40 TVBEurope The Workflow
Careful planning With five episodes a week to be transmitted, each involving several interior sets, plus shooting on the ‘street’ and other locations, the production schedule is extremely complex. For any given week, 15 episodes are in production.
“The three cameras in the studio will be recorded separately, but there is also a cut version from the vision mixer. An Edit Decision List will also be created. When we are shooting exteriors, two cameras are generally used,” reveals Robinson.
“By lunchtime on the first day of shooting, assistant editors will start compiling clips ready for editing. By the end of the first day, editing will have started” Jon Huddleston, ITV
Each week’s shows are considered as a ‘block’ to which a director is assigned. He or she will receive the script prior to shooting of the assigned programmes. The technical details and set allocation will be worked out and then a 12-day cycle of shooting the five programmes will begin.
Studio recordings are sent
straight to an Avid 4-channel Airspeed 5000. The material is transferred to an Avid Isis 5000. Exteriors are captured on P2 cards which are then reused once transfers and back-ups to the Avid system have been made. “We have back-up units, and within a few seconds of ingest
we have three copies of the recorded material. Even by lunchtime on the first day of shooting, assistant editors will start compiling clips ready for editing. By the end of the first day, editing will have started. The director may visit the edit suite from time to time, but there is a day allocated at the end of the ‘block’ for him or her to review the cut versions.” The post production area includes colour grading rooms, a voiceover booth and dubbing suites.

The stagebox designed by Stan Robinson provides a unique fibre transportation system for the signals around the site
earlier this year — with the first episode from the new location due to be shown in mid-March. “It has been a hectic time,” admits Robinson, “but things have gone well and we can look forward to a long residency in our new Street.”
