Last week we had the pleasure of making a Sci Fi Film, using the new Sony Burano camera, Verona CLED Wall, and the Virtual Production toolkit we have over at Broadley Studios. Click this link to read more:

‘HESTIA’ is a short Sci-Fi film directed by Kieran Lowley and Isobel Drane. Produced by Red Robin Films in collaboration with Sony Europe and Shahidul Khan, the film’s visual effects and additional photography were masterfully handled by the Broadley Studios team. Hestia tells the emotional story of Julia Pike (portrayed by Amber Doig-Thorne), an astronaut on a mission to Mars whose journey takes a tragic turn when an asteroid strikes her ship, sending it spiralling into deep space. As her life support systems fail and Mars drifts out of sight, Julia makes the heart-breaking decision to call her daughter for a final farewell. Hestia is a poignant narrative of a mother’s last goodbye to her child.

Sustainable Filmmaking: How Broadley Studios is Going Green

In today's world, sustainability is more than just a buzzword - it's a necessity.

As awareness of environmental issues grows, industries across the board are making concerted efforts to reduce their ecological footprint, and the film industry is no exception with sustainable filmmaking initiatives.

At Broadley Studios, we are committed to leading the charge towards greener, more eco-friendly production practices. Let’s dive into our sustainability initiatives and explore the benefits of these practices for our clients and the environment.
Our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) drives us to adopt better practices that benefit both people and the planet. Here are some of the specific green initiatives and sustainable filmmaking practices we’ve implemented:

1. Energy-Efficient Lighting and Equipment: This year, we achieved our goal of switching all our lighting to energy-efficient LEDs. This transition not only reduces our energy consumption but also lowers our carbon footprint, contributing to a more sustainable production environment.
2. Waste Reduction Programs: We’ve introduced comprehensive waste management practices, including rec*cling and composting programs. Our sets are designed with reusable materials, and we encourage the use of digital scripts and schedules to cut down on paper usage.
3. Sustainable Transportation Options: To reduce emissions, we offer incentives for carpooling and using public transportation. Additionally, we have invested in electric vehicles for our transportation needs.
4. Eco-Friendly Office Practices: Our office practices include using energy-efficient appliances, reducing water usage, and ensuring that all our office supplies are eco-friendly. We also use eco-printers and reduce single-use plastic within our building.
5. Green Energy: We are in the process of sourcing green energy for our studio. This initiative helps us further reduce our reliance on non-renewable energy sources and move towards a more sustainable future.

Richard here…

Brilliant to read in the Matt Stone & Trey Parker securing funding for their Deep Voodoo company. They developed the AI software used to create series ‘Sassy Justice’ starring the show used deepfake technology to parody Donald Trump among others.

Back in 2020 Matt & Trey approached to film at Broadley, we built a bespoke studio for the show & for 9 brilliant months Peter shot with us.

We’ve been shooting green screen for years at the studios, but it was this project that really sparked my interest in Virtual Production and the magic we can achieve.

We finally managed to get together in September (post pandemic..) as you can see in the pic… I can’t wait for what’s next.. what can top South Park!?

Signing off for some festive, family R&R now.. have a beautiful time of it out there.

“We are colourful inside and out” sang Sam Ryder for Bedtime Story in a pre-record, shot in our spacious Studio 1 back in November..

We couldn’t agree more with the creators of True Colours, the book, written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly and illustrated by Sarah Walsh, which is based on the hit 1986 song by Cyndi Lauder.

was our triumphant 🇬🇧 runner up for and did us all so proud.

We used 2 of our Sony FX9’s to capture Sam with a playful virtual TV production for some visually wholesome story telling.

Happy Holidays to one and all, love is love.

Peace & ❤️ team Broadley.

“We are colourful inside and out” sang Sam Ryder for an appearance on Bedtime Story. Sam was runner up in this years Eurovision Song Contest and believe us is a deserving guy.

We captured Sam singing live into 2 of our Sony FX9’s, against green screen in spacious Studio 1.

We couldn’t agree more with Sam & creators of True Colours, the book, written by Billy Strindberg and Tom Kelly, illustrated by Sarah Walsh.

Happy Holidays, peace & 💕 team Broadley.

It’s end of year & time to indulge in a little reminiscing.. what a year for our studios.. so many brilliant clients and filmed moments.. more on that coming soon…. Keep your 👀 peeled… .

Back in June, we delivered an live stream for & . The collaboration was promoting Prime Day.

Live streaming at broadcast quality direct into the Insta channel can be notoriously sticky, we’ve succeeded over on and Reels previously, so we knew all the solutions to access to the feed, shoot live at portrait at 9:16 ratio using 4 Sony FX9s with audio mixed on our Yamaha TFI Digital Sound Console as the show took off with viewers.

Hague L-plates let you do the vertical camera mount. Using these does require a different approach on the studio set design to accommodate the change, we drilled a lot of details. The polished content live streamed captured the audience-and made for a connected presenter, co-hosts and brand direct to consumer connection.
