Story + Space - nine content creation studios under one roof in Nottingham

The problem

Great content needs the right space. Most creators don't have one.

You're shooting in a converted garage, a borrowed living room, or a white box that looks like everyone else's. The content never quite looks the way you pictured it.

The good studios are an hour away in Birmingham. Hiring kit, lighting and a space separately is expensive, and you still have to set it all up yourself.

So your brand looks smaller than it is. You shouldn't have to choose between travelling for hours or settling for content that doesn't do you justice.

The solution

THE STUDIOS

Nine purpose-built studios under one roof, each designed for a specific type of content. The podcast and gaming rooms come fully equipped, the content studios include lighting, and remote support is on hand for every booking. Pick your space and start shooting.

9 STUDIOS. ONE LOCATION. THE ONLY KITCHEN STUDIO AND BOXING GYM IN THE MIDLANDS.

THE STORY

You know your content could look better. You just need a space that does it justice, run by people who understand what you are trying to make.

Story + Space was designed by Christopher Bailey, a fitness photographer with 20 years behind the camera and work published in Muscle & Fitness. He has shot in hundreds of studios, so every one of these nine was built from the photographer's side of the lens, with the details that actually matter.

Not generic white boxes, but spaces with real character. A vintage New York boxing gym. A fully-equipped kitchen studio. A nearly 2,000 sq ft car studio. Podcast suites with soundproofing and multi-camera 4K. A loft flooded with natural light.

The podcast and gaming studios come fully equipped - you don't even need a camera - and remote support is on hand for every booking. You just need a story to tell, and a space that finally lets you tell it properly.
