The Amazon Kindle Awards Brief

To provide a high-profile live stream announcing the winner of the Amazon Kindle Awards 2021.

The Tech

Yamaha TF1 Mixer, 8 x Panasonic UE70s PTZ Cameras, Sennheiser Radio Mics, Camera Slider.

The Solution Delivered

After the huge success of BT’s Unbreakable Disco featuring Sophie Ellis Bextor, Academy PR asked us to create a similar event with multiple cameras for the Amazon Kindle Awards. The event was to be hosted by the BBC’s Claire Balding and profile the five finalists work and interview each of them before announcing the overall winner.

As we were in a state of high alert with COVID we elected to use multiple PTZ cameras (remote cameras that can be controlled from the gallery) this ensured versatile coverage of the event but kept numbers to a minimum on the studio floor. The cameras were fed into our Blackmagic Constellation 8K, which can take up to 40 inputs. From there, we were able to cut a live show and stream the event onto You Tube.

Using the Panasonics UE70’s meant that we could keep the studio clear of operators to ensure we were covid secure, this meant that the people on set were kept to a minimum with the Producers and PTZ operators in the gallery overseeing the show. Using these UE70s meant that that our gallery director could program different shots. This gave us the flexibility to reframe during the stream if there was a more interesting angle.

The Outcome

Broadley is the perfect one-stop shop. Richard and his team have all the equipment and expertise required to livestream with multiple cameras, taking all the hassle out of event broadcasting. Broadley is a fantastic studio, with great people and great service.

Had a wonderful experience shooting at Broadley last week. The staff are super professional, friendly and helpful. The facilities are excellent, from the comfort and luxury design of the green room to the technical, spatial and ergonomic architecture of the studio. Broadley has such a great creative energy and flowing ambience - it’s a real joy to create there. Many thanks Maddie - Director SFUK

Richard at the studio pretty much saved our shoot. Fitted us in so last minute and he and all the team were so helpful and accommodating both before and during the shoot. We used studio 1 which was spacious and fully equipped, cables, extensions, tape, you name it they had it. We needed the infinity cove to make an ethereal space, and the team pre set the lights so we had a lovely soft white wash ready to go saving us so much time. The space also had a green screen wrap that fitted the entire studio too which meant we actually ended up getting stuff we thought we'd need an extra studio day for. Best studio experience I've had.

Really loved shooting here.. I bought in one of my luxury fashion clients in asking Broadley to deliver the full production brief, from concept to final edit for digital and social channel broadcasts. I chose Broadley for the amazing location too. Marylebone is just perfect for my clients to experience and on site the dressing & green rooms are cosy, nice touches. The team were incredibly helpful, experienced and super-skilled. Thanks to the state of the art in-house tech tech for camera, lighting, gallery, and the dynamic, flexible 2 studio spaces themselves, we're thrilled with the output. We'll be back soon.

Had the pleasure of working with Richard and his team for a client in the US, and cannot recommend them enough. Being a freelancer and having worked with many studios around London I really appreciated their work ethic and professionalism, in addition to the caring and down to earth environment which is something of a rarity. Looks like I found my go-to studio in London!

Fantastic experience filming at Broadley and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a centrally located London studio with great spaces (we were in Studio 2, perfect for filming presenter PTCs). Excellent facilities and customer service – and a big thank you from us at Hound Dog Films to Arjun and the team for looking after us so well. Looking forward to coming back for more.

Fantastic experience at Broadley and would highly recommend for the following reasons:Location - it's outside the CC zone, minutes from Paddington, Marylebone and Baker Street with car parking available nearby as wellStudio - two great spaces - we were in Studio2 which was perfect for filming interviewsFacilities - Green Room was great - screens and sound to monitor the shoot, workspace with high speed wifi, sofa, dressing room, and a wide selection of teas and coffeesCustomer service - this was the highlight for me - Richard, Arjun and the rest of the team were probably the most helpful and accommodating people I've ever worked with - nothing was too much!
