Stronghold Studios
Stronghold Studios encompasses a wide variety of creatives, we continually invest in our teams training, support and wellbeing.
We now have a studio facility in Bonnybridge, Scotland. Here we will be offering training, support and services to help others enter the film industry and achieve the careers of their dreams.
Showreels have always been a difficult thing to find the right balance of quality, exposure and making sure you make an impact. As a motion picture production company we have realised we are in a unique position to harness our skills to give you something special.
As we have several movies in production each year we are able to work with directors to find small roles and scenes that might be shot separately from the main unit of filming, this allows us to shoot them in a studio environment with the opportunity to shoot an extended scene (which gives the director more options in the edit, allows more freedom when shooting the scene and is great for behind the scenes extra content and fans of the film).
This opportunity is only available on our 'Starlight Showreel Package' and you will actually be paid for the hours you film by the production company and if you are needed for further filming, that will be paid work also. (all payments will be above minimum wage fees)
This gives you a great scene for your showreel, the chance for a director to take more time than usual shooting his movie and making the smaller scenes really shine and allows us to make your showreel include professional work from the get go.
Alongside this we're able to use our studio facilities to offer more regular style showreels and showreel services. Check them all out below.
