Camberwell Studios' Brand New Cove

We have completed several new additions to the space that will give all our clients more options, a greater range of movement and flexibility including a Brand New Infinity Cove throughout.

The space is 7m wide, 3.75m tall at the back and 10m deep on the new and improved right hand wall.

The cove is 45cm out from the wall. It's a perfect size in that only a little floor space has been lost and its perfect for the job of reducing shadows. Clients should be able to walk in, shoot and get a perfect key. Smooth and even throughout for consistency and tough too.

We have extended the back wall up a further 1m too and increased the cove on the side walls for greater range of subject movement and better options overall.

It was no easy task. There was over a ton of paint that needed scraping down. Hundreds of layers of green, white and blue paint layers with a few smatterings of grey, cream and graffiti. It was like looking at the rings of a cut tree, counting how old the tree is through the rings and years

This new refurbishment will give our clients many more options moving forward. They can achieve wider shots, more range in track and dolly shots, a more even key all round, even with walking shots they can use more of the space as shadows are reduced.

We didn't want to compromise on anything, including losing too much space but the size of the cove and the way it has been carefully created means we can still offer a very similar footprint for productions.
