Music Video Production and Set at Ivy Hall
Ivy Hall is a historic estate brimming with character, modern amenities, and all the creative energy you need to bring your music video concept to life. From elegant, vintage-inspired interiors to lush outdoor spaces, Ivy Hall provides a unique canvas for telling your story on screen.
Key Components of a Music Video Production
1. Set Design and Location
The right setting can make or break your music video. At Ivy Hall, you have the flexibility of shooting in spacious, beautifully maintained rooms featuring original hardwood floors, arched doorways, and warm, natural lighting that lends itself to a range of visual styles. Step outside, and you’ll find manicured grounds and picturesque landscaping, offering a serene backdrop if you’re aiming for an outdoor scene. Together, these environments create the perfect stage—whether your vision is intimate and acoustic, or grand and cinematic.
2. Lighting and Atmosphere
Ivy Hall’s timeless architecture pairs well with modern lighting setups to create dramatic contrasts or soft, ambient moods—whatever your music calls for. Our high ceilings and well-thought-out floor plan make it easy to position lighting rigs and capture the depth of each scene. The estate’s natural light can also be harnessed for daytime shoots that emphasize a bright, airy aesthetic.
Even if your final video isn’t a “live” shoot, top-notch audio is critical in any music video. Ivy Hall is equipped with professional studio gear such as a Neve VR 24 Channel Console, Burl AD/DA converters, and industry-standard preamps to ensure that if you do record any live elements, the sound quality rivals that of major-label productions. Our extensive collection of microphones, outboard effects, and monitors gives you the freedom to capture every nuance of your performance.
4. Crew and Coordination
A great location is only half the battle; you also need a coordinated team. Ivy Hall’s in-house engineers and production staff can guide you through every detail, from laying out the shoot schedule to helping you set the right mood for each scene. That way, you can stay focused on delivering the best possible performance, knowing the technical side is in expert hands.
5. Costumes and Styling
If your video is a high-fashion statement or a casual, down-home vibe, your wardrobe helps tell the story behind the music. Ivy Hall’s versatile interiors complement a wide range of styles—dress the set with your own décor, or use the estate’s inherent charm for a classic, timeless feel.
