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.

Each unit is capable of firing two cameras; two external motion controllers; 240v grow lighting (with day automated day length); environmental monitoring of temperature and humidity; external KP1 mains relays and 4 internal relays.

Full remote access over ethernet / internet is provided for monitoring and changing the timelapse settings live and a playback tab shows the timelapse frame by frame as it is shot for an immediate playback of the shot to the latest frame.

Currently only 4 units exist and they are running long term timelapses for two major BBC natural history landmark series.
