Roll To Record Invests in New Equipment to Provide Streamlined Technical Facilities for Small Scale Rigs

The switcher was first used on ‘The Resort’, a 6x60min series produced by Twofour and GroupM Entertainment for ITV2, following teenagers on their first foreign holiday away from their parents. The four-week shoot took place in Magaluf, Majorca.

Roll To Record provided all technical facilities, including the new switcher as part of its small-scale rig set-up, and technical staff that rotated over 22 hours on two shifts, providing unit management, engineering and sound support on site. Back-up support was also on hand back in the UK.

Mick Bass, Commercial Director, Roll To Record, said, “The new FOR-A switcher is a valuable addition to our inventory, enabling us to offer technical facilities for productions of any scale. It proved its worth on ‘The Resort’, where we needed transport and set-up to be as easy and quick as possible, without sacrificing functionality.”

Roll To Record previously worked with Twofour on the award-winning observational documentary ‘Educating Essex’ for Channel 4, and the recent Sky 1 HD programme ‘The Angel’.
