Harlequins as Studio , Street and for Students later

Still thinking about easier ways to produce video. Eventually better bandwidth will take care of the upload speeds. Meanwhile need easier methods to record.

Central Exeter like other places is facing change. Harlequins is partly closed down and now expected to become Student Accommodation towards the end of 2019. Maybe some of the space could become a studio in the meantime? The photos show an area towards the middle where street space could allow a quick recording with hand held camera. Could there be short term use of a space? Who could offer some equipment? Could be sound only or stills as well as video.

Could try out the space during Exeter Arts Week, just a quick sample.

No info yet on how much retail space will be in a mix with the student accommodation. Exeter has so many projects for students it is possible they will have to offer more than just wifi to be attractive. Shared resources might include a Green Room for virtual / augmented reality and video recording. Seems a bit of a speculation but might be more expected over the next year or so. See videos below.

Possible benefit for others in Exeter would be if the Green Room was available some of the year for the public. Maybe other bits of studio. Students now produce mostly words but there may be more video or other forms of content expected. If they are in the city for accommodation maybe other resources will follow.
