How I work
Format design, audience research, content planning and a specific visual system for each event.
Graphics systems, API integrations, control workflows and prototypes designed for the operators who use them during a live production.
Executive production informed by direct operating experience. I can lead the team, call the show, troubleshoot the signal path or operate a position when required.
Tim’s attention to detail and passion for the esport made him stand out. His technical and design skills and willingness to get hands-on earned the respect of his peers and made him a genuinely collaborative and trusted teammate.
Timothy Roots / usually “roots”
I’m an Australian producer and creative content lead focused on complex live events, leading editorial direction and designing technical solutions for delivery.
I developed experience across esports observing, graphics and replay operation, directing, engineering, programming and asset production. That range helps me lead teams while understanding operational requirements.
I am available for freelance roles in broadcast development, operations, and project management.
In the last 3 months, I built and managed stage, lighting, and broadcast equipment integration during the Esports World Cup in Paris, France. I have also designed, built and deployed a CG broadcast system that integrates with the Rainbow 6: Siege API for REKT Studios in partnership with Ubisoft, in Melbourne. I love projects that require a new technical or creative solution.
Sports, competition and maybe too much Path of Exile.
Have a complex live production problem?
