At Mount Pleasant Studio, our clients have produced a wide range of productions in our live streaming TV studio in Holborn such as TV commercials and programmes. Our discreet television studio is nestled in the heart of Holborn and is an industry favourite, and for very good reasons:
Our state-of-the-art soundproofed TV stage is kitted out with a wide range of lighting equipment from Arri SkyPanel S60C LED lights, to 12Ks and down to a Dedo kit. We have accounts with major camera and lighting hire companies that are close by and can provide any further lighting or camera equipment that is needed at a competitive price.
Our staff has been helping production staff with their shoots since 2005 and their wealth of knowledge and recommendations can be called upon if needed.
Our U-shaped white infinity cove is prelit by eight spacelights and can be painted green for chromakey and VFX shoots.
We have an industrial kitchen next to the stage for food shoots and excellent catering options that can be supplied individually boxed for crew and client safety. Our comfortable green room areas (one newly added to allow for additional social distancing) are often praised by visiting companies and makeup, dressing, and shower rooms are included in the hire cost of the studio.
At Mount Pleasant Studio, we do our best to make the studio a safe environment. We aim to ensure that we take all the mitigating actions possible to reduce the risk of transmission of Covid-19 between those working on and attending shoots at the studio. We have looked at our floor plan based on 2m (rather than the upcoming “1-metre-plus” rule) between people and concluded that a maximum of 12 people can safely be on the stage itself. We have an additional 18ft x 12ft Green Room available as and when required to allow client, agency, or talent to be further socially distanced. It has a desk, makeup mirrors and sofas/armchairs.
We have up to 350MB fibre broadband with up to 25MB upload speed for live remote shoots and for playback to clients/staff supervising a shoot remotely using Q-take or similar systems.
At Mount Pleasant Studio, we are always looking for progression. We added permanent spacelights and cyclights – something that inspired many other studios to follow suit. In 2013 we replaced our L-shaped infinity cove with a brand new U-shaped one, something that we recorded for posterity. We’ve added many lights over the years, not least 6 Arri 5Ks, two Arri T12 12s for high-speed shoots and more recently 4 x Arri SkyPanel S60-C LED lights. We’ve refurbished Green Room and Make Up areas, making the studio an even more comfortable and convenient place to shoot, whether it’s a one day TV commercial or a three week kids TV series shoot. One constant is the fish in our Green Room fish tank which we’re told are a great calming influence if things get stressful on set. We are proud to have been fully powered by renewable energy via Ecotricity’s wind farms since 2008.
