    Bespoke studios

    Some shows need a set designed from scratch. These were custom builds for specific productions, filmed in our larger studios under the same roof as the vodcast studio. Bespoke sets are separate projects with their own design, build and studio time, so they're quoted separately from a vodcast studio booking.

    1. Before

      We talk through your format, number of people on camera, and the look and props you want, then prep the set and lighting ahead of your call time.

      Our audio and video technicians handle setup and checks, then run the session while you record, and a line cut of the episode is included.

    3. After

      We'll hand off your files once they're ready, or our post team can take it from there with editing, graphics and distribution.

    Questions

    How many people can be on camera?

    Up to four people can be on camera at once.

    Can we bring our own props or branding?

    Since the studio already has interchangeable furniture options, we don't allow large furniture pieces, but we encourage you to bring any branding you have, like notecards and mic flags. If you don't have branded pieces yet, we can help source them for you, provided there's enough time before your session date.

    Do we need to bring our own crew?

    No, dedicated audio and video technicians run every session. You're welcome to bring your own producer or team as well, and the isolated producer booth gives them a place to work.

    Can you build a custom set like your bespoke studios?

    Yes, as a separate project. Bespoke sets are designed and built in our larger studios and quoted on their own, so they aren't part of a standard vodcast studio booking. Reach out and we'll scope it with you.

    Can guests join remotely?

    Yes, guests can join over Zoom or Riverside.fm for an additional fee.

    What files do we get?

    We'll hand off your files once they're ready. Every session includes:

    • Individual mono microphone stems
    • A stereo mixdown as WAV and MP3 files
    • Mastered audio
    • A 4K line cut of the episode

    4K transcodes of each camera angle are available as an add-on.

    What are your hours and minimums?

    Business-day shoots run between 9am and 6pm with a 2-hour minimum. Evening and weekend shoots have a 4-hour minimum and depend on availability.
