Swangate Studios

Content production for live events

Content for live events, made by people who have run the show.

Swangate Studios produces keynotes, show content and interactive experiences for film and TV, motorsport, government, tech and brand. Everything is made for the screens it will play on and the people who'll run it. We build AI into how we work so more of the time goes on the creative.

Selected work

Most of our work comes through production agencies. We credit them alongside the client.

02 / How we work

Desk to screen

One look followed all the way through: the walk-in for First Light, a self-initiated launch show for Fieldfare, an invented aircraft maker.

01 · The desk

Built here

Storyboards, After Effects, Premiere, PowerPoint and Keynote. Every frame is made at the size of the screen it's going to.

02 · The spec

Made to fit

Before anything renders we know every surface, how it maps to the server and what codec it plays. A main wall, two IMAG screens, a header and a riser can all come off one 4K output if the map is built right.

03 · The control room

Run live

We stay through rehearsals, change things on the fly and run the content from the desk until the last cue.

04 · The screen

On the night

Then it plays out to a full room. That's the bit we were thinking about on day one.

03 / Studio

Who we are

Swangate Studios is led by Ben Ralph, a creative producer with 15 years in live events. Ben started out as a technician, running sound, video and graphics on shows, and worked his way up to producing them. So from the first planning call he's thinking about the end screen and how the show will run on the night, and that stays in view right through to delivery. He can run the client call, manage the team and talk to the crew in their own language. He also founded Pageantry, an event simulation tool first used to plan the Platinum Jubilee Pageant.

We bring in editors, animators and designers to suit each job, and work for agencies and directly with brands. Agencies we work with include:
