The slate.

We are a new studio, so this page shows two honest things: what we are developing right now, and the equipment we own that goes out on every job.

In the pipeline

What we are making.

Two projects of our own in development, and open capacity for commissioned work. No borrowed portfolio, no other studio’s reel.

The kit

What we own.

Every line here is our equipment, in our building. Nothing is a rental partner or a “we can arrange it”.

KIT 01

Camera

Cinema bodies with matched prime and zoom glass, matte box and filtration, follow focus, wireless video and monitoring. Bodies are matched so multi-camera days cut together without a fight in the grade.

KIT 02

Lighting

LED panels, tubes and fresnels with full colour control, HMI for punching daylight through windows, and the grip modifiers that actually shape a frame rather than just brightening it.

KIT 03

Grip & Movement

Track and dolly, sliders, jib and stabilised heads, plus the stands, clamps and rigging a real unit needs. Movement gets designed into the shot list instead of improvised because the gear did not arrive.

KIT 04

Aerial

Our own drone unit with trained pilots and a standing permissions workflow. Aerials appear as a line on the shooting schedule, not as a separate vendor with a separate calendar and a separate invoice.

KIT 05

Sound

Location recording with boom and wireless packages, and a treated room back at the studio for design, ADR and mix. Audio gets captured properly on the floor rather than rescued afterwards.

KIT 06

Post

Edit bays, a calibrated colour grading suite and finishing workstations, all in the same building as the shoot. Your footage never leaves the studio, so it never sits in a queue behind somebody else’s project.

KIT 07

Mobile Production Unit

A purpose-built production van that carries the kit and a working DIT and edit bay to any location in the country. Footage is offloaded, backed up and colour-checked on the day, on calibrated monitors, while the set is still standing and a problem is still cheap to fix.

Inside the van

The mobile unit.

A studio that drives to you — on-location post, calibrated monitoring and secure storage in one vehicle.

Why it matters

Owned kit means fewer people take a cut.

Rental houses charge a markup, book out on the days everyone wants, and add a pickup and a return day to every schedule. When the gear is ours, a shoot day is a shoot day and a reshoot is a phone call.
