THE TECH VENDORS

JOHN WILLIAMS: During the pandemic, everyone was locked down and working from home, which meant buzzwords like remote production and virtualisation ramped up massively. There were those engineering and technical teams in the background, flat out trying to come up with new ways of working, which is the element that has carried on post-pandemic. In terms of live production, we’re still doing the facilities on-site – but the remote studio operations, including commentary and monitoring, remain in place. As the world has slowly ‘woken up’, it has been interesting to see the different avenues production departments have gone down. It appears many have hurried to get teams back on-site, rebuilding that special atmosphere you get with a live production. However, we see it from the angle that you just don’t need to fly all those people and ship all of that kit. So, we spread it out in our studio facilities or at home – as well as having different ways of working with the core technical crew on-site.
