Courses: film at home or in a studio?
Your course will sell hundreds of times: every image or sound flaw will be seen hundreds of times too. The home-or-studio question deserves real math, not a savings reflex.
The real cost of home filming
Decent gear (camera, lavalier mic, three-point lighting, backdrop) costs €1,500 to €3,000, and above all: every session starts with 45 minutes of setup and ends with flaws discovered in the edit. Over 20 modules, that friction adds up to entire days. And quality plateaus: a lit living room remains a lit living room.
What the studio changes for a course
The Board Room stage is built for volume production: a teleprompter for your scripts, slides on screen, module after module without touching the set, and a live rough cut while you film. A well-prepared day covers 5 to 6 finished modules. Course editing then delivers clean files, named, organized by module, in your platform's formats.
The math per module sold
Divide total production cost by the number of modules, then by the course's lifespan: the studio typically comes to a few euros per module per month of sales. What perceived quality unlocks in return (higher price, completion rate, brand image) repays the gap several times.
