buzzynex covers the technical side of audiovisual production, from the first floor plan to the show running on the night. Our work spans studio layout, lighting, camera control, sound, live events and workflow consulting. Each area is handled by a named specialist on our team.
Floor plans, acoustics and cable routing for television and streaming studios of every size.
Lighting plots and rigs for presenters, panels and stage performances.
Camera, vision mixing and remote control setups for multi-camera productions.
Microphone plans, mixing desks and monitoring for concerts, festivals and studio shows.
Technical planning for concerts, festivals and party stages, from stage layout to show control.
Review and simplification of production workflows for broadcast teams, from planning to delivery.
Every project starts with a conversation about your room, crew and schedule. We then put the scope and price in writing so that you know what is included before work begins.
Services
Good studios are rarely about the newest equipment. They come from sensible layouts, tidy cabling and controls that a crew can learn quickly. These are the habits we bring to every fit-out and every live job.
We draw floor plans, cable routes and acoustic treatment before anything is ordered or installed. Reviewing them with your crew catches awkward camera positions, long cable runs and noise problems while they are still cheap to change.
Lighting plots are drawn for the people on screen and the format of the show, whether a single presenter, a panel or a stage act. The rig is designed so that it can be adjusted without a ladder.
We set up camera, vision mixing and remote control so that a small crew can operate a multi-camera show with confidence. Labelling and simple documentation are part of the handover, not an afterthought.
Microphone plans, mixing desks and monitoring are specified together, so that what the engineer hears matches what the audience gets. This applies equally to a studio talk show and an outdoor festival stage.
Most problems on a production day can be traced back to decisions made, or skipped, long before. We ask the same few questions at the start of every project, and they are worth answering whether or not you work with us.
Start with the room as it is. Ceiling height, floor loading, power supply and outside noise all limit what a studio can do. We measure these early and set out what can be treated and what has to be worked around. A modest room with good acoustic treatment and clean cable routing will usually serve a crew better than a large, echoing one.
The size of the crew and the type of programme decide almost everything else. A two-person streaming show needs different camera control from a panel programme with several operators. We ask who will run the studio day to day, so that the controls and the layout match their experience instead of an ideal that nobody has time to learn.
A finished installation should be understood by the people who use it. We provide plans, labelled cabling and a short walk-through, so that your crew can run the studio without calling us. For live events, we agree show control and contingency arrangements in advance, so that everyone knows who decides what on the day.
Plans, quotations and handover notes are written in plain language. You should always know what is being built, what it costs and who on our team is responsible for each part.
We agree the scope in writing and keep to it. Cabling, power and backup arrangements are checked before a show, because a studio is judged on the day it goes live.
Tidy cable runs, sensible labelling and well-drawn lighting plots are small things that add up. We take care over them because crews notice them every working day.
These comments come from clients across studio, venue and event projects. They describe working with us in their own words.
“The floor plan we received showed every camera position and cable route. When we moved in, nothing had to be rearranged. Our small crew was running the first recording within the week.”
“Our function room has awkward acoustics. The monitoring and microphone plan made a clear difference, and the written handover meant our own technician could keep it running without further visits.”
“We asked for a simpler way to move from planning to delivery. The workflow review removed several steps we had been doing out of habit, and the schedule is easier to follow now.”
“The lighting plot for our festival stage was clear and practical. The crew could rig it quickly, and the sound arrangements stayed consistent from the soundcheck through to the final set.”
