Savoir faire studios were purpose built in 1992. The building contains two studios.
STUDIO 'A'
The major part is formed by a large cove which is an integrated part of the structure. The cove
has a very smooth continuous lining with seamless transition between flat and curved surfaces.
Apart from access and adjoining areas at one end, the cove including the ceiling is continuous.
The ceiling has very large radius curves on all four sides for exceptional lighting control. A section
of the ceiling is suspended on electric winches and can be lowered, moved and angled.
Studio 'A' is frequently used for car photography, the making of TV advertisements, DVD and
video production including pop videos, fashion, general commercial and advertising photography
as well as for casting, rehearsal and training. The cove is supplied pristine white unless otherwise
specified.
STUDIO 'B'
A smaller studio, but very versatile, it is designed as a flexible multipurpose studio and rehearsal
space. The total ground floor area is 1,100 square feet with drive-in access and a kitchen area.
An additional 755 square feet on the first floor is open to the ground floor, providing a shooting
gallery with a maximum headroom of 20 feet.
This studio may be hired alone or together with Studio 'A' as additional shooting space or service
area, or for set building, product storage, indoor parking and vehicle preparation.
