Dependable Productions Music & Events

Whatever your event is, we can cover it. From a single camera to a projector screen to multi-camera directed coverage with live graphics, tape replay, and external contributions via satellite - no event is too large or too small.  You may be covering the event to enhance the experience for those attending, streaming it live to a wider audience online or recording it for distribution by DVD or on your website.

Recent work has included multi-camera coverage of Absolute Radio's Zoo sessions.  From their Christmas Sessions which featured 5 bands in one day including Paul Weller, Travis and The Fray.  Subsequently, we've filmed Razorlight and Chris Martin.  Our experience allows us to deliver the highest quality product at a reasonable budget.  Either using a small OB unit or simple a number of PSC cameras we can turn around the material for deployment to the Absolute Radio website often within minutes of the event, or, as we did with Chris Martin, stream it live while also capturing further material for use online.

Much of the event coverage we produce is destined directly for the internet.  We provide clients with material for their websites, suplly hosted packages and increasingly, supply video for YouTube - a very straightforward way to globalise your potential audience.  Here's Absolute Radio's YouTube Channel which contains a great deal of content we have supplied to them including "Kingdom of Rust" by Doves in High Definition.

Richard Critchlow, Creative Director of Dependable Productions worked in a variety of production roles during his 17 years at the BBC. However, he spent his last 7 years as a Senior Producer of special event coverage for BBC News.  From the final flight of Concorde, New Years Eve Fireworks Displays, Royal events including HM Queen's Golden Jubilee as well as countless smaller events.  His BBC experience is as broad as it is deep.  As Morwen Williams, BBC News Planning Editor, said upon his departure from the BBC to Dependable Productions,

".....It will always work when Richard is at the helm. But it will always work with style imagination and flair. He is so much more than dependable....."
