The studio · Kampala

Walk in with an idea. Leave with a programme.

A fully equipped audio-visual studio with immersive green-screen capability and professional recording equipment — for podcasts, interviews, commercials and video productions. Bring your own crew, or use ours.

The Kontext Media studio in Kampala: two interview chairs and a low table with microphones, acoustic panelling and a slatted wood wall behind, lit by a Godox softbox, with a camera on a tripod in the foreground

What gets made here

Four things this room is built for

Podcasts

Recorded to publish, not to fix later

Multi-microphone recording for up to 4 people, video and audio captured together, in a room that is treated so you are not editing out the air conditioning afterwards.

Interviews

A background that does not distract

Single or multi-camera setups against the cyclorama or a dressed set. The same room our own newsroom interviews are shot in.

Commercials

Green screen, keyed properly

An immersive green-screen floor lit for clean keying, so the composite holds up at full resolution rather than falling apart at the edges.

Video production

Scripted pieces, start to finish

Explainers, training films, campaign videos and documentary segments — scripted, shot and cut by the team that makes our own programmes.

Rates

Published, so nobody has to ask

Most studios in this market make you email to find out. Publishing the rate filters out the enquiries that were never going to convert, and wins the ones that were.

How a booking works

  1. Tell us what you are making

    The format, roughly how long, how many people on camera, and the date you have in mind. A paragraph is enough.

  2. We hold the date

    We come back within one working day with availability, a quote and anything we think you have not accounted for.

  3. Confirm

    Deposit 50% of the fee at booking, clear the balance on the day. In case of cancellation or date changes, a 5% charge applies.

  4. Shoot

    Arrive at call time, the room is lit and ready. You leave with the raw files the same day.

Questions people ask before booking

Can I bring my own crew and equipment?

Yes.

Do you edit, or do I leave with raw footage?

Both are available. We offer editing at a fee, or you can take your raw footage with you.

How far ahead should I book?

A 7-day lead time is preferred.

What happens if I need to move the date?

Cancellation and rescheduling is possible at a 5% charge.

Do you shoot on location as well?

Yes. Different rates apply.

Who owns the footage?

You do.

Nine questions, four of them required. Enough for us to come back with a date and a price rather than another email asking what you meant.

The studio · Kampala

Tell us what you are making

Enough for us to come back with a date and a quote. Four things are required; the rest sharpens the answer. We reply within one working day.

Leave empty if this is for yourself.

Faster than email for holding a date.

Roughly is fine — we will come back with what is free near it.

Crew and guests off camera do not count.

What you need from us Tick everything that applies, or none if you are not sure yet.

Running time, whether it is live, a green-screen composite, a tight turnaround — whatever changes the quote.
