FAQ

Here you will find the answers to the most frequently asked questions.

What does buzzlightup actually cover?

We cover the full studio chain for television news and live shows: equipment setup, camera operation, lighting, sound and the production workflow that ties them together.

Who are your guides and workshops designed for?

Studio managers, camera operators, floor managers, producers and technical teams at UK broadcasters, production companies and in-house corporate studios.

Can you work around a live schedule?

Yes. Most sessions run outside transmission hours, and we plan around bulletins, rehearsals and show days so on-air work is never disrupted.

Do you offer on-site support?

On-site setup reviews and hands-on camera and lighting sessions are available across the United Kingdom. Remote workflow reviews are available too.

How do packages and pricing work?

Each package has a clear price listed on this site. Nothing is bought online: contact us, tell us about your studio, and we will confirm scope and dates in writing.

How quickly will you reply to an enquiry?
