Avid readers will know that here at Camberwell Studios we are very fond of our fish, and animals in general, which is why we have been very lucky over the past few weeks to be in-undated with critters of all shapes and sizes. Thankfully though they didn't all come at once as the cat that starred in a Studio 2 shoot had a beady eye on our goldfishes, had the dog, from a Studio 1 shoot, been in we could have had a crazy sort of food chain and eco-system right here in these very green walls!
We move onto some other interesting stories from the Camberwell Ark.. I mean studios... From animals to animal behaviour. Our recent band shoot encompassed an Elvis mirror, some swordplay, citrus fruit and flowers being burnt to a crisp. No, I wasn't taking acid with the band and their roadies, it was a series of objects deemed cool and retro enough to be burnt, live in Studio 1.
I'm glad the lads in the band were clean living as it means they can concentrate on normal life, working hard, practicing and gigging which, in this ever purse-tightening industry, is what you need to do to survive.
This leads me on to my next mention. We have identified around 100 members for the Indie Membership scheme and have been adding members as and when they pop up. Please see below for info.
Camberwell
Studios are proud to present the 'Indie Membership Scheme'!
‘Young?
Creative? On a very tight budget?’
If this is you then please read on.....
Camberwell
Studios have worked with many young creative’s living in south
London (and working in Shoreditch!) that have many smaller personal
projects on the go, but maybe don’t have the budget for a full
professional set-up.
Then
this could be the scheme for you!'
Designed
for Indy producers, solo artists, students, novices, Camberwell
Studios recommended partners and previous clients. Independent
film-makers who can operate last minute, and can get a small crew
together to put those storyboards, pub ideas and graduate
masterpieces into a visual reality…
…FOR
THE FRACTION OF THE COST!
The
aim is to provide very affordable studio space for creative's that
have tight budget constraints, have their own kit and can work to
last minute call ups.
'Looking
for a Studio, in green, with camera op, for a half day?
The
Studio’s come pre-lit with dolly, track, mini-jib, black-out drapes
and all of the kit you would need to film your masterpieces. Set up
is provided by a professional technician so you get the availability
email, you book, we plan, you turn up and shoot!
If
you become an Indy Membership Member and If we have a slot free in
one of our Green screen Studio spaces that week then you will receive
an email alerting you to the availability of our Studios and if you
have projects that have been sat on the backburner for a while, then
this is the perfect opportunity to book with us at a very lost cost.
Indie
Membership Scheme
could be used for:
- Music videos, EPK’s, performance recording
- Development projects
- Test shoots,
- Pilot shoots
- Game show format testing
- Set build days
- Training sessions
We
have received some very good feedback for the Indie
Membership Scheme
and lots of filmmakers have been giving us their ideas
Its
FREE to join, all you need to is fill in the small form and you will
be added to the mailing list for updates, offers and low cost, last
minute Studio space that is hard to say no to!
So if you are like the band I mentioned in the 1st section above then get in touch. If you can get your ensemble, your contributors, the artist you represent or yourself ready, with a few days notice then we can offer our services at a massive discount.
Announcing the new winner of our PRIZE DRAW
Congratulations to Stuart -
Stuart Manages a band and would like to do a music video in our Studio 1. Involving a padded cell and face masks. maybe Ill get to see some of the wilder antics with his proposed shoot. Maybe they'll be as conscientiousness and hard working as the guys from the band I'm talking about....
Here's what Stuart had to say about winning the prize draw.
''Winning the studio time prize was fantastic news and great timing''
I manage an up and coming rock band Never A Hero (www.neverahero.net) and with them having just finished their new album, we were just in the process of looking at what to do for the next video
The last video was the first single Burning Skies" off of the new album "Bleed between the lies". It turned out great and so we knew the next one had to top that one.
For the eagle eyed amongst you - you may spot Bruce Jones (aka Les Battersby) in the last video.
Nothing is totally set in stone as yet, but it is looking like the video will be for the song "Screams of Silence" and we have indeed got thoughts on a padded cell theme.....with a few Never a Hero twists of course and knowing this band, there will be a thousand changes between now and shoot day.....so apologies in advance to the amazing folk at Camberwell Studios
For anyone looking to check out the band please connect with them at any of the following...
