Beloved British comedy stars Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders have helped open a brand new media production facility in Plymouth - custom-built for audio, video, live-streaming and remote collaboration š¤š„šļøš
The studios have been developed as a shared project between Fresh Air Studios and Voiceovers Ltd, both Devon-based.
The teams celebrated the official opening of their new Plymouth facility with a ribbon-cutting ceremony by comedy double act French & Saunders, alongside Chair of Devon & Plymouth Chamber of Commerce, Richard Stevens.
Paul Philpott, Managing Director of Fresh Air Studios said:
āThis has been a long-term project, funded independently, with a very simple aim ā to build something that supports, not just our own growth objectives, but the creative production sector throughout the South West.
This is about giving creatives the infrastructure to deliver at the highest level without having to head to London.ā
With recent projects including ADR (dialogue production) for episodes of BBC Oneās flagship comedy āAmandalandā, and Alien:Earth, live global television for GOD TV, āFrench & Saunders Titting Aboutā for Audible, radio drama for the BBC, and working on audiobooks for Miranda Hart, Monty Halls and Dawn French, the facility is already helping productions around the UK.
The new facilities include broadcast-style control rooms for live vision mixing and remote collaboration, a mid-sized studio for television and video podcasts, plus several smaller studios for voiceover, ADR, radio, drama, podcasts and voice-first production work.
Congratulations to Paul, Gary and the teams at
@freshairstudios and
@voiceovers.co.uk from us all at Film Devon - so brilliant to see this happening in the area š
