ABOUT
Our small but perfectly formed recording studio is the ideal space for recording training films, product reviews, interviews, social media content, virtual events and pieces to camera.
Photographers can also use the studio with our continuous lighting or bring their own flash heads.
Our green screen also allows you to shoot on virtual sets or replace the background during the post-production process.
If recording in a studio is a new experience for you we can hold your hand and explain everything clearly.
Book the space with just the fixed studio lighting for your own use or we can can provide a complete production service with crew. See here.
"It's the perfect place for us to record relaxed interviews and virtual events. The in-house team provide a super fast turnaround. Always very pleased"
