Crewsouth performs live shots for news networks all the time, but some of our biggest clients include UK’s ITV and Australia’s Seven Network. Because the Crewsouth studio is available 24/7, ITV can schedule local U.S. newsmakers and political analysts for their morning show Good Morning Britain. These interviews usually occur between midnight and 2:00 A.M. Central! That’s all part of the job, and we’re staffed to handle the live shots at any hour.
Take a look at the most recent Good Morning Britain segment below. Attorney Eric Guster weighs in on recent developments in the political climate in Washington, D.C. Eric Guster is a regular contributor on ITV, Fox News, and CNN.
Crewsouth Equipment-Dana Dolly
The Dana Dolly is a great tool for creating moving shots without the expense and logistical issues of a traditional camera dolly. While a traditional camera dolly is large, hard to transport, and requires a crew to move while shooting, a Dana Dolly is lightweight, can be assembled in minutes, and can be moved by the camera operator. Because the Dana Dolly is light and adjustable, it can be set up and maneuvered with tight spaces (like offices) with minimal disruption. The Dana Dolly is a regular feature on a Crewsouth shoot. It adds a level of professionalism to those corporate videos without breaking the budget.

Video and Audio Recording Formats
When providing camera crew services, CrewSouth often delivers the content directly to the producers after a shoot. It is critical to the producer that content be of the highest quality and ready to use. We are proud to offer a wide range of video and audio recording formats along with expert media handling as another way to meet the needs of our clients.
LED lighting
Interesting thoughts on LED Lighting variance.
For CrewSouth, LED lighting has really changed and enhanced the way we work. The flexibility to go battery power and move around the set more quickly yields truly amazing results.
Sounding on with the Zoom H6
One of our favorite new audio toys is the Zoom H6. The CrewSouth broadcast team appreciates it’s flexibility on the front end for isolated audio track recording with multiple lav wearing talent. Post production loves the back end audio level control.
We love our Sony FS7
If you’ve seen shots of CrewSouth at work, you’ve probably seen our Sony FS7. We just love it and it is one of our favorite tools to ensure great results for our broadcast clients.
The large sensor depth of field control coupled with a ton of useful ENG features allows for faster documentary style shooting with beautiful results. Each camera and manufacturer has it’s strengths and weaknesses, but the mix of features and image quality delivered by the FS7 makes it a perfect fit for what we do.
