SCENE 01 / MULTI CAMERA SHOOTS
Multi-Camera Production Services
Professional multi-cam crews and equipment for live events, TV production, and complex shoots across Canada.
Multi-camera shoots employ two or more cameras simultaneously to capture scenes from multiple angles, maximizing coverage and preserving performance continuity. From live broadcasts at CBC's Toronto studios to major events at Vancouver's Rogers Arena, this approach is standard for interviews, live events, dialogue scenes, and any situation where repeated takes are impractical or impossible.
We provide multi-camera setups scaled to your production's requirements, coordinating matching camera bodies, lenses, and monitoring systems. Working with Canada's leading facilities including Pinewood Toronto Studios and Vancouver's Bridge Studios, our team ensures seamless technical integration between all cameras, giving your director and editor comprehensive coverage from every angle.

Multi-cam crews built from CBC, Radio-Canada, CTV, and Pixomondo Toronto Volume rosters
Here is how the work lines up. Canadian multi-camera production has been industrialised by the public and private broadcasters running aim-built studio plants for decades. CBC's Toronto Broadcasting Centre and Radio-Canada's Maison Radio-Canada in Montreal between them anchor a multi-cam talent pool that has shipped Murdoch Mysteries, Schitt's Creek, Kim's Convenience, Heartland, and the Just for Laughs / Festival du Rire Montreal galas; CTV and Global add the Toronto and Vancouver morning-show, talk-show, and game-show factories.
Live event coverage on the same crew base reaches TIFF galas at Roy Thomson Hall, Hot Docs galas, the Calgary Stampede, Carnaval de Québec, the Canadian Screen Awards, and the Juno Awards — multi-camera ops, EVS replay engineers, vision mixers (Grass Valley Karrera and Kayenne, Ross Carbonite, FOR-A HVS), and shading engineers are booked through the same IATSE-affiliated rosters that staff Saturday-night studio shows. Pixomondo Toronto's The Volume LED stage adds a different multi-cam discipline, with Sony Venice 2 cameras tracked through Mo-Sys StarTracker for Star Trek Discovery, Star Trek Strange New Worlds, and inbound virtual-production blocks.
Camera packages standardise on matched Sony Venice 2 and ARRI Alexa Mini LF heads for cinematic multi-cam dialogue and live story work, with RED V-Raptor 8K, Sony FX9, and Panasonic VariCam options layered in where the deliverable calls for it; Canon CJ12, Fujinon UA-series, and Angénieux EZ box lenses cover broadcast zoom needs.
ISED-licensed wireless coordination handles the RF camera links, comms, and IFB across crowded venues — Scotiabank Arena, Rogers Centre, Bell Centre Montreal, Rogers Arena Vancouver, Place Bell Laval, Avenir Centre Moncton — and our technical crews run redundant power, backup recording to ProRes 4444 and AVC-Intra, and live multi-bitrate streaming to YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, LinkedIn Live, and custom RTMP.
Setup blocks scale from 3-camera interview rigs (3-4 hours) through 5-7 camera corporate events to 12+ camera concert and award-show productions with a full rehearsal day on the books; IATSE 667 Quebec, 669 Camera BC, 411 Ontario, and the broadcaster-side ACTRA/IBEW agreements all sit cleanly inside our crew contracts.
FAQ
Technical Capabilities
How many cameras can you deploy for multi-cam productions?
We regularly deploy 3-12 camera setups and can scale beyond for major events. Standard configurations include 3-camera interview setups, 5-7 camera corporate events, and 8-12+ camera concert and live show productions.
Do you provide live switching or ISO recording?
We offer both. Live switching provides real-time edited output for streaming or IMAG. ISO recording captures each camera independently for post-production flexibility. Most productions use a combination of both approaches.
Can you integrate with existing venue systems?
Yes. Our technical teams are experienced in interfacing with venue audio systems, house lighting, existing video infrastructure, and broadcast facilities. We conduct technical surveys to plan integration requirements.
What's included in multi-cam production packages?
Packages typically include cameras, operators, vision mixer/director, technical manager, monitoring, comms, cabling, and recording/switching equipment. Audio, lighting, and streaming are available as additions based on venue requirements.
How much setup time is required for multi-cam productions?
Setup time varies by complexity: 3-4 cameras typically require 3-4 hours, 5-7 cameras need 4-6 hours, and 8+ camera setups may require a full day. We always include time for technical rehearsal before going live.
Can you provide live streaming alongside multi-cam recording?
Absolutely. We offer integrated streaming solutions to platforms including YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, LinkedIn, and custom RTMP destinations. Multi-bitrate encoding and CDN distribution available for large audiences.
