming techniques, Bubble Production helps classical music organisations connect with global audiences—without compromising artistic integrity.
Filming Classical Music with Care and Precision
Ultimately, filming classical music is about trust. Musicians trust us to represent their work accurately. Venues trust us to operate respectfully. Audiences trust us to deliver an engaging and authentic experience.
At Bubble Production, we take that responsibility seriously. Every concert we film is approached with care, musical understanding, and technical excellence—because classical music deserves nothing less.
Final Thoughts
Filming, streaming and recording Live Classical Music can be complicated — it demands planning, the right approach, and the right expertise. Whether you’re going live from a concert stage, an historic venue, or a field in the middle of nowhere, the key is preparation and professionalism.
If you need help in this area our team at Bubble provides all the support, on-site crew, and technical solutions
Corporate communication has changed rapidly in recent years. As a result, internal meetings, leadership updates, product launches, and large-scale events no longer depend on physical venues alone. Instead, organisations increasingly use corporate live streaming to reach employees, customers, and stakeholders instantly — wherever they are.
So, what is corporate live streaming, and why has it become such an important part of modern business communication?
What Is Corporate Live Streaming?
Corporate live streaming is the real-time broadcast of business-focused events over the internet. Depending on the audience, organisations can stream these events publicly or privately while maintaining security, reliability, and control.
Unlike informal video calls or basic webcam setups, professional corporate live streaming relies on:
Rather than simply transmitting video, this approach delivers a polished viewing experience that actively protects brand reputation and reinforces credibility.
Typically, organisations deliver corporate live streams via:
Private corporate portals
LinkedIn Live
YouTube Live
Microsoft Teams Live Events
Custom streaming platforms
Therefore, when quality matters — and when reputational risk is a concern — professional corporate live streaming provides the level of control businesses need.
What Is Corporate Live Streaming Used For?
Because of its flexibility, corporate live streaming supports a wide range of communication goals for both internal and external audiences.
For example, common use cases include:
Company-wide town hall meetings
Leadership updates and internal announcements
Product launches and brand announcements
Conferences and corporate events
Investor briefings and AGMs
Training sessions and webinars
Hybrid events combining in-person and remote audiences
As a result, organisations can communicate clearly and consistently, regardless of location or audience size.
The Benefits of Corporate Live Streaming
Greater Reach Without Added Complexity
One of the biggest advantages of corporate live streaming is its ability to reach large audiences simultaneously. Employees, customers, and stakeholders can join from anywhere in the world without travel or venue limitations.
Consequently, organisations remove geographical barriers while ensuring everyone receives the same message at the same time.
A Stronger, More Professional Brand Image
Importantly, how a live stream looks and sounds directly affects how audiences perceive an organisation. Poor audio, unstable connections, or low-quality visuals can quickly undermine trust.
By contrast, professional corporate live streaming delivers:
Clear, consistent audio
High-quality multi-camera video
Branded graphics and seamless presentation playback
Stable, uninterrupted streaming
Together, these elements create a broadcast-quality experience that builds confidence and authority.
Higher Engagement Through Live Interaction
In addition, live streaming creates immediacy. When audiences know an event is happening live, they are more likely to attend and remain engaged.
Furthermore, interactive features such as live Q&A, moderated chat, and audience polling encourage participation rather than passive viewing. For this reason, corporate live streaming works particularly well for leadership communications, training sessions, and hybrid events.
Long-Term Value From Every Broadcast
Although the event streams live, the content continues to deliver value afterwards. In fact, organisations often record live streams and repurpose them into:
On-demand viewing content
Short highlight videos
Internal training resources
Social media assets
As a result, businesses maximise return on investment from every live broadcast.
Corporate Live Streaming in Practice
For example, a company may host a quarterly town hall for staff across multiple offices. The live stream can combine presentations, pre-recorded content, branded graphics, and a moderated Q&A, all delivered securely via a private platform.
Similarly, a product launch streamed live to LinkedIn and YouTube can use multi-camera coverage and professional audio to reach customers, partners, and media with maximum impact.
