Is the blackout studio soundproofed?
Soundproofing is particularly crucial for shoots requiring dialogue and high-quality sound design in order to ensure that your final product is as polished as possible.
All stages have been thoughtfully designed with acoustic performance of highest priority. Acoustically they exhibit a flat response with no discernable reverberation and minimal sound ingress or egress.
Whether you’re filming an interview, a music video, or a commercial, you should not be unduly disturbed by extraneous noise.
Can vehicles access the studio for loading and unloading?
Yes. We have free parking to accommodate 4 cars immediately outside the studio entrance. This allows convenient ground floor load-in via roller-shutter door if needed – particularly welcome for those large or heavy loads.
For larger-scale productions, articulated truck access is possible – though less congested out of hours period (early morning/late evening) are always encouraged to ease access.
