Studio B's cove lit deep blue with two para softboxes and a standing mirror at the edge of frame

Hire · SE5 9HW, South London · from £40 · open 7 days

The company, on camera, without the fuss.

Most corporate video is one of four things: a leadership message, an expert interview, a training module or a piece for the company's channels. All four want a quiet, consistent room where a non-actor can relax and the take is usable the first time — and a building where the client can wait, eat and get touched up between set-ups.

How it works

  1. 01Send the brief and the running orderHow many people, how long each has, whether it is a plain backdrop or the brand colour. That sets the room and the block, and tells us whether a buyout would close the building for a sensitive message.
  2. 02Book the blockStudio B is £120 for two hours, £220 for a half day and £420 for a full day; the podcast room is a flat £40 an hour; the workshop is £120 for a half day. Set-up and pack-down sit inside the booked time.

The rooms for it

Studio B dressed with a pink sofa on the white cyclorama under a fresnel light
Studio BSound treated as a room within a room and blackout capable, so the chief executive's piece to camera comes back clean and the light holds across the whole slate of interviews. The cove washes to the brand colour, and an edit and playback area means the comms team approves the take on the day.From £120Check Studio B availability
The podcast room: four microphone booms around bouclé seating, under an arc lamp
Podcast RoomCamera-ready and acoustically treated with professional microphones and interfaces in the room, at a flat £40 an hour — the efficient room for an internal podcast, a Q&A or a series of short expert pieces.From £40Check Podcast Room availability
The workshop: a long bench of iMac workstations under the original circular ceiling light well.
WorkshopTwenty seats and ten iMac workstations: a training-day room, a green room for a dozen interviewees, or the edit suite that cuts the module the day after it was shot.From £120Check Workshop availability

Straight answers

What does corporate video studio london cost at Scope?
Studio B starts at £120. Podcast Room starts at £40. Workshop starts at £120. Set-up and pack-down are inside your booked time.
Can we film a leadership or all-hands message privately?
Yes. Studio B is a room within a room and closed to everyone but your crew for the booking; for a message that must not be overheard at all, a whole-building buyout from £1,500 a day puts nobody else on site. The DJ room is the one room outside a buyout.
Can we shoot headshots and video on the same day?
Yes. Studio B is the room for both: the same lit set-up serves a seated interview and a headshot, and the adjustable backdrop system and colour-washable cove change the look between them.
Is there somewhere for staff to wait and prepare?
Yes. A client lounge, a kitchen and a dressing and prep room are in the building, and the workshop room seats twenty when a whole team is being filmed in turn.
Can we run training in the morning and film it in the afternoon?
Yes. The workshop room — twenty seats, ten iMacs — takes the session at £120 for a half day, and Studio B or the podcast room records the pieces to camera.
Do you supply a crew or camera kit for corporate video?
The booking is the room. We have not published an in-house kit list, so tell us what you are bringing and what you want supplied and we will confirm it in writing. Lights are charged separately — please enquire about our lights.
