the studio floor
a creative space perfectly suited to tabletop and specialist shoots where sync isn’t the priority
It has been designed by crew, for crew: Robert took his background of theatre and event lighting and applied it to details of the new studio.
The main studio measures 10m x 19m x 8m. It’s a flexible space with white walls covered in black woollen serge drapes on tab tracks.
The studio floor can be used as one large open space, or partitioned off into three light-proof areas for separate stages. The drapes have the added benefit of deadening the sound when sound is required, but the space is not sound proofed.
Studio essentials such as stands, frames and bounce are all easily accessible from wall-storage, and upstairs there is further storage available.
welcome to the green room
relax, plan & video calls in a quiet area above the studio under natural light
Above the studio floor is a mezzanine for the quiet times away from the filming. A large open-plan area measuring 10m square with desks, sofas and natural light: this area is a multi-functional space for office work, dining, or extra filming space as required.
Client facilities include a 27″ iMac, desk space, printer, 1Gbps internet (wifi & Cat6) and a fridge with refreshments. Power sockets are equipped with USB A and C charging supporting for charging MacBooks, phone and tablets.
the kitchen
kettle, toaster, coffee machine, microwave are available in a galley-style kitchen
the client kitchen occupies a corner of the studio floor and is available for clients and crew to use throughout the shoot. Tea, coffee and refreshments including snacks are included.
The kitchen power sockets include USB charging outlets for any quick top-ups needed during the day.
studio equipment
Kit available includes; Sony F55, Jib, Dragonframe Motion Control, Motion Control gantry for macro live action and time lapse moves.
Plus access to Robert’s personal filming package including; Mamiya Primes Kit, Mamiya Macro kit, Nikon Primes and macro kit. 1.2m Slider and wireless monitoring (5″, 7″, 13″ and 21″).
