The list
Somebody who books the room and somebody who works in it want completely different mail from a studio. Tell us which you are and we will only send the half that is any use to you.
Equipment
All of it is included in the room — there is no kit list to price up and nothing to hire in. It is set up and tested before your call time, so the hour you booked is an hour you shoot.
400Ws studio flash with a modelling lamp, so the look is set before anyone is on set. Two heads: key and fill.
Flash and continuous in one head — stills and video off a single lighting plot.
Bi-colour continuous light. Warm through to daylight without gelling, so it matches whatever the room is already doing.
The small light for the shot inside the shot — a face in a car, a phone screen, the underside of a product.
Constant light for interviews and talking heads. What you see on the monitor is what records.
The big soft source. Round catchlights, forgiving falloff, our default for faces.
The everyday box. Soft enough for skin, controlled enough to keep the light off the background.
Long and narrow. Edge light down a body, or the clean vertical highlight that makes glass and bottles read.
Arms and grip heads to put a light exactly where the shot needs it, including directly over the top of the set.
Green for keying, grey for portraits, black for anything that has to disappear.
Every head re-powered from the camera. Adjustments stop costing you takes.
The same control from a Nikon body.
The same control from a Canon body.
Keeps monitors, mics and phones alive through a long day.
The spare. Nobody stops the shoot to go hunting for a socket.
USB condenser with its own interface — voiceover, podcast and scratch audio without a separate desk.
Two clip-on transmitters. Clean dialogue from anyone on camera, with no cable running to the subject.
Projection for pitch days, and for throwing pattern or brand artwork straight onto a set.
Full-frame mirrorless. Quiet, quick to focus, and the body we reach for on video.
The workhorse zoom. Wide enough for the set, long enough for a portrait, fast throughout.
30MP full frame. The main body — files that hold up cropped, retouched and printed.
The honest fifty. Natural perspective, and it opens up when the room goes dim.
True 1:1 macro. Stitching, texture and the detail shots that sell a product page.
Room to get far enough back for a full-length frame, and still put a light behind the subject.
A corner with no seam. Where the floor meets the wall there is no line to retouch out afterwards.
Somewhere for talent to change that is not the bathroom. Mirror, rail and a door that shuts.
Creases show up on camera long before anyone notices them in the room.

Tell us what the shot needs and we will say straight away whether we can get it — rather than find out on the day.
