THE CONTROL ROOM

The Big Whig Media control room allows us to connect to our 6 studio spaces and produce our broadcasts all in one room!

Fully equipped with a Ross Carbonite switcher and Xpression graphics engine, our control room supports multiple cameras and playback sources.

From here we can integrate our DC Roof-cams with unique views of DC landmarks. 

STUDIO 1

Studio 1 features a 25’x25’ studio space with 13’ ceilings (10’ to light grid.) and is the focal point of most Big Whig Media productions. Studio 1 also sports a handy 10’ x 10’ wide green screen for shooting stand-ups on-demand. 

Our Ross Cambot heads on Miller air cushioned pedestals make framing any shots with our three Sony HXC-P70 cameras a snap. The cameras in Studio 1 are equipped with CueScript through-the-lens teleprompter heads. 

The studio space features a customizable anchor desk that can support up to five people.

The anchor desk itself features NEC monitors as well as 3 additional NEC monitors around the studio walls that can be adjusted with ease and precision to give a depth-of-field for our productions.

STUDIO 2

Studio 2 is about a 20’x20’ space with 11’ ceiling (8’6” to light grid.) and is the home of many of our podcast and vodcast productions. Much like studio 1, we can record and use CueScript through-the-lens teleprompter heads for script reads.

Studio 2 features a moveable lower style 4-person podcast desk with a center background monitor and an adjustable monitor attached to the desk. The space is fully customizable to fit a fire-side chat style set up adding a natural element to productions. 

Studio 2 also features an 8’ x 8’ green screen for stand-up needs. 

Both studios 1 and 2 are fully equipped with LED lighting controlled via an ETC Eos system, displaying an array of color palettes.

AT THE CORE

BWM is a 1080, multi-format capable production center. The center of our technology is separated from the studios and control room in what we call ‘The Core’. 

LTN, LiveU, Switch and our Dual Redundant Fiber Internet connections keep us connected to the world. Our dedicated fiber link to the magnificent ballroom spaces at the Willard Intercontinental hotel, allows us to ensure uninterrupted, seamless video transmission to the world of your event.

EDITING ROOMS

Big Whig Media’s complex also contains our 4 editing suites where our team’s dedicated editors take advantage of our state of the art Mac computers to edit our productions. 

Our editors are exceptionally proficient (but not limited to) video production software from the Adobe Creative Cloud including: 

Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, InDesign and Express Engine 

Our in-studio and on-sight productions are also supplemented with our team’s access to leading stock footage repositories, ensuring your footage meets appropriate copyright requirements 

All of our productions whether they are podcasts, explainer videos, internal communication materials, tv show productions, virtual events, hybrid events, public service announcements, or commercial productions are given special attention by our skilled team of editors.
