As ever a fabulous crew delivered an amazing job over the 11 days of the festival. Thanks to Fizz for the amazing daily cakes, the students for their hard work in relentless heat, and all the regular crew for the humour, humility and whit you always bring to the job. It couldn’t be done with out you all, and thanks for the picture gallery – especially Jon McLaughlin. Finally a huge thank you to George Tarplee. Without you George we wouldn’t get on air so smoothly.

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:
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.
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 EventsAt 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:
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.
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:
Rather than static advertising, sponsors become part of the story — increasing visibility, recall, and audience connection.
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:
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 EventsWe’ve delivered multi-camera live screen coverage for a wide range of prestigious sports events, including:
These events demand precise coordination, fast decision-making, and reliable systems — exactly where our experience delivers the greatest value.
Our leadership in on-site sports screen production comes from combining technical excellence with creative direction:
Every decision we make is driven by one goal: enhancing the live experience for spectators and partners alike.
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.
Hay Festival welcomes global audiences who care about strong storytelling and high-quality production. Our team will support this mission with a clear focus on creative innovation and technical excellence.
We will provide multi-camera coverage, reliable live streaming, and broadcast-ready digital content throughout the festival. This partnership also gives us space to explore new ideas. We plan to develop fresh broadcast formats and increase digital access so more viewers can enjoy the festival from anywhere.
We continue to invest in advanced production technology and smooth live event delivery. Our aim is simple: capture moments that matter and amplify the voices on each stage. This new agreement helps us shape how cultural events reach audiences around the world.
We’re grateful to our talented crew and to Hay Festival for their trust. The next three years promise exciting growth, and we’re ready to begin.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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:
Therefore, when quality matters — and when reputational risk is a concern — professional corporate live streaming provides the level of control businesses need.
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:
As a result, organisations can communicate clearly and consistently, regardless of location or audience size.
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.
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:
Together, these elements create a broadcast-quality experience that builds confidence and authority.
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.
Although the event streams live, the content continues to deliver value afterwards. In fact, organisations often record live streams and repurpose them into:
As a result, businesses maximise return on investment from every live broadcast.
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.
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:
Ultimately, professional corporate live streaming ensures your message is delivered clearly, consistently, and without disruption.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 has quickly become an essential part of modern events — from conferences and awards nights to product launches, corporate announcements and hybrid gatherings. But one question comes up every time:
“How much does it cost to live stream an event in the UK?”
The truth is that live streaming prices vary widely depending on equipment, crew, venue, internet setup and the level of production quality you need. This guide breaks down every cost factor so you can budget confidently and understand what you’re really paying for.
Several elements contribute to a professional live stream quote. Below are the most important factors that determine the final price.
Your choice of cameras has a major impact on both quality and budget.
Ideal for simple presentations, lectures or internal company announcements.
Lowest-cost option
Minimal crew required
Limited visual variety
Recommended for high-quality broadcasts, events with live audiences, panel discussions or performances.
More dynamic and engaging
Requires additional operators
Higher equipment and crew costs
Typical camera setups:
1 camera — basic events and static presenters
2–3 cameras — most corporate or hybrid events
4+ cameras — complex productions, concerts, large stages
Your live stream needs a destination: YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, Teams, Zoom, a private landing page, or secured login portal.
Costs depend on:
Platform choice (free or paid)
Privacy requirements
Custom branding or bespoke player
Simultaneous streaming to multiple platforms
Professional production teams manage encoding, streaming stability and backups — all key to avoiding dropouts.
Most clients want a recording after the event.
Options include:
Basic event recording
Edited highlight reels
Removing technical pauses
Adding graphics, titles and captions
The more polished the final video needs to be, the higher the post-production cost.
The size of the crew depends on the complexity of your event.
Typical live stream crew roles:
Streaming engineer (core operator)
Camera operators
Vision mixer / director
Sound engineer
Graphics operator
Production manager
A simple setup may only require one or two people. Larger events with multi-camera coverage, roaming microphones or live graphics need more hands.
Every venue presents different challenges that influence cost:
Does the space require additional lighting for presenters?
Is there a sound system already in place?
Are there quiet areas available for production setups?
Is the room large enough for multiple cameras?
Good lighting and clean audio dramatically improve the viewer experience and may require additional equipment.
Reliable internet is essential for live streaming. Options include:
Venue Wi-Fi (unreliable unless dedicated)
Wired ethernet connection (preferred)
Bonded 4G/5G uplink units for locations with poor infrastructure
Satellite backup for remote areas
If the connection fails, the stream fails — so redundancy often adds cost but protects your event.
Depending on the goals of your event, you may choose:
Custom branded graphics and animations
Lower-thirds and speaker names
Live captions or British Sign Language interpretation
Multiple remote guest inputs
Slide capture, screenshare integration or picture-in-picture
Paywall or registration systems
Audience Q&A tools
Live switching between remote and in-person speakers
Each adds value but also contributes to the total budget.
While every event is unique, here are typical price ranges:
Single camera, simple audio, one operator
£650–£1,200
Two or three cameras, graphics, full crew, reliable internet setup
£1,500–£4,500
Large venues, multiple operators, broadcast-level equipment, remote contributors, full branding, redundancy
£5,000–£12,000+
Your final cost depends on scale, technical requirements, add-ons and the production quality you expect.
A great live stream helps you:
Reach audiences anywhere in the world
Increase engagement and attendance
Boost accessibility and replay value
Capture content for marketing and future use
Ensure a polished, reliable experience for viewers
Poor-quality streaming, on the other hand, damages your brand and risks losing your audience entirely.

We’ve been expanding and upgrading our fleet of portable production units, and our newest system — PPU4 — is now in the final build stage. As demand for live event filming, multi-camera production, and broadcast-quality streaming continues to grow, keeping our equipment at the highest standard is essential.
With a packed summer schedule ahead, all eight PPUs and both of our outside broadcast vehicles will be fully deployed. That makes getting this new unit operational a top priority. We have just four days to complete the build before it heads straight to the Hay Festival for its first multi-camera production.
One more day of wiring, assembly, and system configuration should see PPU4 ready for a full day of soak testing — ensuring every camera channel, audio path, and engineering workflow performs flawlessly.
Another day, another build — and another upgrade that strengthens our live production capabilities for clients across the UK.

We’re filming Kim Wilde tonight — four cameras, a four-person crew and a full comms rack on site. This time we’re working for another director who wants to remotely direct our team while we capture four isolated camera feeds for post-production.
These will be mixed later with an additional four static cameras positioned around the venue, giving a full multi-camera view of the concert. A straightforward setup — and a perfect throwback to the best of the 80s revival.
Lights, lenses, and live music… here we go.
