ON-STAGE STUDIO

A NEW YEAR A NEW STAGE

The Berman, as with all theatres during these trying times, has had to keep the ghost light turned on as stages have remained dark. With the new year there is hope that we may return soon to turn the stage lights on. Despite the dark we have been working on a new initiative called the On-Stage Studio. Our goal is to provide a place where community can utilize professional services to produce events, discussions, classes, and content for their streaming audiences.

We are now prepared to turn the lights on your device! From start to finish, The Berman can offer the support and talent to help your content take another step toward a potential new platform.

SMALL-SCALE & LIVE SHOT STUDIO

A Berman On-Stage Studio is a single or multi camera insert studio on our stage, pre-lit with presenter monitor and a large display, the studio can also be used for vignettes, episodes, recurring series, conference support, and speech recording.

JBaby’s recent New Years Baby Shark produced by The Berman On-Stage Studio. Shot in two 20 min, separate single camera green screen sessions, a socially distanced audio record session, and one coached remote quarantine recording session. All pieces were edited together in post and was completed within a few hours and rendered appropriately for a zoom party.
PJ Library of Metro Detroit and JFamily’s series Goodnight Zoom. Filmed at The Berman On-Stage Studio. Using a multi PTZ camera system, this series is filmed and pre-edited in the studio with 2 to 3 hour recording sessions. Post editing produces the final product. The video spends approximately 1 to 2 days in post and is rendered directly for YouTube and Facebook premieres.

MEDIUM-SCALE LIVE & RECORDED SHOWS

Our full stage studio is our multi-camera “ready to shoot” studio for live shows to Facebook, YouTube or other digital platform. It is equipped for recording shows as well, all using practical sets and lighting.

Nicely Theatre Group’s Disenchanted! A New Stay at Home Musical.
