STUDIO E / LIVE PRODUCTION

BYU–Pathway Live Broadcasts

Studio setup, video switching, & audio mixing for live broadcasts with Studio E.

Project Overview

I work with Studio E on live broadcasts for BYU–Pathway. My role spans set design, lighting, camera setup, video switching, audio mixing, and booth supervision.

The Challenge

In a live broadcast, camera cuts, audio levels, and transitions reach the audience as they happen. The booth needs usable angles and a clear mix from the start, with room to follow changes in timing.

Preparing the Studio

Before going live, I help prepare the set, lighting, and cameras. Framing and lighting choices determine which shots are available to the switcher once the broadcast starts.

In the Booth

During the broadcast, I work at the video switcher, selecting camera feeds as the program moves from one moment to the next. I also mix audio and have supervised the booth, where picture, sound, and timing come together.

Reflection & Takeaways

The camera angles we prepare and the audio we check ahead of time give the team room to respond when the program changes pace. Working on both sides of the broadcast lets me see how those setup choices affect what the booth can do live.
