Studio Rental / Raw Footage Only: The Right Call for DIY Creators
Not every podcaster needs a full production team. Some hosts already have an editor, a workflow, and a vision — what they need is a great-sounding audio, high-quality video, and clean files handed over when they're done. That's exactly what our Studio Rental / Raw Footage Only service is built for.
What's Included
When you book this option at Content Club Chicago, you get:
Full studio access — your session, your space, for the time you've booked
Professional-grade mics, cameras, and lighting already set up and ready to go
A trained tech on-site (or on standby) to handle setup, sound checks, and troubleshooting
All raw, unedited files — audio and video — delivered to you after the session
What you won't get is post-production. No editing, no mixing, no color correction, no show notes. This tier is about giving you a clean, professional recording environment and getting the files into your hands as fast as possible, so you can take it from there.
Who This Is For
This service is a great fit if:
You already have an editor (in-house or freelance) who handles your final cut
You run a tight production schedule and need footage same-day
You want full creative control over the edit — pacing, cuts, sound design, all of it
You're testing a new show format and don't want to commit to a full production package yet
You're recording something outside a typical podcast episode — a video series, a promo reel, an interview for your own archive
Why Creators Choose Raw Footage Only
It's faster. No waiting on an edit turnaround — you walk out with your files the same day.
It's more affordable. You're paying for the room and the gear, not the hours of editing time.
It's flexible. Your files, your software, your process. Cut it however fits your brand.
What to Bring / Know Before You Book
Bring your own storage drive if you'd like a physical backup, or we'll send files digitally
Let us know your preferred file formats in advance (we can accommodate most standard audio/video codecs)
Book a little extra time if you're recording multiple segments — swapping setups takes a few minutes
