About us

A resource for people who make television in motion.

celebmixel brings together practical guidance on studio equipment, camera work, light, sound and workflow for UK television news and live shows.

Why we exist

Live and news television leaves very little room for error. The best crews are not lucky, they are prepared. celebmixel exists to share the preparation: how to set up a studio, move a camera with confidence, shape light, capture clean sound and keep a show running to time.

What we stand for

Craft first

Good television starts with well-prepared kit, clean cabling and careful framing. We teach the fundamentals properly.

Calm under pressure

Live shows never go exactly to plan. We help crews build habits that keep them steady when they do not.

Share what works

We pass on routines that have worked on real shows, so no team has to learn the hard way on air.