Meanwhile, hybrid conferences continue to grow in popularity. These events bring together in-person and remote audiences, allowing everyone to access the same high-quality content at the same time.
Why Professional Corporate Live Streaming Matters
While basic tools make live streaming possible, corporate live streaming demands reliability. Buffering, audio dropouts, or stream failures can damage viewer confidence and reflect poorly on the organisation delivering the message.
To prevent this, professional production reduces risk through:
Redundant internet connectivity
Dedicated encoding and streaming hardware
Experienced technical crews
Rehearsed workflows and contingency planning
Ultimately, professional corporate live streaming ensures your message is delivered clearly, consistently, and without disruption.
Corporate Live Streaming with Bubble Production
At Bubble Production, we deliver broadcast-quality corporate live streaming across the UK. From initial planning through to live delivery, we actively manage every stage to ensure a seamless experience for both clients and viewers.
Whether you’re hosting an internal update, launching a product, or delivering a large-scale hybrid event, professional live streaming ensures your message reaches the right audience — live, on time, and without compromise.
What is the difference between corporate live streaming and video conferencing?
Corporate live streaming focuses on delivering a broadcast-quality experience to large audiences. In contrast, video conferencing is designed for small group interaction. Live streaming prioritises production quality, reliability, and brand presentation, while video conferencing prioritises conversation.
Do I need professional live streaming for internal events?
Yes, especially when reliability and clarity matter. Leadership updates, town halls, and company-wide announcements benefit from professional live streaming because it ensures clear audio, stable delivery, and consistent messaging across the organisation.
Can corporate live streams be private and secure?
Absolutely. Corporate live streams can run behind secure logins, password protection, or private portals. This allows organisations to restrict access to internal teams, partners, or invited stakeholders only.
What platforms can corporate live streaming be delivered to?
Corporate live streaming can be delivered to platforms such as LinkedIn Live, YouTube Live, Microsoft Teams Live Events, private corporate portals, or fully custom streaming platforms, depending on your audience and objectives.
Can a corporate live stream be recorded?
Yes. Most corporate live streams are recorded as standard. Organisations can then use the recording for on-demand viewing, internal training, marketing content, or social media assets.
What are the risks of not using professional live streaming?
Without professional production, live streams are more vulnerable to audio issues, buffering, stream dropouts, and poor visual quality. These issues can distract audiences and damage brand perception, particularly during important or high-profile events.
How far in advance should a corporate live stream be planned?
Ideally, planning should begin several weeks in advance. This allows time for technical planning, platform testing, rehearsals, and contingency preparation, ensuring the live stream runs smoothly on the day.
Live streaming: one of the most powerful ways to connect audiences, no matter where they are.
Whether you’re broadcasting a music festival, corporate conference, sports match, or community event, a professional live stream extends your reach far beyond the venue.
At Bubble, we specialise in multi-camera outside broadcasts across the UK — and in this guide, we’ll walk you through how to live stream an event from start to finish, including the gear, platforms, and tips you need to deliver a smooth, high-quality production.
Understand Your Audience and Objectives
Before you switch on the cameras, define who you’re streaming to and why.
Ask yourself:
Do you want to reach a global audience or just remote attendees in the UK?
Is the stream free to watch, or ticketed behind a paywall?
Will it be a one-off broadcast or part of a regular series?
Your goals determine your streaming setup, platform, and budget.
Choose the Right Streaming Platform
There’s no one-size-fits-all. Here are some common options for UK event streaming:
YouTube Live – Free and widely accessible, ideal for large public events.
Facebook Live – Great for engaging community and social audiences.
Vimeo Livestream – Professional control with branding and analytics.
Twitch – Perfect for gaming, eSports, or interactive content.
Private Streams – For ticketed or corporate events where access control and security are key.
Many UK event organisers combine a main platform for public viewers and a private feed for partners or sponsors.
Plan Your Production Setup
For a professional broadcast, especially outdoors or multi-camera shoots, planning is everything.
Key components include:
Cameras: HD or 4K cameras with clean HDMI/SDI outputs.
