At the start of the pandemic, we turned a small corner of our garage into a streaming studio. Friends and sponsors of our Spin For Life fundraising initiative offered lights, cameras and screens to get us going. We dismantled old parkour sets to make the lighting grid. We built computers and backdrops and experimented with every streaming and cueing technology we could find. Within that first year we produced dozens of shows, hosted fitness fundraisers, full digital conferences and even won “Best Digital Event” from the Canadian Digital Publishing Awards for our production of Avenue magazine’s Top 40 Under 40.

In 2023 we started a massive renovation. Now, RocketHouse Studio has more than 3x its original filming area. We can shoot fully in the round on 500 sqft of staging area that is large enough to host small audiences, full bands and theatrical performances.

RocketHouse Studio is a full-service studio for small and medium-sized video, streaming, audio and photo productions. It is fantastic for:

  • Corporate Marketing Videos
  • Music/Artisanal Videos
  • Podcast Production
  • Livestream Event Programs (Conferences, Awards Programs, AGMs, etc.)
  • Training and Educational Videos
  • Social Media Content Creation
  • Hybrid and Small Audience Productions
  • Virtual Fireside Chat Productions (with a literal fireplace)

RocketHouse Studio (Before the Renovation)

Top 40 - Produced at RocketHouse Studio

Most of our shows are run via a combination of vMix, NDI-enabled equipment, Qlab and various other softwares that our technical staff will manage.

We have an otherworldly amount of available power in the Studio (48 20A circuits, 4 30A and a dryer plug…sorry, no 3-phase). If you want to add in a lot of additional tech elements, it may require external rentals, but we can likely power it.

If you need us to take it a step further by helping to create your content, manage your speakers, design graphics, design sets…anything, we can build out what you need. Ask us for a quote for additional production management.

And, RocketHouse Studio is a converted garage. We still have the overhead doors. If you wanted to showcase a vehicle in the studio, or a grand piano, it can be driven / rolled in at street level and set to be filmed.
