THE STUDIOS

Alternative Training Rooms: Train in care home settings

Our studios are completely kitted out with 6 cameras (5 on tripods and one on a full jib). We have lapel microphones and a directional microphone with ability to convert to a boom microphone. All sets have lighting from a gantry and with backlights, with the option to add more. You can live record and even live edit with the set up we use or record everything to an external USB-C drive and edit it later. We do offer editing services if you need help. Our blackout curtains take away the natural light to allow the lighting to do what it needs to and produce crisp video quality. 

Pricing:  £prices on enquiry

Prices include teas and coffees.

If you require a studio assistant for the day or would like to discuss our editing services as part of your booking, please contact us.

Bedroom Set

The bedroom set has a fully-operational profile bed, chest of drawers, wardrobe, bedside drawers, and table. It has a host of props around and can include equipment such as hoist, stand assist, walking frames, and more. 

 

If you like the room but want to switch out the set-up, we can. The bed is on wheels and can easily be replaced with chairs and a table. We can remove the wardrobe and drawers and all other equipment if you want to film something that is not related to Health and Social care.

 

Our sets have live wall sockets for electrical equipment if you require it. The paintings, mirror, and other objects on the wall can be removed / replaced, however, the windows and curtains are static and cannot be removed.

Dining Room Set

The dining room is again set-up, however it can be moved around, rearranged, or set-up as a different environment if required. We can even empty the room and a roll down the green screen behind it, so you can put yourself anywhere you want. 

 

Again, items on the walls can be removed or replaced. The tables and chairs can be replaced with a forward facing set-up to allow you to present face on to the cameras and film anything you like, from product promotion videos to podcasts or training videos.

 

You can bring in your own props and items to decorate the sets, however, everything must be removable and not cause any damage to the walls in any way.

Living Room Set

For Health & Social care training or filming, our living room is set-up is perfect for sit-to-stand techniques, using stand assists, hoists, and other equipment like Rotundas. 

 

The TV on the wall works and can be used to display a logo or video as a back drop for any filming you require. If you are not in Health & Social care, this set works very well for an informal podcast set up with a chair either side of the fireplace. It is also perfect for filming promotional videos of your products and the space means you can give demonstrations of larger products. It is a very flexible set and can cater to most needs.

 

This is one of the large sets we have, so you can really make this one your own to film your videos in a professional environment.

Bathroom Set

Our bathroom includes a fully functioning and operation bath. It lowers and raises and tilts. The door opens to allow you to walk-in and sit down. For Health & Social care training, it truly is a remarkable set-up.

 

This set is dedicated to all the work we do in Health & Social care and cannot be rearranged. Outside of Health & Social care, this set is not normally on offer. However, if there is a legitimate reason you would like to use it, then get in touch with us and discuss that with us.

 

Most of our sets can be customised and that means anyone who wants to produce quality videos can use them. We talk a lot about Health & Social care and have our standard sets for that industry, you can find out more about this by scrolling down the page.

Why Health & Social Care Sets

As mentioned, anyone can hire our studios and make use of them. Most can be arranged and set-up in multiple formats and to cater to most businesses needs. 

However, our main business, Training2Care, is a Health & Social care training provider. We use our studios to produce videos and to train people in. Having care home settings means the training we deliver is closer to how those people will experience it in real-life. 

One of our other brands, THEITEM.TV, is an eCommerce site that brings people the opportunity to find all the health and social care products they might need at home. The Item is a video based website and our studios were where we filmed everything and brought the manufacturers in to answer questions and allowed us to help people find exactly the right item they need.

The other reasons our studios spend a lot of their time set up as care home settings is because the studios double up as Health and Social Care Training Rooms for people to practice in an environment that is much closer to a real-world environment than a classroom or standard training room.

For anyone in Health & Social Care our studios make for some of the best training rooms you'll find. As you will have seen in the descriptions of the sets, or in the video, each room is one that you will find in a care home and they all have items you find and need in care settings. From profiling beds, hoists, and stand assists, to slings, reacher grabbers, and even one-touch radios and memory boxes.

You would be forgiven for thinking only one training session can happen in the studios because they are not self-enclosed spaces. However, we have a solution that means that 3 training sessions can happen simultaneously. Using our silent disco style headphones and transmitters, you can utilise different frequencies to have 3 different training courses running in the studios at exactly the same time.

If you would like to book our studios as training rooms, please let us know.

What else can you hire our studios for?

With the ability to adjust three of our sets to suit most needs there is something that we can do for most people. If you looking for an idea on who else could make sure of our film studios, have a quick look below.
