Our Multi-Camera Green Screen Studio
In September 2022 we launched our new live, multi-camera green screen studio and production control room based in the grounds of Hurstmere School, Sidcup.
Our new facilities are equipped with full HD broadcast equipment, perfect for young people to get hands-on experience and learn more about live multi-camera TV & Film production. This creates an environment where leadership and teamwork are nurtured, and young people can experience production roles by working on different projects, taking an initial concept through to a final creation. This is also a perfect space for our Arts Award centre facilities.
Since 2022 we have worked in the studio with many pupils from Hurstmere as well as young people from across the Borough and beyond. We have run many holiday courses in the studio where participants are able to benefit from our multi-camera production workshops initially created for and run by us at the British Film Institute.
With Hurstmere School we have worked with over 600 pupils and staff bringing their ideas from a range of different curriculum areas to life in the green screen studio.
We are particularly proud that for our 2023/24 Through Our Eyes lottery-funded project, pupils were able to film, mix, and interview alumni using a range of different styles and backgrounds.
Recently we were able to work with Year 11 Media Studies pupils enabling them to use the green screen to create their ‘magical’ films as part of their GCSE coursework which gained them excellent results. We continue to work in the studio on different areas of the curriculum with Hurstmere as well as external projects with many other groups.
Peter Barrett, Director of end2end TV CIC said:
The skills and knowledge already attained have prepared our young participants to take on the complexity and advanced techniques needed to make amazing film and TV programmes.
As a society we often ask children and young people what they would like to do or be when they are older. This can be a difficult question to answer, but anyhow why do they have to wait that long? Young people can do amazing things right now when they are given an opportunity. We have worked with so many forward thinkers, creative storytellers and young filmmakers aged 7 - 16 - which has been an absolute privilege! We are looking forward to our next chapter in our new base.
Lorraine Smith, Director of end2end TV CIC said:
We are so excited by the possibilities ahead! We can't wait to continue working with the staff and pupils at Hurstmere, our teenage crew and further reach other young people within the community. It's now time for them to bring their projects to life in our fantastic studio space and we can't wait to see their amazing ideas take shape!
Please feel free to contact end2end TV CIC to discuss how we can support your project ideas becoming a reality!
