Propeller Studio is the UK's boldest and most innovative viewing facility. It uses four broadcast-quality cameras, which are remote-operated and film the discussion from all angles. You watch via five flat screens, and take away with you a professionally vision-mixed film of the group. Our stylish studio and friendly staff have attracted a loyal following of clients.
