04 · Infrastructure

A controlled production environment.

We remove the risks that come with outside contractors. SA Studios combines its own studio, broadcast equipment and training expertise.

Our own studio

Auditorium, stage and control room are in one place in Schenkon. You do not need to spend budget on finding and hiring venues or moving equipment.

Broadcast standard

Television-level picture quality: 6–8 cameras filming at once, a control desk, a 15 m² LED wall and live output in 2K.

Speaker preparation (Swiss Academy)

We prepare your senior managers for filming before they arrive. Swiss Academy's experts work with them on the structure of the message, the logic of the presentation and a confident delivery on camera.

Your visual identity on screen

We adapt to you. We can develop the concept and running order from scratch, or fit the production seamlessly into your existing corporate design and brand guidelines.

One point of responsibility

Concept, filming, graphics and post-production are all done by one in-house team.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Discuss a project
Do you run projects end to end or only do the filming?

End to end. SA Studios covers the whole process: concept, set design, technical production, live directing and finished content.

How is Event-to-Content different from an event recap video?

A recap video is used once. Here we plan the content before the event: recap formats, multi-camera versions of the key sessions, short vertical videos and individual speaker talks.

How soon do we receive the finished content?

Deadlines are set at the strategy stage and depend on what is in the package. Fast formats for social media and the main post-production are planned separately.
