Live Performance
Video Studio Hire
London – UK
Keep the energy of the performance. Plan filmed artist sessions, stripped-back sets and performance-led videos at our Greenwich studio.
Let the performance
carry the film.
Start with the number of performers, instruments and tracks you want to capture. Then plan the background, lighting and camera positions around the session rather than interrupting the performance for every angle.
Allow time for rehearsals, framing tests and complete takes. Your crew can decide which moments need a wide master, a performer close-up or a detail of the playing.
One artist.
Your way to perform.
These stock photographs are visual references for performance styles, not photographs of Cineview’s facilities. Explore our studio gallery to see the actual space.
Performance-led films.
Capture the delivery, expression and movement of the artist. Discuss live sound or playback and agree the recording approach before the shoot.
Band sessions.
Map performers, instruments, amplifiers and cables alongside your camera coverage. Check the working area and schedule a sound test when recording is critical.
Intimate artist takes.
Build a focused setup for a solo performance, acoustic arrangement or spoken-word piece. Use the lighting and framing to support the artist’s presence.
Agree the recording plan.
Before booking the space.
Live audio.
Tell us what you need to record and how you will capture it. Bring your sound team’s requirements and arrange a viewing and sound test before committing to sound-critical work.
Playback performance.
If the film uses a pre-recorded track, plan playback, sync references and the repeatable sections your editor needs. Confirm playback levels and equipment requirements with the studio.
Camera coverage.
For multiple cameras, agree sightlines, lens choices and operator positions. Check that lighting stands and cables remain clear of movement and every planned frame.
Protect the takes.
Plan the day.
01. Share the set list.
Include track lengths, performer and crew numbers, instruments, playback or live-audio needs, and the final deliverables. Mention any special power or staging requirements.
02. Rehearse the setup.
Include load-in, instrument setup, pre-light, sound and camera tests in the booking. Allow enough time to make adjustments before the first recorded take.
03. Leave room for pickups.
Schedule breaks, repeat takes, instrument details, alternative openings and pack-down. If several tracks share a setup, keep a continuity record as you move between them.
Performance filming.
Your questions answered.
Can we film a live music session?
Share the performer count, instruments, sound requirements and planned camera setup. Arrange a viewing and sound test to confirm suitability for your recording before booking.
Are sound recording and filming included?
This page is for studio hire. Recording, camera crews, editing, mixing and streaming are not automatically included. Discuss any equipment or support you need separately.
Can we use multiple cameras?
Plan the positions, camera paths, lighting and performer area together. Send your setup requirements and check the floor plan before deciding on the coverage.
Can we bring our own instruments and kit?
Yes. There is no additional charge simply for bringing your own equipment. Share load-in, power and setup requirements in advance and allow for pack-down within the booking.
