Broadcasting Studio Enhancement

Help me give my students a more effective recording studio by replacing the white tiles with black. We will also be painting the ceiling grid and walls black.

My Project

Our award-winning Shreve Media programs make great use of our studio set for a variety of video and photo projects. The set is also used by various sports teams for group and individual photos. There is one big issue!

When shooting groups and individuals at angles other that straight ahead, the ceiling is often visible in the background.

By replacing the generic white tiles with black, we would be able to provide a better product.

The program will paint the existing ceiling grid and a few wall sections to enhance the effect.
