Online Course Filming Studio in Madrid

A real stage for filming training, not an office with a lamp. At The Black Cactus Studios you have 300 m² in Leganés, with an infinity background, controlled light and room for a teleprompter and a confidence monitor, twenty-five minutes from the centre of Madrid and outside the low-emission zone.

A background that holds up over forty lessons in a row

An online course is not won on one take: it is won on all of them looking consistent. If every lesson is shot somewhere else, with different light and a different background, the student notices even without knowing why. Here the white cyclorama, 8 × 7.5 m gives a seamless infinity background, and the light is built once and stays the same all day. The footage cuts together without fighting the colour.

If your brand calls for another tone, the motorised 6 × 6 m truss with RGB LED panels tints the cyclorama whatever colour you want, with no painting and no sets. And if you prefer something more enclosed and serious, the separate black cyclorama gives that contrast without moving.

Recording a lot of short pieces in a single day

The maths of an online course is simple: the more lessons fit into a day, the cheaper each video works out. So what matters is not just the stage, but everything that stops you losing time.

• Clear floor and 300 m² so the set and the control area can both stay built.
• Dressing room with bathroom and shower for wardrobe changes between modules.
• Production office with wifi, a television and coffee for going over scripts between takes.
• Heating and air conditioning, which on an eight-hour day you appreciate more than anything else.
• Parking and drive-in access to unload gear without carrying it along the street.

Green screen for a shared screen

If your training needs to show software, graphics or slides behind the presenter, the black cyclorama can be painted chroma green. We leave it ready before the shoot. The detail is on the page about the green screen stage.

For training that also goes out live, the studio is set up for streaming and live shows on a stable connection.

Frequently asked questions

Can I record several lessons on the same day?

Yes, and it is the normal thing. With the light built and the background fixed you chain recordings without relighting between one and the next, which is exactly where the time goes in a house or an office.

Do you have a green screen?

The black cyclorama can be painted chroma green, or whatever colour your course needs. Tell us when you book so it is ready on the day of the shoot.

Is there room for a teleprompter and a reference monitor?

Yes. It is 300 m² of open floor with nothing in the way, so a teleprompter, a confidence monitor and a control table all fit without getting into frame.

Is the sound clean?

It is an open-plan industrial building, insulated from street and traffic noise. It is not a radio booth: for clean voice you work with a close or lavalier microphone, as on any professional recording.

What does the price include?

The space, the electricity and the use of the facilities: dressing room, production office, wifi and parking. Lighting, technical equipment and crew are quoted separately. The studio’s equipment is booked together with the stage and does not leave here.
