Breaking stories filmed, edited and delivered on the day
Our crews film in the field and in the studio, then cut broadcast-ready packages for television producers who need accurate footage fast and a calm team behind it.
A small Swansea team built for speed
reportsia was founded in 2012 and works from a compact studio on Wind Street Yard. We film, edit and deliver news for television broadcasters. Every commission is led by a producer, so the editorial thread never gets lost.

From first call to finished broadcast package
A news story moves quickly, so our process is short and clear. You tell us what is happening and when you need it, and a producer takes charge from that moment. Each step below has one owner and one thing you receive.
Brief and booking
You contact us with the story, the location, the deadline and the format your channel needs. A producer replies, confirms what can be covered and agrees who will be on the job and how files will reach you.
Crew dispatched
The camera operator and, where needed, a sound or lighting technician travel to the location with kit prepared for that kind of shoot. The producer stays reachable throughout in case the story shifts.
Filming and logging
Footage is shot with the edit in mind: wide establishing shots, close detail, cutaways and clean sound. Clips are logged as they come in so the editor can find what matters without scrubbing through everything.
Edit and review
The editor assembles the package to your running time, adds voice-over and graphics, and checks it against the facts supplied. The producer reviews it for accuracy and fairness before it leaves the building.
Delivery and handover
Files are sent in the format your broadcaster asks for, with a note of what is in them. We keep the project until you confirm you have what you need, and can supply extra cuts if the story develops.
Five services covering the path from event to broadcast
Each service can be booked alone or combined into one commission. A breaking story might need a crew, an edit and a live link; a feature might need only studio time. The list below shows what each one involves, so you can choose the parts you need.
Breaking News Filming
Rapid-response camera crews who reach a developing story and file broadcast-quality footage within hours.
Studio Interviews
Lit, sound-controlled studio sessions for guests, experts and presenters, recorded for television use.
News Package Editing
Editing of raw footage, voice-over and graphics into finished packages that fit broadcast running times.
Live Link-Ups
Portable live camera and transmission setups for reporters on location, with a producer on call.
Newsroom Workflow Support
Advice and training on shot logging, file handling and quick-turn production for in-house news teams.
If you are unsure what a story needs, describe it in the contact form and we will suggest a scope in writing before anything is agreed.
ServicesPractical strengths that keep a newsroom moving
Television producers work to hard deadlines and tight budgets. These are the habits that make our crews easy to work with when a story is moving and the schedule is not.
Quick response
A small crew means decisions are made in minutes, not meetings. We confirm what we can cover and send people out without layers of approval.
Accuracy first
Names, places and facts are checked against what you have supplied before a package is delivered, so your editor is not left chasing corrections.
One named producer
You deal with the same producer from booking to handover, which keeps instructions consistent and removes the need to repeat yourself.
Broadcast-ready files
We deliver in the formats and running times your channel specifies, with clean audio and clear labelling for your ingest team.
Fair treatment
Interviews and cutaways are handled even-handedly, with context kept intact, so packages stand up to editorial scrutiny.
Reachable throughout
A producer is on call while the crew is out, so changes to the story or the brief can be passed on straight away.
Scenes from filming, studio and edit
News video is made in several settings, from a pavement to a lit studio to an edit suite. The scenes below show the kit, the care and the steps behind each stage of a commission.
Handheld filming on location
Handheld work keeps the operator close to a moving story. Steady framing, usable cutaways and clean ambient sound are captured so the editor has real choice later.
Tripod set-up for a reporter piece
A tripod gives a stable frame for pieces to camera and live shots. We check framing, background and sound before the reporter starts speaking.
Studio interview lighting
Lighting and sound are set before the guest sits down, so the session runs without pauses. Soft key light and a quiet room give a clean recording.
Reviewing footage on the edit timeline
The editor works through logged clips, picks the strongest moments and builds the sequence to the agreed running time, keeping the story plain and the pacing steady.
Voice-over recording
Voice-over is recorded in a sound-controlled space, with the script checked against the facts. Clear delivery and consistent levels make the package easy to air.
Newsroom file handling
Shot logs, file names and folders follow a set pattern, so footage can be found in seconds. We share this method with in-house teams who want faster turnaround.
They turned up on time, filmed what we needed and sent a clean package well before our bulletin. The producer kept us informed the whole way, which made our evening much easier.
