Live Television Director Training, Vision Mixer Training & Broadcast Consultancy
Del Brown, based in London, provides one-to-one live television director training, vision mixer training, broadcast consultancy and mentoring for broadcasters, production companies, live stream teams, corporate studios and educational institutions throughout the UK.
A BAFTA member with more than 25 years of experience, Del has directed and vision mixed productions for Formula 1, Formula E, ITV, Reuters and a wide range of live television, streaming and corporate broadcast clients.
Whether you’re preparing for an important live production, building a new gallery, refining your workflow or stepping into a more senior directing role, every session is tailored specifically to your production, your team and your objectives.
Live Television Director Training & Mentoring
If you’ve got a live production approaching and want the confidence that comes from having an experienced Director/Vision Mixer in your corner, I can help.
I provide one-to-one mentoring for directors at every stage of their career, helping them improve gallery communication, leadership, show planning, cueing, decision-making and confidence under pressure.
Together we’ll identify strengths, eliminate bad habits and develop practical techniques that can be applied immediately on live productions. Training can be delivered remotely or in person.
Vision Mixer Training
Many vision mixers aspire to move into directing roles, while others simply want to strengthen their technical and editorial skills.
I offer bespoke vision mixer training covering gallery workflows, communication techniques, terminology, programme construction, anticipation skills, troubleshooting and working effectively under live broadcast conditions. Sessions are tailored to your experience level and the equipment you use.
Live Production Shadowing & Feedback
Sometimes the most valuable training comes from reviewing real-world performance. I can remotely observe or attend rehearsals, live broadcasts, live streams and recorded productions, providing honest, constructive feedback on your directing style, communication, workflow and gallery management.
This service is particularly valuable for directors preparing for major events, stepping into new roles or looking to refine their performance.
Broadcast Gallery & Studio Consultancy
Planning a new gallery or studio setup? Launching a live streaming facility? Upgrading existing equipment and workflows?
I provide practical consultancy on gallery design, camera positions, operational workflows, crew structures, communication systems and production processes. Having worked across television studios, outside broadcasts, sports presentation facilities, corporate broadcast environments and live streaming operations, I can help identify potential issues before they become expensive mistakes.
Workflow Reviews & Production Consultancy
Even experienced production teams can benefit from a fresh perspective. I can review your production workflows, crew structures, communication procedures, running orders, gallery operations and live production processes to identify opportunities for improvement.
The goal is always the same: smoother productions, stronger communication and greater confidence when the red light comes on.
