Crewsouth can provide mulit-camera livestreams to social media platforms for a variety of events.

A major shift in our industry has quickly emerged over the past year, and Crewsouth is leading the way in offering "virtual production.” 

Recently, we had an opportunity to film a virtual production with Usher and the Global Citizen award recipient, Bryan Stevenson, in honor of his work with the Equal Justice Initiative.  We were on location with Mr. Stevenson at EJI in Montgomery, Alabama filming on a 9’x20’ green screen.  Usher was in a remote location interviewing Stevenson via a Zoom call through a laptop.     To make this happen, every detail had to be pre-produced.  We took exact measurements for camera placements, lighting, and matched focal lengths with the other crew so that Stevenson’s placement alongside Usher would look authentic.   We provided the team of producers with…

With the challenges of Covid, Crewsouth was called by IBML, the information capture and manufacturing technology company based in Irondale, Alabama, to help produce a series of “virtual roadshows” via Zoom.  Crewsouth provided full service production design of the virtual event including: video content production for video roll ins, set design, lighted set elements, multicamera live switching, and stage management for several hour-long presentations livestreamed to IBML’s clients in the US as well as international locations.   Crewsouth uses Blackmagic Design switchers and broadcast decks for professional, yet portable, live on-location video production and streaming. Although we have experience over the years producing live events and…

2020 has certainly been a whirlwind for everyone.

I’m Spencer Cooper, owner of Crewsouth, and I wanted to let you know a little more about me and how I started in the business.

We are delighted to announce the launch of our new website!

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,…

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…

Crewsouth’s live shot studio is used all of the time by news and sports networks such as CNN, ESPN, HLN, NFL Network, The Weather Channel, and NBC News. Our new 75 inch HD television monitor allows us to display any image or background at any network’s request. Crewsouth streams the video over a high-speed fiber connection by using LTN Global, which allows television networks all over the world to use our studio for live shots and video feeds.  

Crewsouth went to the Alabama Gulf Coast to visit the Dauphin Island Sea Lab. We worked with Alabama Public Television and the University of Alabama for the nature documentary series Discovering Alabama. The picture is from a slow motion shoot from around the Gulf of Mexico and the Mobile Bay. This lightning strike appeared for only one frame! The video is from 4K footage shot with the Sony PXW-FS7.  

Crewsouth regularly works as ENG news crews for all of the television networks throughout the south. Crewsouth was in Nashville, Tennessee as the camera crew for NBC News and The Today Show. We were right on the red carpet at the CMT Awards, interviewing some of country music’s biggest names. NBC’s fashion correspondent Lilliana Vasquez talked to Florida Georgia Line, Martina McBride, Carrie Underwood, and Tim McGraw and about their nominations, awards, as well as their bold fashion choices.

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.

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.

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.
