How we work under deadline

  1. Speed

    News loses value as it ages, so we plan for quick departures, light kit and short approval loops. Speed here means a calm, rehearsed routine, not rushing and hoping for the best.

  2. Accuracy

    Names, titles, places and quotes are checked before a package leaves us. Captions are read against the audio, and anything uncertain is flagged to your desk rather than guessed.

  3. Fair reporting

    We give people a fair hearing on camera, avoid leading framing and cut interviews so the meaning stays intact. Your editorial line stays yours; we make sure the footage supports it honestly.

Choosing a service

Breaking News Video or Studio News Production

Both produce finished news video, but they suit different situations. This guide helps you decide whether a story needs a crew on location or a controlled studio recording.

Breaking News Video or Studio News Production
ConsiderationBreaking News VideoStudio News Production
Where it is recordedOn location, at or near the event as it developsIn our lit studio set with presenter desk and backdrop
Typical useDeveloping stories, scene reports, vox pops, rapid packagesBulletins, panel discussions, longer interviews, presenter links
Crew and kitSmall mobile crew with handheld and portable lightingMulti-camera setup with autocue, sound and lighting control
Planning neededLittle notice; a brief and a location are enough to startBetter with a running order and guests confirmed in advance
DeliveryCut on return and delivered in your required formatRecorded to a planned schedule, then edited and delivered

Many stories use both: a crew on the ground and a studio link. Tell us the story and deadline and we will suggest the simplest combination.

How quickly can a crew get to a story?
It depends on where the story is and who is free that day. We are based in Chichester, so the south coast is the easiest to reach. Tell us the location and deadline and we will say plainly what is realistic.
Can you work to our house style and delivery format?
Yes. Send us your specification for frame rate, loudness, caption style and file type, and we will deliver to it. If you have graphics or lower-third templates, we can use them in the edit.
Do you only work for television channels?
No. We deliver for broadcast and for online and digital news teams. The formats differ, so we ask at the start where the piece will run and prepare versions for each place.
What do you need from us to start a job?
A short brief is enough: the story, the location or studio need, who we are meeting, your deadline and where the files should go. Contact names on site are very helpful.
Can you record interviews remotely?
Yes. We record short interviews on location or by remote link, with attention to lighting, sound and framing. Remote recordings depend on the guest's connection, so we agree a fallback beforehand.
Will you caption our clips?
Captioning is part of Video Editing and Delivery. We caption to your style and check the text against the audio, so names and technical terms are right before the files are sent.
Can you help fix slow approval and editing steps?
That is the purpose of Newsroom Workflow Setup. We review how material moves from ingest to delivery, point out where it stalls, and agree simpler steps with your team.
How do ordering and payment work?
You send an enquiry through the contact page, we reply with a written quotation or confirmation, and then issue an invoice paid by bank transfer. Cancellations follow our payment and refund policy.
