Building A Production Studio: S1E1 | Our First Studio

Thank you for checking out our new series of videos about the making of Hill and Valley. In this first episode, we cover the origins of our first-ever creative space in downtown Rochester, NY, USA. In future episodes, we will share more challenges we have faced and all of the changes we have made.
I was inspired by other companies that documented and shared their journey. I love the transparency and raw truth behind starting a business. We hope to take documenting and sharing our journey to the next level not just for ourselves but also so you can learn from our mistakes.

I just subscribed to your channel. I just opened my studio a few months ago. I have a very similar story. Much luck

[@hllvlly]

Thanks! Congrats on the studio!

[@medialinx767]

Love the whole studio space man! I have a similar story thats like halfway through. currently running stuff from my home studio/office and searching for a sizeable commercial space to grow. This video provided some great inspiration. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely make sure there is AC beforehand 😅😅

[@hllvlly]

Thank you for your comment! I am so glad to hear that. There are a lot of factors to consider for your first studio, and unfortunately the biggest one is always price. I hope you find a space you love that fits in your budget! - Adam

[@TCJOHNSTONE]

This is really cool. Well done!

[@hllvlly]

Thank you so much! We will have some more videos about our new studio in the new year!

[@21snapstreet]

Definitely subscribed to your channel guys. I feel like you do such a good work in your videos and work that you should have like 100k subs. whats wrong with youtube? Keep up the good job

[@hllvlly]

Thank you so much! We really appreciate that. We are working hard to put out more high-quality videos this year. I am glad you have been enjoying them! - Adam and the HVC team.

You have any issues with a yellow cast coming off the wood floors? My office has wood floors and it creates this awful yellow cast over everything

[@hllvlly]

Honestly not so much! It 100% has some impact and warms the image, but when shooting on set we typically have so much control over the light that there not as much light hitting the floor. I have noticed when I am just shooting for fun around the office and using AWB, I will have to cool the images off in post a little bit.
