Welcome to the Camberwell Studios Blog
Welcome to our blog pages, newly restructured to better reflect the our customers are interested in.
| Studio Life | Our occasional review of the work coming through our doors. We often get early sight of trends that will become important. 2016 was all about 360º and VR. |
| Greenscreen | Greenscreen shoots are amongst our most regular. In our articles we cover a wide variety of greenscreen matter that should be helpful for beginners through to the experienced. |
| Equipment Reviews | Choosing the right equipment to film with will take up any Production Managers time. There are always options and trade offs to take into account. Our occasional kit reviews will tell you more. |
| Film Production Tips | How do you film noir? Which is best, filming in greenscreen and ‘fixing it in post,’ or filming in camera? Photography and continuous light – which is best? |
