Multi-Camera Production Services

Here is how this works in practice. Our multi-camera shoot teams across Australia field 4-12 camera packages with Sony HDC-3500 system cameras, Grass Valley LDX 100, and ARRI Alexa Mini LF for cinematic A-units, fibre-tethered through OB trucks supplied by NEP Australia (the country's dominant outside broadcast vendor) and Gravity Media Sydney.

Here is the short of it. Standard event coverage includes Sydney Mardi Gras (every Feb-Mar, world's largest LGBTQ+ celebration in the Southern Hemisphere), Vivid Sydney (May-June light festival drawing 3M+ visitors), the Melbourne Cup at Flemington Racecourse (first Tuesday of November, 'the race that stops a nation'), the Australian Open at Melbourne Park (800K+ attendance each January), the F1 Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park, and AFL Grand Finals at the MCG (the 100K-capacity largest stadium in the Southern Hemisphere).

Studio multi-cam runs out of Disney Studios Sydney and Village Roadshow Gold Coast for talk shows, panel shows, and broadcast drama where 6-camera setups remain industry standard.

Here is the breakdown. The multi-camera heritage in Australia is anchored by TV networks Seven Network, Nine Network, Ten, ABC, and SBS, all of whom built ENG and OB capacity from the 1956 Melbourne Olympics onward — Australia's first major television event.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Major sports broadcasting credits run from the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games through the 2003 Rugby World Cup, the 2006 and 2018 Commonwealth Games (Melbourne and Gold Coast), to the annual Boxing Day Test at the MCG, the Bathurst 1000 at Mount Panorama, and Big Bash League cricket.

Here is how the picture comes together. We set up ACMA wireless frequency licensing for camera RF, IFB, and talkback, liaise with venue authorities including Venues NSW, Melbourne and Olympic Parks Trust, and Stadiums Queensland, and handle MEAA (Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance) crew agreements with reciprocal recognition for SAG-AFTRA, IATSE, and DGA personnel on global productions.
