Additionally, here over at Heldeke, we have our own recording studio as well! Here’s an introduction into Heldeke!TV Studio.
What services does Heldeke!TV Studio offer?
Our studio offers streaming services for virtually anything – events, meetings, workshops, virtual conferences, webinars, podcasts and videos. If you want to record a podcast (audio only), you will get audio from each microphone recording separately. If you want to record a video as well, you can book a 1, 2 or 3 camera setup. Additionally, you can choose your background to be either our original setup – red velvet curtain – or we can project your logo to the backdrop. After recording, you will receive separate files from each microphone and camera. And if you want the whole package deal with a fully edited final product and no extra fuss for you, that is also an option! We will edit the sound and video and can add your needed visuals or jingles to create the perfect final product. If you want to broadcast your show or event, we can set that up for you with visuals or jingles too. You can go live, chat with the audience, do Q&A’s or whatever else it is you do! All the tech you require will be set up before your arrival so it will all go swimmingly. Our studio is always operated by our tech manager and can’t be booked without the technician.
How can I make the Process as Smooth as Possible?
Best case scenario is that you know exactly what you want. Even better if you have some examples or references you can send on over! But if you don’t, then don’t fret! You can either email us or come over to see the studio and discuss all the details on the spot with the tech manager. If you are unsure of how much time you might need for recording, then we advise you to book a bit of extra time, at least for the first time.
What does a Day of Booking Heldeke!TV Studio look like?
The day of the booking is a walk in the park for you. All the details are already discussed beforehand with the tech manager – what background you need, how many mics and cameras you need etc. If you want to have your own visuals or jingles, then you will have to send those in before the day of. You can waltz in 30 minutes before recording where all the technical setup and layout is already prepared for you. The tech manager will do a sound and video check with you, adjust minor details accordingly and you can get comfy with a cup of fresh coffee or tea. And then the recording can begin! Easy-peasy! After recording, if you’ve only requested raw files, you can get them straight after recording or latest the next day from our server. If you’ve asked us to edit all the materials to a final product, then depending on the complexity of the material the process can take up to one week.
Does Heldeke!TV Studio offer services outside of the venue as well?
Yes we do! Our recording services can venture out wherever you need. When booking Heldeke!TV Studio to an external location, specify the layout and conditions for us when booking so we know how to prepare. Additionally, if you are looking for someone to photograph your event or shoot promo videos, our studio is equipped to do that as well. Recently, for example, Heldeke!TV Studio went all the way over to Tartu and helped record startup pitches from 10 people one by one. All was recorded in a monochromatic conference room and the process was fun for everyone involved. Just get in touch with us and we can come to you, wherever you are!
