We finished filming on a series for and in the new studio with our very FIRST session there.

07/16/2023

Lots of progress today, plants from added, furniture assembled.

The last studio was built out for multiple 12-13 foot sets to be independent of each other. This was intentional so we could run multi-set live stream events. However, those are the projects we are going after (we can still accomplish this on location elsewhere) and our new space will be arranged where we can film multiple locations with more, or less, depth and almost complete 360 degrees for angles.

This all means more flexibility for subjects, extra options for establishing shots, face to face interview sets… we are very excited about the benefits of this new concept and the character this space is giving us.

07/15/2023

We chose our first studio because we didn’t have any money and it was affordable. The days and nights spent there will never be forgotten.

We chose our second studio because we knew the area of Cookeville we wanted to be in and our projects were demanding a lot more square footage. We accomplished some amazing goals that have propelled us further than we ever thought we’d go.

We chose this third studio because it reflects the desire we have for our future projects. It isn’t a reaction to need, but a response to a call. It has an old soul, requires us to compromise precision for artistry and it asks more of us as creatives.

We hope to take your photo here, film your video here, host your own photo sessions here, help you dream up new projects here… this new place challenges us to new levels and we expect a lot of it.

In the coming weeks, we look forward to showing you the new space and sharing the call it has on us as creatives and producers.

This was a long time coming for us - but we built out the broadcast rig to be completely contained in one case to make it easier to do location work. Also, it can all power from a v-lock battery now!
