Frequently Asked Questions
-
The studio is available to book via our online reservation tool from 09:00 to 17:30, Monday to Friday (excluding UK public holidays). If you require an evening or weekend session, please contact us at studio@footwork.media to discuss availability.
-
Every booking includes a 15-minute buffer on either side of your allotted slot. This gives you time to arrive, settle in, and handle any setup before recording begins. To keep things running smoothly for everyone, please ensure you depart within your 15-minute wrap-up window to avoid overtime fees.
-
All bookings include a dedicated engineer to handle your microphones, lighting, and cameras. Your engineer will also vision mix your recording live, switching camera angles to follow the conversation. You’ll leave with a pre-cut, mixed-down file that significantly reduces your editing time. We also include all the raw files in case your editor needs to make any other adjustments.
-
We will transfer your raw audio and video files to you immediately after your session. Please bring a Solid State Drive (SSD) with at least 150GB of available space for a speedy transfer. If you prefer, we can provide Digital Delivery via Google Drive within two working days for a fee of £30 (inc. VAT).