Switcher: A live vision mixer for multi-camera control.
Audio: Mixers, microphones, and monitoring — audio quality can make or break a stream.
Encoders: Hardware (LiveU) or software (OBS, vMix) to send your feed online.
Internet Connection: Bonded 4G/5G, fibre, or satellite uplink for a stable upload speed.
💡 Pro Tip: Always test your upload bandwidth and have a backup connection ready — even the best camera setup can’t fix a lost signal.
Test Everything (Then Test Again)
Run a full technical rehearsal before the event. Check:
Camera angles and lighting.
Audio levels and sync.
Stream latency and buffering.
Graphics, titles, and lower thirds.
Internet redundancy and power backups.
Record the rehearsal to spot issues before they go live.
Go Live — Smoothly and Professionally
On the day:
Begin streaming 15–30 minutes early to capture the atmosphere.
Monitor the feed on multiple devices.
Keep clear communication between camera ops, director, and tech team via intercoms or headsets.
Capture backup recordings locally — so you can repurpose content later.
Post-Event: Repurpose and Review
After the event, the live stream can continue to deliver value:
Edit highlight reels for social media.
Upload the full recording for on-demand viewing.
Share analytics with sponsors and partners.
Review what worked (and what didn’t) for the next broadcast.
When to Hire a Professional Crew
If you’re hosting a high-profile or large-scale event, it’s worth partnering with a professional multi-camera broadcast team like us at Bubble Production. Experienced crews handle:
Multi-camera switching
Audio mixing and intercoms
Live graphics and branding
Streaming to multiple platforms simultaneously
Reliable transmission from remote locations
With the right team and technology, your audience experiences your event exactly as you imagined — live, high-quality, and uninterrupted.
Live streaming : Final Thoughts
Live streaming doesn’t have to be complicated — but it does demand planning, reliable equipment, and the right expertise. Whether you’re going live from a concert stage, a corporate venue, or a field in the middle of nowhere, the key is preparation and professionalism.
If you need help live streaming your event anywhere in the UK, our team at Bubble provides full multi-camera broadcast production, on-site crew, and streaming solutions for events of all sizes.
Multi-Camera vs Single Camera — Which Setup Is Best for Your Live Stream?
When planning a live stream or video production, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing between a single-camera setup or a multi-camera production. Both options are widely used across UK events, but the right choice depends on your budget, event style, and the level of quality your audience expects.
At Bubble Production, we deliver everything from simple one-camera corporate streams to full broadcast-grade multi-camera shows across the UK. This guide will help you understand the difference so you can choose the setup that best fits your event.
What Is a Single-Camera Setup?
A single-camera setup uses one camera operator capturing the entire event from one viewpoint. It’s simple, reliable and cost-effective — ideal for smaller events with minimal movement.
Best For:
Corporate webinars and presentations
Training sessions
Interviews and talking-head videos
Small performances
Events where speakers remain in one position
Pros of Single Camera
✔ Low cost ✔ Quick setup and fewer crew ✔ Perfect for straightforward content
Cons of Single Camera
✘ Limited visual variety ✘ Difficult to capture audience reactions ✘ If the camera view is blocked, the shot is lost
Best choice when: you need a clean, simple and affordable stream without the need for dynamic coverage.
What Is a Multi-Camera Setup?
A multi-camera setup uses two or more cameras positioned around the venue to capture multiple angles. A vision mixer or director switches between these cameras live, delivering a dynamic, broadcast-quality viewing experience.
Best For:
Live music, theatre and performance events
Awards ceremonies and product launches
Corporate conferences and hybrid events
Sports, outdoor events and panel discussions
Pros of Multi-Camera
✔ Visually engaging and professional ✔ Smooth coverage of movement and audience interaction ✔ Perfect for high-profile or public-facing content ✔ Built-in redundancy — if one camera fails, others continue
Cons of Multi-Camera
✘ Higher cost (additional crew, cameras and coordination) ✘ Longer setup time ✘ Requires experienced technical operators
Best choice when: you want to impress viewers, capture every moment, and deliver a polished broadcast-level production.
