The Nobel Prize ceremony: broadcasting challenges
The Nobel Prize ceremony is a globally known event that honors individuals and organizations for their contributions to physics, chemistry, literature, peace, and various other fields. The 2023 ceremony was brought to audiences across the world with the help of Cuez. We interviewed Pierre Bredstenslien, a freelance floor manager, who helped bring the ceremony’s broadcast to life.
Organizing such a technically advanced broadcast is a big challenge. Months of meticulous planning and coordination, constant revisions of the script and the rundown. And a considerable amount of manual tasks, of course. Prior to adopting Cuez, the team used to manage their production across numerous different platforms that did not coordinate with each other, slowing down the process and making it more tedious for everyone.
"All of the different departments were working on different platforms, trying to spread the information across all of them. We wanted all departments to be able to work in the same document or program, so we could monitor changes and the development of the production of the show in one place.”

— “It made the work more efficient since all the different departments and colleagues were able to see the information on one platform,” says Pierre.
This unified approach contributed to a faster and more error-free production process. That is essential for such significant productions as the Nobel Prize ceremony.
Cuez not only helped make the production more efficient but also reduced the human-made errors during the preparation stage and during the broadcast itself.
— “All the departments could see changes to the script, cameras, lights, and so on in real time. This also made the process faster and safer. Not as many mistakes were made because we all have the correct information at the right time,“ Pierre explained.
New era of live broadcasts
Thanks to the intuitive design and adaptability, all team members stayed well-informed throughout the entire process, reducing the likelihood of errors, since all the information stayed in a unified workspace with real-time updates.
Cuez continues to prove itself as a valuable asset in the realm of live show production, fostering collaboration, efficiency, and accuracy across diverse teams and departments.
