I used to spend hundreds of dollars every time I recorded a podcast episode.
$150 an hour for a videographer. Another $150 an hour for an editor, and a one-hour episode never took just one hour to edit. That’s before renting a studio, which around here usually starts at $150 an hour too.
So I did what a lot of founders do and decided to just buy the gear.
Good cameras run about $5,000 each, and you need more than one if you want an angle on your guest. Then microphones. Then sound dampening. Then editing software. Then the hours it takes to learn all of it. I was pouring money and time into production that should have gone into my business, and the content still didn’t look the way I wanted.
That’s why I purchased Rookery Studios in Orem.
You show up and record. We handle the rest. Three 4K camera angles, professional video editing, audio engineering, and four rooms built for different looks, from the clean, minimal Polar Room to the classic Study Room. If you want, we’ll also cut your episode into clips and manage your social media for you.
One hour in the studio can easily turn into a month of content. Your expertise, on camera, looking like it belongs next to anyone in your industry.
For most of our clients the math is simple. A social media manager and a videographer will run you over $50,000 a year, plus the equipment. Walk in and one off recordings are $300. Memberships start at $997/mo. Our top membership including 8 hours of studio time, social media management, and all clips, edits, etc is $2k/mo with a discount to pay in full, and the rooms and gear are already here.
No big upfront cost to you.
This is built for owners and founders doing $250k a year or more who know they should be putting out content but don’t have time to become a production company.
If that’s you, send me a message and I’ll get you in for a tour of the studio.
