Last night our team delivered live production for a film premiere, and it was one of those evenings that reminds us why we love this work.
A premiere is a unique brief. It needs the polish of a cinema release and the reliability of a live broadcast, all at once. Every arrival, every interview and every moment on stage happens exactly once, and the coverage has to feel as considered as the film itself.
The kit
At the heart of the operation was our OB3 trailer, giving the team a fully equipped production space on site. From there we could cut, monitor and deliver every feed with complete control.
On the cameras, we chose ARRI bodies fronted by Canon CN7 Cine-Servo lenses. ARRI brings the colour science and image quality that audiences associate with the big screen. The CN7s pair that cinematic look with the zoom range and servo control a live event demands.
The result is the best of both worlds: images that feel like they belong in the film, captured with the speed and flexibility of broadcast.
On the night
Coverage began on the red carpet, where the CN7s let our operators move from wide establishing shots of the arrivals to tight, intimate close-ups in a single move. That range meant we never missed a moment, whether it was a guest stepping out of a car or a candid exchange with the press.
As the evening moved inside to the on-stage moments, the same setup carried through. The large-format feel stayed consistent from first arrival to final applause, giving the whole event a cohesive, cinematic look.
The crew behind it
None of this happens without the people. Huge thanks to our crew for the planning, the long hours and the calm under pressure that made it all look effortless.
We’re proud of what we delivered, and we’re already looking forward to the next one.
