Recording project: six complete TEDx talks, with separately recorded audio and planned wide and close views. Sam worked as Director of Photography.
A two-day, six-speaker TEDx recording using separate field audio, timecode and planned wide and close speaker coverage.
Scope options
Start with what remote viewers need to follow: a speaker, slides, a panel or a demonstration. Tell Sam where they will watch and whether anyone will join remotely. The venue connection, access and recording requirements are assessed for your quote.
Request one defined live program for an authorised audience destination, subject to connection and system review.
List every speaker, room view, slide, playback item or remote contributor that may need to enter the program.
If viewers only need to watch afterwards, request a recording rather than a live stream.

| Decision | Audience stream | Local recording request |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Deliver the program to remote viewers | Retain agreed camera or program files after the event |
| Primary dependency | Destination access and tested venue connectivity | Confirmed recording sources and storage plan |
| Failure planning | Configuration-specific options must be quoted | Requested local records must be listed explicitly |
| Acceptance | Test destination and authorised operator | Verify files and handoff requirements |
Technical preflight
Identify the organisation account and the person authorised to grant access.
Ask the venue for the available connection and testing arrangements; Wi-Fi is not assumed sufficient.
List microphones, slides, playback and any venue system that must reach the program.
Confirm locations, devices, joining method and rehearsal availability.
Provide approved assets and identify who can make live content decisions.
List every local or program recording required rather than assuming it follows from the stream.
Live-stream FAQ
Share the platform and organisation account you want to use. The proposed streaming setup is checked against that destination and its access requirements before the quote is confirmed.
Do not assume so. Request the venue connection details and testing access before the technical scope is confirmed.
Tell Sam who needs to join remotely and whether they need to see or hear people in the room. Their joining method, sound, picture and rehearsal arrangements are assessed before the setup is confirmed.
Request the exact local or program recordings required. Recording is treated separately from delivery to the live audience.
The camera plan follows what remote viewers need to see: a speaker, panel, room view or demonstration. Share those views and any slides or playback so the required sources and crew can be scoped.
Backup options depend on the venue connection and agreed setup. Include any backup and local-recording requirements in your enquiry so they can be assessed and quoted.
