Child Genius / Wall to Wall for Channel 4

The Story

Director: Toby Baker. Production: Jess Hynes

Recorded in the iconic Royal Institution in central London, this shoot involved up to 10 cameras, various graphics feeds and a large comms rig. With a huge gallery space housed in a library downstairs, the extensive cable rig was installed to the main lecture theatre. In addition to shooting 3 series with the children, 3 Christmas Specials were also recorded pitching celebrities against the kids.

With the series usually split across 3 blocks, the rig was installed each time - and it’s always easier to go back to a job and venue the crew know well.
