A Taunton production resource built around the crew
Since 2014 we have helped producers and organisers run television programmes and live events with clear pictures, clean sound and dependable workflows.
How a small Taunton team became a production resource
videlyzo started in 2014 with a simple idea: producers need someone who understands cameras, lighting, audio and signal flow as one system. We work from Hammet Street Yard in Taunton, and the work has stayed close to that original idea.
The company was founded in 2014 by people who had spent years in studios and on live productions and had seen the same problems repeat. Cameras that did not match, lighting that fought the set, audio plans written after the rest was fixed. We wanted to plan these things together, early, and with the crew in the room.
Over the years the work has settled into a few areas: studio camera systems, lighting design, audio engineering, live event production, workflow and signal routing, and studio portrait sessions. They overlap constantly, which is why one team handles them rather than several separate suppliers who rarely speak.
Helen Marsh, our Head of Production, leads planning on every project and has directed studio and live productions for over fifteen years. She is joined by Daniel Whitcombe on lighting, Priya Nair on audio and Tom Eastley on cameras and workflow. Each brings a specialism, and each reviews the others' plans.
We prefer a calm production to a heroic one. That means plans written down, systems tested before rehearsal and crews who know what they are operating. When a show goes out smoothly, the audience notices the programme and not the technology, and that is the measure we use.
We still work in the same unhurried way we began with. A conversation first, a written plan second, and equipment only when the plan calls for it. Clients tend to return because the process is predictable, not because it is dramatic.
What guides the work on every production
Broadcast production leaves little room for guesswork. A crew relies on the plan, and a plan relies on the people who wrote it. These principles shape how we brief, build and support a show, from the first call to the last transmission.
Clarity
Clarity runs through the picture, the sound and the paperwork. We draw plans a crew can follow, label cables and cues plainly, and explain choices in ordinary language. If a decision affects the look of the show, you will see it described before it is made, and any trade-offs are stated openly.
Reliability
Reliability means testing before it matters. We check equipment in setup, rehearse the run of show and prepare for the failures that tend to happen, such as a dropped input or a late presenter. Crews can depend on us to arrive prepared, stay through transmission and keep the system understandable under pressure.
Craft
Craft shows in the details that rarely get noticed: matched cameras, lighting that flatters a presenter without glare, microphones placed to avoid spill. Each specialist on the team has years of practice and reviews the others' work, so the finished system is considered as a whole rather than assembled from parts.
What producers say about working with us
The planning was the difference. Lighting, cameras and audio had been thought through together, so rehearsal was spent refining the show instead of fixing problems. Our crew understood the system by transmission day, and the broadcast ran without drama.
Martin Corrigan · Event organiser, SomersetClear plans, plain explanations and a calm presence on the day. Our conference went out live without a hitch, and the crew knew exactly what to do.
Fiona Barrett · Director, studio talk seriesThe audio work was exceptional in its quiet way. Speech stayed clean through every session, and nobody had to ask us to repeat anything.
Callum Reeve · Head of content, production companyWe had cameras that never quite matched. After the tuning session our pictures looked consistent, and we finally understood why.
