Need experienced crew for a live broadcast, live stream or event? Funny Hands Media can provide trusted television and event professionals for productions of all sizes.
Whether you need a single freelancer, a small team or a complete production crew, Funny Hands Media can provide experienced professionals for live broadcasts, live streams, sports presentation, corporate events and television productions.
For more than twenty-five years, we have been working in live television. During that time, we have built strong relationships with experienced and trusted crew members across a wide range of production disciplines.
Unlike many crewing agencies, we don’t simply search a database and send you a list of names. We provide crew that we know, trust and have often worked alongside ourselves.
Our reputation depends on the quality of the people we provide, which is why we’re selective about who represents Funny Hands Media on site.
CREW YOU CAN TRUST
One of the biggest challenges in television production is finding the right person for the role.
Not all camera operators, directors or production staff have the same experience, specialisms or skill sets.
Because our background is in live television production, we understand the difference.
The right person for a live studio show may not be the right person for a single-camera shoot. A sports presentation event may require a different skill set from a corporate town hall or live stream.
A camera operator is not just a camera operator. Different productions require different skills, experience and personalities. A pedestal camera operator, handheld camera operator, jib operator, Steadicam operator and single-camera operator all bring different strengths to a production. Our understanding of live television allows us to match the right person to the right production.
We take the time to understand your production and recommend crew accordingly.
COMPLETE CREWS OR INDIVIDUAL FREELANCERS
Some clients need a single crew member.
Others require an entire production team.
We can provide both.
Whether you’re looking for an individual freelancer or a complete crew that already knows how to work together, we can help.
Many of our crew have worked together repeatedly across a variety of productions, helping projects run smoothly from day one.
THE FUNNY HANDS DIFFERENCE
When you book crew through Funny Hands Media, you’re not simply booking individuals.
You’re gaining the support of an experienced production company that understands live television.
Many clients come to Funny Hands because they don’t want the risk of sourcing unknown freelancers individually.
When we recommend crew, we’re recommending people we know, trust and have often worked alongside ourselves. We understand their strengths, experience and suitability for different types of productions.
That means our clients can focus on delivering their production rather than worrying about crewing.
If illness, travel disruption or unforeseen circumstances affect a booking, we can often provide an equally experienced replacement, helping to protect your production and minimise disruption.
Our clients don’t need to spend time sourcing multiple freelancers, setting up individual suppliers, raising separate purchase orders or processing multiple invoices.
One phone call.
One supplier.
One purchase order.
One invoice.
We take care of the rest.
For many clients, that peace of mind is just as valuable as the crew themselves. They know that if circumstances change, Funny Hands Media has the experience, relationships and resources to keep their production moving.

WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE FUNNY HANDS
Clients don’t come to Funny Hands because they want a particular freelancer.
They come to us because they need the right person for the job.
Our role is to understand the production, identify the skills required and recommend the most suitable crew member for that specific project.
This approach gives our clients flexibility and reassurance. If circumstances change, we have the knowledge and relationships to provide suitable alternatives without compromising quality.
It’s one of the reasons clients continue to trust Funny Hands Media to support their productions year after year.
