The room

One room,
three setups

PinkHouseLab is a single room inside a barn rebuilt in the middle of an olive grove. A hundred square metres, wooden ceiling, acoustic drapes, warm light. A seated string orchestra fits, and the walls are painted with chroma key paint: the green screen is not rigged, it is already there.

The other two setups do not live here: they load into a car. The documentary kit and the mobile gallery for streaming. The documentary is shot at the artist's home and finished in the room.

Floor area: 100 m²
Recording: Pro Tools
Interface: MIDAS MR18
Monitoring: Genelec 5.1 and Tannoy
Video: Chroma key walls

The live room set up with stands and microphones — The live room

In the room

Monsano, 100 m²

Tracking, overdubs, mixing and mastering. Surround system, full microphone locker, instruments on site. You move from a music session to a video shoot without striking anything.

On location

Films, Documentaries and Streaming

Multi-camera shooting, production sound, radio mics and field recorders. The kit that shoots a documentary wherever the subject happens to be.

Live gallery

Multi-camera streaming

Video switcher, monitoring and live audio in one transportable position. Concerts and events broadcast as they happen.

The walls

Chroma key painted, not rigged

The green is paint on the walls, not a backdrop to hang. That means no rigging time, no creases to light around, and the option to interview a musician ten minutes after recording them.
