Premier Technical Services Group Ltd (PTSG) has completed a project to assist Netflix with specialist access in the filming of a new drama. Locations were situated throughout the north, from Manchester to Liverpool in the north-west to Rotherham in South Yorkshire.
Liverpool Town Hall (pictured) is one of the locations for filming. Liverpool Town Hall is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. It is described in the list as “one of the finest surviving 18th-century town halls”. The town hall was built between 1749 and 1754. It was designed by John Wood the Elder replacing an earlier town hall nearby.
PTSG Building Access Specialists Ltd is a highly regarded specialist provider to the film and TV sector. Its operatives understand the importance of reliability, especially when it comes to live broadcast.
Standard platform cages can only rotate 45° in each direction, so PTSG has invested heavily in providing clients with manufacturer produced 360° camera cages. These cages assist each camera operator with the ability to gain the perfect shot without need to move the machine.
