THE HIVE / PALATINE
The Hive is the flagship recording set at Kreate Vision Studio, 800 E Northwest Hwy Suite 90, Palatine, Illinois, one of five built sets alongside The Good Life, The Hearth, The Library, and The Screening Room. Three broadcast cameras, a hexagonal LED wall, soundproofed walls, and an engineer on every booking. Studio time is $250 per hour. You arrive, you sit down, you record. The room is built and run by the owner, who is in the building on session days.
The sets
Five sets.
Five sets.
One standard.
Five built sets under one roof, each with its own look. Same address, same booking, same engineer-included standard. Every set below is photographed as it stands today.
01 / FLAGSHIP 
02 / MOSS WALL The Good Life
A living moss wall in bloom with neon script above two tufted armchairs. The set guests photograph before the recording even starts.
03 / FIREPLACE The Hearth
Brown armchairs either side of a fireplace in a bright, soft room. The quietest set in the building, and the one that photographs warmest.
04 / BOOKCASE The Library
A floor-to-ceiling bookcase washed in colour behind a white desk. Built for two, and the set that reads as authority on camera.
05 / SCREEN The Screening Room
Cool teal shelving and a white desk with a screen in frame. The late-night broadcast look, and the set for anything you need to show.
