Index 04 / Sessions FORMATS / THE HIVE

What gets recorded here.

Six formats run in The Hive, the recording room at Kreate Vision Studio in Palatine, Illinois: solo, interview, roundtable, live stream, course recording and content days. Each one below says how many people it fits, which booking it uses, and where the price starts. Named client work is not listed here until a client clears it.

01 Solo

One host, one chair, straight to camera.

Monologue episodes, video sales letters, and pilots. The simplest thing the room does and the fastest to set up.

One person

Podcast recording, from $375 (90 minutes)

02 Interview

A host and up to three guests at the table.

The format the room is built around. Cameras are already framed for host, guest and wide before you arrive.

Two to four at the table

Podcast recording, from $375 (90 minutes)

03 Roundtable

The full table, four people, one conversation.

Panels and group discussion. Four seats is the table, five people is the room, and that is the ceiling rather than a guideline.

Four at the table, five in the room

04 Live stream

Multi-camera, switched live, out to your channel.

Streaming setup is an add-on rather than part of the hourly rate. Say so when you book so the room is configured before your call time.

Up to four on camera

Podcast recording plus live streaming setup

05 Course

Modules recorded back to back with an operator.

Teaching content, onboarding libraries and training modules. Booked as a Content Session because the day is setups and resets rather than one continuous take.

One to three on camera

Content session, from $600 (two hours)

06 Content day

Several setups, several sets, one booking.

Short-form, brand video and photography in one block, moving between the five sets. The cheapest way to buy the room per finished asset.

One to four on camera

Rates in full on the pricing page: podcast recording is $250 an hour with a 90-minute minimum, content sessions are $300 an hour with a two-hour minimum, and longer blocks discount. Editing, captions, clips and distribution sit on the services page and are quoted separately, so the hourly rate stays the hourly rate. Recording something the room does not do yet?

FAQ

Picking a format.

How many people can record at once?

The table seats four, which is a host plus three guests, and the room takes five people in total including anyone not on camera. That is the physical ceiling of The Hive, not a recommendation.

Which format should I book for a course or training?

Book a Content Session rather than podcast recording. Course days are setups and resets rather than one continuous conversation, and the Content Session includes an operator. It starts at $600 for two hours, which is the minimum booking.

Can you live stream a session?

Yes. Live streaming setup is an add-on on top of studio time rather than part of the $250 hourly rate, so mention it when you book and the room is configured before your call time.

Do you have public client credits I can look at?

Not on this page. The formats listed here describe what the room runs, not a client list. Named work goes up when a client clears it, and until then this page does not imply otherwise. If you want to talk to somebody who has recorded here, ask and we will arrange it.

Your session starts when you sit down.
