BLACKOUT

Please download our floor plan below. 

The Blackout Set at Finchley Studios is a versatile, fully controlled studio environment designed for professional video production and photography. The space allows you to control the lighting and create a range of different visual styles, making it suitable for interviews, corporate videos, social media content, commercials, product videos, photography and creative productions. Its controlled environment makes it particularly useful when you want a more polished or cinematic look without relying on natural daylight.

The Blackout Set is particularly suitable for corporate videos, interviews, commercials, product demonstrations, social media content, promotional videos and photography. It works especially well when the lighting needs to be carefully controlled or when you want to create a more dramatic, professional appearance. The flexible environment means the same studio can be adapted for different productions, from a simple presenter-led video to a more elaborate branded shoot.

Yes. Lighting can be adapted to suit your production, which is one of the key advantages of a blackout environment. Professional lighting can be used to create different moods, colours and levels of contrast, from a bright corporate appearance to something more dramatic and cinematic. If you have a particular visual reference or lighting style in mind, send it to us when booking so we can help you plan the setup.

The Blackout Set can be customised using lighting, props, furniture, branded visuals and other production elements. We can provide a 55-inch screen for displaying your logo or other branded content, while RGB lighting can be used to introduce your company's colours into the scene. The most useful thing you can do is communicate your requirements before booking. Brand colours, measurements, reference images and technical questions are all welcome.
