Base Studios, Manchester

A first of its kind for creatives, brands and production teams, Base Studios is an innovative film & photography space for hire - designed and purpose-built to cater for freelance creatives to sizeable production crews.

Our Studio was crafted after years of struggling to find the perfect space and in particular a kitchen space for commercial productions.

Crafted to be the perfect hub for creating any food, lifestyle and sports content, our space boasts a fully working prep kitchen, customisable set kitchen, 32 Amp phase power, extensive kitchen props, Colorama backgrounds and vinyl background and flooring as well as ample production kits such as C Stands and Aputure lighting.

Without the budget for a full set build, most studios look the same. We decided to change the game by offering unique sets and a space that has been designed and built in a way that gives you creative control. Our set kitchen boasts interchangeable cupboards and worktops and we also offer moveable feature walls, so that you can spend less time (and money) on building and more time on sustainable shooting. Our set kitchen has two door fronts available and four worktops meaning that you can choose a style to suit your aesthetic. We do offer further choices of custom kitchen doors and worktop styles for an additional fee.

We know shoots can get complicated, so if you need any help we can source anything that you may need. From set builders to stylists as well as kit hire and additional crew - you name it, we’re pretty sure we can get it! Just give us a shout and we’d be more than happy to help.
