The Studio, Royston

  • The Studio is my homely (client-facing) post-production sanctuary, located in the heart of Royston's Town Centre. The Studio is a 5 minute walk from Royston Railway Station - which is regularly served by trains between London St. Pancras International, London Kings Cross and Cambridge. The Studio is a direct 15 minute journey by train from Cambridge, and only 37 minutes from London.
  • At The Studio, I offer wide-ranging services which cover the full Film & HETV post-production pipeline including, but not limited to: Backup & Ingesting, Offline (Editing), Online (Colour/VFX), Audio (Design & Mix), Deliverables & Archival Solutions.
  • The Studio is fully equipped with a new, custom-built M1 Ultra Mac Station workstation (my primary post workhorse), fast ethernet/Wi-Fi, Avid Media Composer, DaVinci Resolve Studio 18, the full Adobe Creative Cloud suite and many more leading creative/technical applications. 
  • Our unique micro edit facility, which combines a homely setting with contemporary, cutting-edge tech at the backend can comfortably swim through any film, HETV or digital/new media workflow: HD, 2K, 4K, 8K or even 12K resolution. We can also edit, monitor and deliver natively in HDR / HFR, and all modern codecs/formats are supported, ensuring that the studio is at the forefront for tomorrow's post production requirements as well as today's.
  • Sessions are flexible & relaxed and can be In-Person, Remote via Internet or a mixture of both dependent on the client's preferences and scale/nature of the project.
  • I cater to a wide-variety of clients including: other local freelancers and production companies, small businesses, and professionals based regionally/nationally who seek post-production work with a personal touch and who continue to seek specialist creative services and consultation in niche areas.
  • Feel free to get in touch, and we'll take it from there!​
