The latest episode of the Directors UK podcast comes from our members’ masterclass with BAFTA-award winning multi-camera director Nikki Parsons. 

We take a deep dive into Nikki's work directing Strictly Come Dancing and the Eurovision Song Contest, exploring how the full process from rehearsals to live performances comes together.

Moderated by award-winning live entertainment and multi-camera director Tim van Someren, we also discuss how multi-camera directors manage creative leadership on set, collaborate with crew and talent, and work with new technology such as CuePilot to help them navigate complex live broadcasts.
