FILMING (Dry Hire For Both The Bridge and The Hold)

Filming (dry hire)

Any equipment from our hire site is available with a 40% discount if our spaces are hired for filming. This is subject to availability.

Camera operators and other technical crew are also available on request.

The Bridge for Filming

The Bridge offers the perfect space for talent to relax, for production meetings or breakout space. The panoramic windows flood the room with natural light making it the perfect spot for make-up and the snug can be screened off as a changing / private area.

Whilst it was not designed as a studio, many clients have chosen to use this space as a location for filming in, where the beauty of the room set against unique harbour views is perfect for a wide range of content such as presenter to camera, interviews and small panels.

The Hold for Filming

With a full lighting rig and limitless equipment available to hire on site, The Hold is an easy place to film master interviews, music videos, product and commercial shoots and presentations and photography.

With many pre-configured set-ups, choose from black-box, plush drapes, infinite white, greenscreen or flats. Or bring your own set or ask us to build one for you. The possibilities are endless.

Live Filming

We have used both spaces for a vast array of LIVE events and virtual events, even hosting a week-long film festival.

Cameras can be sent easily through to our gallery where remote guests can also be brought in to be broadcast live from the boat directly to any streaming platform via our dedicated leased line.
