AGITO’s camera-wielding credentials are well-known in live entertainment, sport, natural history, features, dramas and even immersive content.

Shooting a music video is a sprint, not a marathon – especially when budgets are tight, and time is the most valuable resource on set.

Coachella is a like cultural weather report – a moment where trends surface, styles collide and the pomp of it all often speaks as loudly as the sound.

For all the evolution of football itself – VAR overturning last minute injustices, data analytics dictating tactics, augmented reality dressing up half-time analysis – one thing has remained surprisingly unchanged: the way the game is filmed.   For decades, the broadcast formula has been practically untouchable.

After all, in immersive, viewers control their perspective, and adding movement could […]

Live event production used to be simple. Point the camera, capture the action and broadcast the result. Job done.

These techniques don’t just make things look good – they evoke emotion, reveal story details and […]

Iconic films like Rocky and The Shining made […]
