TallNuff Tech Ltd — United Kingdom
Working technical management for theatre, live events and broadcast.
The independent technical practice of a working technical manager and technician. We plan and deliver technical systems, run crew on real productions, and build the software we needed on site.

Who’s behind TallNuff
Run by a working technical manager and technician
TallNuff Tech is run by Lewis Jones, a working technical manager and technician in theatre, live events and broadcast.
The combination is the point. The same person who plans a technical department and runs the crew also writes the software, so the tools are shaped by what actually happens on site: passcoded workspaces, machines that stop answering, networks that drop, and a show that has to keep going regardless.
What we do
Technical delivery, from the plan to the show call
Technical management
Planning, coordination and delivery of technical systems and crew for live productions. The kit list, the schedule and the decisions that have to be right before anyone gets to site.
Hands-on technical delivery
Sound, video, broadcast, networking and show control. We manage technical delivery and are still comfortable at the rack, behind the console, or tracing a fault at show call.
Technical direction
Designing and coordinating practical technical systems from pre-production through to show day. Redundancy where it earns its place, and a way of working when a machine dies mid-performance.
Production technology
Practical workflows and tools that make a complex production easier to manage and operate. Built when a show exposes a problem worth solving, used on the next one, and only then worth selling to anybody else.
The work behind the software
Software from the show floor
Nothing here started as a product idea. It started as a job where something was missing, and the fix was worth keeping. That is the whole route from a production to an application, and it is why the tools assume real conditions rather than ideal ones.
ButtonHub is the clearest example. A show needed the sound booth, the commentary position and a runner on the floor each able to fire the handful of things they were responsible for, from their own phones, without ever being handed Companion or QLab. Because a laptop dying mid-performance is not hypothetical, it runs a main and a backup machine that watch each other, and handing the show between them is a person’s decision rather than an automatic guess.
A failure here is not a bad user experience. It is a mistake in front of an audience, and that is the standard everything gets held to.

ButtonHub
A phone-friendly remote for Bitfocus Companion and QLab. Sound, comms and a runner on the floor each get the handful of controls they need on their own phone, and nothing else.
