Welcome to Studio20

We film,
we record sound &
we make music

Hello There

We are Studio20

We don't see things as they are, we see them as we are. (Anais Nin)

Whenever we film our aim is to entertain, educate and bring about incremental change that contributes positively and peacefully to a better world.

Studio20 has several in-house 4k-cameras, lighting, sound, editing and associated equipment, together with the necessary skills and expertise to bring it all together.  We can film corporate explainers, training films, stories for web, television and even advertising content for cinemas... and, of course, documentary.

Operating either as a single person crew, or a crew of two or three, Studio20 can seemlessly integrate with larger production crews and can access a pool of talent for larger projects.

What We Do

We tell stories with
images and sound

Cinematography

We offer 4k output from ProRes 4:2:2 multi-camera recordings through prime or zoom lenses under a variety of natural, LED or tungsten sources. Time spent on lighting and composition contributes to quality cinematic work.

Location Sound

Stereo ambient recording. Shotgun and lavalier microphones for dialogue & interviews with digitial mixing; boom pole, blimp & windshield for outdoor work.

Audio Sweetening

When field recordings lack the quality of a carefully controlled studio environment we can remove unwanted noise and make enhancements, adding effects or music, with library or custom compositions, as required.

Where We Work

We plane, train, hike and four-wheel drive throughout Australia and internationally. We enjoy the challenge of creating work of stunning beauty with minimal equipment. We're creative, good-humoured, experienced risk-managers (with $10m of public liability insurance), resourceful in the field and always up for a challenge.

Stills Photography

Frequently an after-thought, stills photography is an important adjunct to any video work. Stills offer much higher resolution and editing potential than a screen grab and serve as a useful platform to promote a project via web, media packages or as part of a pitch.

Timelapse

We can timelapse, hyperlapse, drone, gimbal, slide, crane, tripod and shoulder.

Recent Work

Stills Gallery

It Came from Outer Space

Parkes Radio Telescope, Australia

At sunset it is not too hard to see why this dish is said to be the most beautiful in the world. At 64 metres in diameter its large collecting area concentrates weak and distant natural radio transmissions to the focus. From here they are amplified and radio maps of the night sky are created.

Earth Calling

Giant Quart Crystal, Florence

This crystal is about a handspan wide. When cut and subjected to an electric potential it will flex. This so-called piezo-electric effect allows the crystal to be used as an extremely accurate clock controlling frequency stability in transmitters and receivers and a host of other applications.

Meteor Noise

Jean-Louis Rault in Paris

Dr Rault is an expert in very low frequency radio wave propagation and investigates the likelihood of meteors producing such radiation as they enter the earth's atmosphere.

Maria's Story

Filming in Koppl, Austria

Only a few kilometres from Mozart's home in Salzburg, this lovely couple have spent two lifetimes yodeling and dueting around the hills of Koppl and around the world.

Song of Galileo

Vatican Museum, Rome

Most visitors walk straight past the moon rocks to the exit, being so overwhelmed by the shear volume of stuff to see in this oversized and overcrowded museum.

It Came from Outer Space

Galactic Centre, Western NSW

The magnificent southern hemisphere night sky looking toward the galactic centre. Large & small Magellenic Clouds visible.

Trained in documentary production at the Australian Film Television & Radio School, Studio20 principal partner Matthew Ryan has degrees in education, physics & theology. He was the recipient of a University of Sydney Fellowship and a Churchill Fellowship along with some other awards.

He has built machines to count meteors and radio transmitters powerful enough to send pulses to the moon. With wide ranging interests that span science, archaeology, anthropology and history, he is at home with technology as in a remote cave filming prehistoric petroglyphs. Matt is a passionate story-teller and has experience filming in remote locations within Australia and overseas.

With a keen eye for light and composition, he is no stranger to challenge and is resourceful in the field. He approaches storytelling in a relaxed, congenial manner and encourages interviewees to do the same... believing the stories that are worth telling are those that educate, entertain and improve our world.
