Our Focus

We've custom built a studio for busy professionals so you can turn up, record broadcast quality content and walk out with your files, or leave us to quickly edit your footage into episodes and clips for social media.

The three principles of our studio are:

  1. Quality: we specifically designed our studio to lead the industry in NZ - that means multicam 4k resolution video and broadcast quality audio.
  2. Speed: our technology and systems have been extensively tested and iterated to create an incredibly efficient production pipeline, so you get high quality finished media FAST.
  3. Redundancy: we have backup systems for both recording and data archival so if single piece of equipment has an issue, that won't interrupt your record or endanger your data.
