Made in Abbotsford
Walk in, sit down, press record.
The studio lives inside The Garden’s HQ at 4/651 Victoria Street, Abbotsford. Walk in and the room is already set: coloured Nanlite lighting tuned to your brand, a RØDE PodMic at every seat and Sony FX30s framing the shot. A technical producer handles setup on every booking, so the first ten minutes go into settling your guest rather than untangling cables.
Record a solo piece straight down the lens, host a four-person panel across multiple camera angles, or bring a remote guest in on audio. However you run it, you walk out the same day with separate audio and video tracks on your own drive.

How many people can the studio hold?

What format is the video delivered in?
Video is captured in 4K at 30fps and downsampled to 1080p 30. You receive separate video and audio tracks, so your editor has full control.
Can a guest join remotely?
Yes. Remote call-ins are available at an extra charge, with the caller joining on audio.
Can the studio match my brand?
Yes. The Nanlite lighting is fully colour-adjustable, so the room can be lit to your brand palette or the theme of your show.
Is editing included?
The two hourly packages deliver raw files on the day, ready for your own editor. The by-episode package includes the full audio and video edit, titles, descriptions, thumbnails and 3 to 5 short-form clips per recorded hour.
Where is the studio?
Inside The Garden’s Melbourne HQ at 4/651 Victoria Street, Abbotsford, a few minutes from Victoria Park station with parking nearby.
