Experienced vMix operators for live events, streams and corporate shows.
Willow Red Media supplies vMix operators to production companies, event agencies and in-house teams across the UK. Our lead operator has directed and operated live broadcasts at the Paris 2024 Olympics, the 2025 Ashes and on productions for Sky Sports, TNT Sports and the BBC. We're comfortable on your system or ours, and we're used to shows where there's no second take.

Your Kit or Ours?
Operate your system. We arrive, familiarise ourselves with your setup and run the show. Send us your input list and running order in advance and we’ll come prepared.
Supply our own. A fully specified vMix machine with capture, Stream Deck, monitoring and a tested streaming path. Useful when you need a known quantity or when there’s no machine on the job.
Why Book Us?
Broadcast experience. Our operators work on live television, where the schedule changes and the show goes out regardless. That calm carries into corporate work.
Prepared. We ask for the running order, input list and graphics before the day. Nobody wants to discover the lower-third font at 8am.
Reliable. We turn up early, we test everything, and if something breaks we've usually got a plan before anyone notices.
FAQs
Which version of vMix do you operate?
1
The current version, including 4K and Pro features. If your machine is on an older build, tell us in advance and we'll refresh ourselves on any differences.
Do you bring your own machine or use ours?
2
Either. If you have a vMix system, we'll operate it. If you don't, or you want a known quantity, we'll supply a fully specified machine at the with-kit rate.
How much notice do you need?
3
A week is comfortable. We can often do less, just message us and we'll tell you straight away whether we're free.
Can you cover multi-day shows?
4
Yes. Multi-day and overnight rates are quoted individually and agreed before the job.
Do you supply other crew as well?
5
Yes. We also supply camera operators, vision mixers and live broadcast directors. Tell us what the job needs and we'll put a crew together.
Do you cover London?
6
Yes. We're based in Watford, just outside the M25, and work across London and the UK regularly. Travel is charged in addition to the day rate.
