De-rig Galleries have become a regular feature in modern Televison making. Amos Audio have designed and installed Sound set ups in various locations.

 

Little Mix; The Search

A de-rig set up was built at the Backsatge Centre , Purfleet for the filming of phases 1,2,3 of Little Mix's Talent show for the BBC. Amos Audio was involved in the planning and

design of the Sound Gallery , with Terry Tew supplying

PA , Radio mics , comms and Broadcast Desks. The show was captured on a Pro Tools HD system with Pix 270i back ups. The Cameras were mainly Sony FX9s and sync'ing was via ambient lockit boxes.

 

 

Family Brain Games

Working alongside Multi Camera Solutions , we turned an unused floor of Pfizer's Discovery Park , Sandwich into a Studio floor with adjacent Gallery . The show pitted the wits of two families in a series of diverse brain games , hosted by Dara O'Briain . We also recorded  actuality with the familes while they were in their respective green rooms. Audio wise it was a combination of PSC and Studio sound , which involved lots of pre hears , foldback , Voice Over and computer gaming .
