Steve Smith

I’m a BAFTA award winning television director who has helped create some of the UK’s most popular TV shows. I’m one of the most experienced multi-camera entertainment directors in the UK, bringing over 30 years of valuable production experience in which I’ve also produced and executive produced shows. I’m also an Environmental Production Consultant and I play a leading role on the board of Directors UK where I’m committed to promoting the work of all directors and passionate about helping train the next generation. I’m a highly skilled, single and multi-camera director specialising in comedy and entertainment programmes. I have considerable experience in helping create new shows, taking projects from the ideas stage through to pilot and onto successful, returning series. I specialise in directing large-scale multi-camera OB and studio based entertainment shows. I’ve also directed a wide range of programmes across a number of genres from factual, science and reality to game-shows and quizzes, both single and multi-camera. I’m particularly experienced at shooting live music - including performances from some of the biggest music stars in the world. AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL PRODUCTION CONSULTANT: I help make TV green, advising, guiding and encouraging sustainable activities in all aspects of programme-making. I can create an environmental management system for your company or production that will reduce your carbon footprint, saving money that can be spent on screen. I work closely with the BAFTA Albert Consortium as an albert ambassador, guiding productions through the albert+ environment management system that everyone working in the media is being encouraged to adopt.
