live production
Real-time broadcast event
Live production is the creation of content—typically video, audio, or theatrical—in real time rather than through editing or post-production.
A news broadcast, concert stream, or stage play involves live production: cameras switch, audio mixes, and graphics appear as the event unfolds.
The live production of the awards show required twelve camera operators.
The term emphasizes the technical coordination happening simultaneously with performance, distinguishing it from recorded or pre-produced work.
