Blueprint Partners has launched Blueprint Studios London, a purpose-built facility in Fulham. The studios are designed to give sports and entertainment broadcasters, podcasters and rights holders everything they need to deliver broadcast-quality shows at an accessible cost.

As podcasts become more sophisticated, and begin to acquire rights to include clips, highlights and more, the production requirements are becoming greater. Many YouTube or Spotify-first shows now require the facilities of a TV studio, but at a price point suitable for podcast producers.

Blueprint Studios London is designed for this shift in production trends, offering multi-camera production with full technical gallery, VT playback and clip ingest, talkback/IFB and remote contribution, Five standing, pre-lit sets and live graphics and sponsor branding. It also offer compliance recording and monitoring, rapid clip-out to social and simple online booking, at a podcast studio price point.

“As video-first podcast formats become more complex, requiring full playback, graphics, telestration – everything you’re used to seeing on a linear channel’s coverage – producers need a facility that’s built to support them,” said Mark Anand, chief creative and executive officer of The Blueprint Group. “Blueprint Studios London delivers TV-grade production at a podcast-friendly access point, in a central London location. Whether you’re producing a recap with official highlights, a branded talk show, or a live watch-along with instant social clips, this is the space to raise your game.”

Blueprint Studios offers flexible hire by the hour, day or week, making it viable for major rights-holders and production companies, as well as smaller independent creators. Behind the scenes, a connected virtual gallery is capable of orchestrating up to 80 simultaneous content channels across in-studio and remote feeds. The studio comes fully crewed, with standing sets and is instantly brandable via the in-built LED screens or through the use of virtual sets.
