Versace 2011

In October each year we run an event at the 6-star Palazzo Versace Hotel, on the Gold Coast.  The event runs over four days, and consists of daytime “corporate” sessions and evening dinners, all of which take place in the main ballroom.

The main challenge is the short changeover time between the day and evening sessions.

Digital Consoles Seminar

Saturday May 7 at Parramatta saw the most recent Digital Consoles Seminar take place.  Pushing buttons and faders, staring intently at the screens and learning to be brave with the technology was the order of the day and with over 50 people attending, it was a busy one. Both sessions were booked out entirely and it was exciting to see such enthusiasm.

Anatomy of a Broadcast Mix - Eurosport World Cup

Working on the Soccer World Cup can be a bit crazy at times. We’re over in South Africa with Eurosport and with a team of about 40 people there are over eight different languages spoken.

Mixing a live broadcast with a comms feed in one ear, the studio in the other, taking your cues in French, German, Dutch, English and African is a good exercise in concentration.

Easter Broadcast from Sydney Opera House

With a bump-in time of midnight Saturday night, and going live to air on Ch7 from 6am on Sunday morning, time was everything for the recent Wesley Mission ‘Rise and Shine’ Broadcast from the Sydney Opera House.

Australian Open 2010

Looking after the studio audio for Eurosport at the Australian Open was a thoroughly enjoyable job. The mix of cultures and languages amongst the crew created many amusing moments, when we all knew what we wanted to communicate, but nobody could find the right word so everybody could understand at once.

The studio setup was tight, four cameras in a pretty small studio with three presenters, and then the guests had to squeeze in too. When those guests were the top players such as Roger Federer or Serena Williams there would be an additional crowd along with them, and at times we could have up to twelve people in the studio!
