Full technical project management of complex multicamera production shot on location in a busy live hotel environment in central London. We rigged The Langham (a working environment) to effectively serve as a studio space in which to facilitate a high-end multicamera, reality food show.

Running a multi camera competition format in a working 5 star hotel was at one point looking like an almost impossible feat as there were multiple rooms and up to 10 cameras at any one time. However, Henry (Unit Manager, Hotcam) and his team were so professional from the outset. From the recce all the way through the production, no challenge was too much. They created a full working gallery in the basement where I had access to multi cameras in multiple locations. There was not a single moment when I had anything but perfect pictures. Ash (Tech Director, Hotcam) and Lucy (Engineer, Hotcam) were outstanding, even when we swapped locations they just delivered whilst always smiling. How they engineered all this, I have NO idea, but the results were faultless.
