Our integrated production model
Equipment, crew and studios together — on demand
StartWell's media production services superpower your communications, marketing and sales efforts — combining creative strategy with purpose-built corporate event and studio environments at a single location in downtown Toronto.
With event venues and film studios under a single roof, each wired for live broadcast and recording, you can now create content when presenting, entertaining or simply having conversations.
Studios At StartWell
We have 4 purpose-built studio sets for multi-camera video podcasts
We've brought the Hollywood studio model to corporate content: with always-on sets that are optimized for instant productions.
We have multiple sets available for video shoots in our studios, so you can capture variety on camera. This makes studio time highly efficient: come in and capture multiple different types of talking head and conversational videos.
Because our sets don't require setup and tear-down, you can count on videos shot in specific sets to always look the same, even if they are shot on different days.
Our goal is to make creating content easy - simply show up and talk on camera: our team handles everything else (from planning/pre-production, to production and even editing/post-production!)
Set Option: Sofas
A comfortable set featuring natural daylight at the far end of the set, diffused to not affect studio lighting. Two grey couches face each other for 2 people or up to 4 people to face each other. Typically shot with 5 camera angles.
Set Option: Armchairs (+ Loveseat?)
A brick and black wall corner with freestanding black minimal bookshelves and warm practical lighting - the shelves are perfect to accessorize with branding elements to create simple customization. The set can include two armchairs with an optional loveset - all matching with a boho-chic look (further complimented with light colored curtains to optionally cover the brick and black walls behind shelving.). Typically filmed with three camera angles.
Set Option: Direct to Camera
Black curtains cover two sidewalls and can open at the back to reveal a brick wall. Optionally use solid color backgrounds for tight shoots (i.e. shoulders and head: white or black or brick background available.) Typically shot with a single camera angle.
Set Option: Roundtable
Ideal for video podcasts, this matte-black studio set features a round walnut table and seating for up to 5 guests at the same table. With up to 8 camera angles, you get coverage of the full table and each guests.
