Studio 2
Textured Studio

Studio 2 isn’t a sound stage but it has been sound treated against external noises such as rain drumming and other potentially disruptive sounds. Although we cant guarantee a perfectly soundproofed space, we are extremely confident that you will receive minimal disruption to your shooting day.   

Studio 2 benefits from being a completely separate unit to the Tannery Studios Atrium, This means that you wont have shared amenities like kitchenettes and toilet facilities with the rest of our studios.

Studio 2 has a kitchenette with standard white goods appliances such as a fridge. the space also has a large kitchen island. The perfect place for crafty to set up. The space also additional storage and has two ground floor toilets for disability access.

Upstairs, we have a mezzanine with additional break out space, and a separate room for HMU which contains a large table that seats two, facing an expansive Hollywood style mirror, as well as two changing areas. Next to the HMU space, we also have a client area which boasts a floor to ceiling internal glass wall with views over the main shooting space.

Included in the hire of Studio 2 is a 63 amp 3 phase distribution box that splits out into multiple 32/16 amp sockets. We also supply 16amp to 13amp adapters.

We also supply a number of c-stands included in the price, as well as sand bags and a speaker.

Yes. Unlike some studios, our electricity costs are included in our fee. Furthermore, our onsite solar array generates a significant portion of our energy needs. This is valuable in a couple of ways. Firstly, we are delivering on our commitment to a sustainable future for the film industry and the part that we play. And secondly, it means that you can enjoy slightly lower prices! 

Studio 2 can be configured as a daylight shooting space or a blackout shooting space. we can also arrange hire of black drapes that can span the entire circumference 

Studio 2 can accommodate bookings with up to 25 people. If you have a larger shoot, please get in contact to discuss your needs as we may need to look into allocating additional space and parking in order to streamline your experience over the booking duration.

Filming and photographing against textured backgrounds offer several advantages that can increase production value:

Increased Visual Interest: Flat backgrounds can appear bland. Textures like brick walls, weathered wood, or fabric patterns add depth and visual intrigue. They break up monotony and draw the viewer’s eye into the scene, creating a more engaging composition.

Enhanced Subject Separation: Textures can create a natural separation between your subject and the background. This is especially helpful for portraits or product shots. By using a textured background, you ensure your subject pops and doesn’t visually blend in.

Storytelling and Mood: Textures can be chosen to evoke specific moods or tell a story. Rough brick can add a sense of urban grit, while weathered wood creates a rustic atmosphere. Choosing the right texture can subtly reinforce the message or feeling you want to convey in your film or photograph.

Dimensional Lighting: Textures play with light and shadow, adding another layer of visual interest. They create highlights and lowlights that wouldn’t be present with a flat background. This can enhance the overall depth and realism of your scene.

Creative Control: Textures offer the potential for unique and artistic effects. Experimenting with different textures can lead to unexpected and visually stunning results. You can control the prominence of the texture by adjusting camera distance and lighting.

Exposed Brick

Our exposed brick wall is a production favourite. The wall is texture heavy with areas of fading and sandblasted paint to give it more of an industrial/urban feel.

Reclaimed Wood

On the wall at the back of Studio 2, we have a large wooden feature wall that spans 11 meters and is made from reclaimed materials. We wanted to take this look a step further by fire blasting the knots in the wood to create more contrast making this an incredible background to shoot against. 

Rusty Corrugated Iron 

Near the roof we have corrugated iron which is another layer to the East London Industrial Warehouse aesthetic. This is particularly visible in our upstairs client area and during low angle shooting.
