The Robertson Media Center can help you produce high quality videos using our equipment checkout and production spaces. Give the video studio a try, or check out equipment at the front desk and take it with you!
Video studio
The Video Studio is a video production space with a wide variety of professional-level equipment including adjustable lighting, a Canon XF300 camera, a teleprompter, audio equipment, four different backdrops, and a number of props. This is a good place for producing professional looking interviews, shooting with the green screen, and recording class presentations.
Training is required prior to using the video studio, including a video series and in-person assessment (sign up here). Studio reservations are required and are mediated by RMC staff.
Equipment
The Robertson Media Center offers a wide range of equipment for walk-up use (first-come, first served), as well as a selection of high-end equipment that requires a bit of training before making a reservation. If you're not sure which video camera to borrow, take a look at our comparison information to help you decide!
