About showripel

We document the timing behind great entertainment television.

showripel began as a set of internal notes for a UK studio floor crew and grew into a full production guide. Today it helps camera, lighting and audio teams speak the same language of cues, beats and handoffs.

What guides our work

Three principles shape every module, checklist and cue sheet template in the showripel guide.

Timing first

Every technique we document is measured against the beat of the cue sheet, not guesswork.

Broadcast tested

Every method in the guide has been proven on live entertainment sets, not written in theory.

Built for teams

Camera, lighting and audio departments work from the same reference so nothing gets out of sync.
