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.
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.

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.
