newflare covers the practical stages of television news: shooting in the field, editing for the bulletin, covering large public events, reviewing how stories travel through a newsroom and training the people who shoot them. Each service can be booked alone or combined for a single project.
Field shooting and fast edits of developing stories, delivered ready for broadcast.
We review how stories move from pitch to air and suggest practical changes to save time.
Short practical sessions for reporters and camera crews on shooting fast-moving events.
Quick turnaround editing, captioning and graphics for daily news bulletins.
Multi-camera coverage of concerts, festivals and public events for news segments.
Tell us the story type, the bulletin it feeds and your delivery format when you get in touch, and we will confirm the scope in writing before any work begins.
ServicesMost of our work is time-sensitive, so the process stays short and clear. We agree what is needed, put a crew or editor on it, check the result against your house standards and hand it over in the format your gallery uses. Nothing is left to guesswork.
You send us the story, the bulletin slot, the length you need and any house style notes. We ask the questions that matter, such as access, locations and graphics, and confirm what we will deliver and what is outside the job.
We choose the camera operator or editor best suited to the subject, prepare the kit and agree how we stay in contact during the shoot. For live events we also plan camera positions and cable or wireless routes in advance.
The crew gathers footage with the cut in mind, or the editor works from your rushes against the agreed running order. We flag problems early, such as poor audio or missing shots, so you can decide before the deadline tightens.
We take your notes, trim to length, add captions and graphics where requested and check audio levels and formats. Changes are made quickly and tracked so that the final version matches what you approved.
We deliver the files by the route your newsroom uses and confirm receipt. An invoice follows the written confirmation and is paid by bank transfer, as set out on our prices page.
A news package that arrives late is of little use, and one that arrives wrong can do real harm. We work on the basis that both matter, which is why our crews shoot with the edit already in mind and our editors check facts, names and captions against your notes before anything leaves the building.
Based in Chichester, we travel to stories across the south of England and, by arrangement, further afield. Because the team is small, the person you speak to when you book is usually the person who works on your job, so there is no relay of messages between departments.
Our founder-led production group has been working in television news production for over a decade, and the company itself began in 2014. That history shows in small habits: labelling rushes clearly, keeping clean audio as a separate track, and always shooting cutaways that an editor will thank us for later.
We also spend time inside newsrooms. Reviewing how a story moves from pitch to transmission often reveals simple delays, such as unclear sign-off or files stored in three places, that cost more minutes than any edit. Fixing those is quieter work, but it is often where the biggest savings are found.
Training completes the picture. When reporters and crews understand how to frame, hold and record a fast-moving scene, the material reaching the edit suite is stronger and the whole bulletin benefits from it.
Some newsrooms need a crew on the ground, others already have footage and need it cut quickly. This guide sets out how the two routes differ so you can decide which suits the story in front of you.
Many jobs use both: we shoot, then edit the same material. Tell us where your deadline is tightest and we will suggest the simplest route.
These are the questions editors and producers ask us most often before a first job. If yours is not covered here, the contact page is the quickest way to reach us.
We work for television news editors, producers and broadcasters across the UK. Some clients commission a single package, others use us regularly for editing, event coverage or training. We agree the scope and format with each client before work begins, so the output fits their own gallery and bulletin requirements.
Send an enquiry through the contact page describing the story, the deadline and the format you need. We reply with questions if anything is unclear, then send a written quotation or confirmation. Once you approve it, we schedule the crew or editor and begin the work.
Yes. We are based in Chichester and regularly work across the south of England. For stories further away we discuss travel arrangements and the associated cost with you first, so that nothing is a surprise when the quotation arrives.
Yes, provided we have it. Send us your captioning rules, graphics templates, loudness targets and delivery specifications, and our editors will work to them. If something is missing, we ask rather than assume, because small differences in style can slow transmission.
We deliver in the broadcast formats your newsroom specifies, and agree the file type, frame rate and delivery route when scoping the job. If you are unsure which specification applies, send us a sample of a recent bulletin file and we will match it.
After your enquiry we send a written quotation or confirmation. Once the work is complete we issue an invoice, which is paid by bank transfer. Nothing is paid through this website. Cancellations and refunds follow our payment and refund policy, which you can read before agreeing.
We run short practical sessions on shooting fast-moving events, covering handheld and shoulder-mounted technique, framing, audio and getting usable cutaways. Sessions are shaped around your team and the kind of stories you cover, so we ask about kit and experience beforehand.
Yes. Our workflow consultant looks at how stories move from pitch to air, speaks with the people involved and proposes practical changes, such as clearer sign-off or simpler file handling. You receive the findings in writing, with suggestions you can adopt at your own pace.
