CHANGING SEASONS AND CHANGING TIMES By the time this issue of Televisual Magazine lands, we will be on the cusp of July and right in the thick of a great British Summer. But whatever the weather, it’s always a good excuse to get outside and
enjoy those wide-open spaces, especially as we’ve all spent so much of the last couple of years very much indoors. Getting out and enjoying the world is something wildlife filmmakers are
past masters at, of course, and as our feature on natural history TV finds, with more buyers calling for bigger shows in new formats, those producers are spending a lot more time in the great outdoors right now. Also enjoying the great outdoors again are live TV producers,
especially now major, crowded events are firmly back on the agenda. We hear from those responsible for covering some of the biggest in the 2022 calendar about how they adapted their plans as the world changed. There’s change too in entertainment TV. In our genre report, producers
and commissioners describe a TV sector hungry to add to its slate of long running hits with fresh new formats. We also look at the shiny floor show studios dedicated to hosting them and find a sector evolving into new markets too. This issue, we’re also focussing on one of the most profound shifts

happening across the industry. In just the last few years, discussion around, and solid action on, diversity and inclusion in the media has risen right to the very top of the agenda. We focus on what’s been done so far, and where action is needed next. This issue, we also put the spotlight on craft talent with five of the
hottest directors in TV and film right now talking about the secrets of their craft as well as the editors of three BFE Award winning films and shows about how they cut the perfect narrative. We also look at changes happening in the post and vfx sectors. In vfx,
working almost entirely in the cloud with talent spread out across the globe has become more and more common in recent years. We find out how that is being achieved. There’s a roundtable discussion too on how post is adopting changed workflows by design rather than necessity, a deep dive into audio post and the adoption of Dolby Atmos and a look at the possibilities of the current industry buzz topic, virtual production, and a real-world focus on what’s possible with VP techniques right now. Enjoy the summer.
