The studio itself was a great space with a lot of natural light and options for different framing. Overall, each room was well kitted out with lots of additional stands, lights and reflectors available to use. The staff on location were incredibly helpful and welcoming.

There were some noise issues throughout the day however we mostly managed to work around the issues. While we were forewarned that the studio is not fully sound proofed, we weren't told about the band practise room close by. The staff were incredibly accommodating and tried their hardest to make things as quiet as possible but our mics did pick up quite a bit of noise still! While it was a bit annoying, the studio itself was still great - Just maybe a little more ideal for photography than video!
