about me
Hi, I am Andy Staley. Having worked over the misty years in photography studios, printing, exhibition build, AV and corporate event production and management...well...I thought it was about time I set up on my own...

Live Communications
I love what I do.
I love creating and producing live events and working on design-led assignments. Some projects require creativity...sometimes I need to be more analytical...and then some work requires a bit of everything, and that is why I love what I do. I will always work intelligently, professionally and with integrity. I will tell you if I think your idea "isn't the best", but will also work with you to make it the best.
Originally from the hills of Northern England, I'm now an adopted 'southerner'. I have a love of sport, music and movies, and I am partial to the occassional session in the gym (and the occassional beer afterwards!). As a father to four great kids, and (always) trying to be a deserving husband to my wonderful wife, it's often a challenge getting the work-life balance just right. But now I've set up Live Communications, I'm spending some priceless quality time with my family, as well as working on some exciting, innovative projects at the same time!
Yes, I love what I do.
Portfolio
Here you will find a few examples of projects managed or carried out by Andy over the past few years working for various agencies. These give you an idea of the type of work we take pride in producing.

A selection of stuff, old and new. Take a look to see what we've been up to, what we like, and whats coming up...
Time Lapse of Exhibition Build
March, 2014
For this exhibition in Seoul, we filmed the build over four days from initial mark out through to show opening, using one fixed camera at a highpoint in the hall, and another one to capture footage of build on the show floor. The client was very pleased with the result, and used it in their marketing for other events!
Video Design and Mapping
October, 2012
Live Communications designed and produced this stunning video to be projected across three huge screens. Highly effective attention grabber! Comment from client: "AMAZING! Beautiful video Andy!!! We all just watched in in awe around the computer! Thank you, very much…"
Awards Dinner VT Sting...
April, 2011
A slightly older clip, but a great example of a dramatic opening VT for an awards dinner. I made sure this gave sponsors their air-time, was on-brand, and certainly grabs the audiences attention. The event was in the Guildhall, London...you should have been there...!!!
...and the winner is...!
April, 2011
For those of you who weren't there, this was the climax of the show, including the VT sting at the end. Very chaotic, as you will see, but presenter Mark Durden-Smith did a great job holding it all together. All in all, a great atmosphere, and a great event.
TGAIS 2015
December, 2015
The Global African Investment Summit 2015 was held in Central Hall, London, with Prime Ministers and Presidents from many African countries in attendance, as well as some very high-profile UK speakers. Live Comms managed all aspects of design, content and production, pre-event, on-site, and post-event video editing.
Audience Response projects
2013 - present
At various locations throughout UK and Europe, I supply interactive voting solutions working with Crystal Interactive. From keypad audience response, through to Ipad interaction and delegate support, recently I've been in Birmingham, Belgrade and Berlin!
Events near and far...
Autumn 2017
Live Communications are once again travelling throughout the UK, Europe and beyond. Recent event destinations include Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Tokyo, Madrid and Rwanda (pictured above for The Global African Investment Summit). This Autumn sees trips to Sweden and USA coming up.
Other stuff.
Summer 2017
This will be updated on a regular basis with what music I'm listening to, movies I'm watching or books I'm reading. Not necessarily what's just come out...more what inspires me, what I enjoy, and stuff I want to share that maybe doesn't get a lot of exposure. Time for a bit of EPIC Bruce Springsteen....
