Square 1 Studio is a full-service video and audio production studio in Marin County, California made to help you share the stories, wisdom, memories, and messages of your life, family, and company. For thousands of years when people had a story or idea that was important to them, that they wanted to preserve and share, they carved it into a stone tablet, or wrote it on papyrus. But today, SQ1 is able to capture you in beautiful 4k video resolution, perfectly lit by professional lighting, and heard in broadcast quality sound at our studio. We are set up and ready for you at a moment’s notice.

We have built a sacred place for you to bring your projects to life, a stage to elevate you with, a writers’ room for your creative team, an audience area for your emotional support crew, and the best audio and video equipment. We’re ready to host, broadcast, record, and edit your live event, interview, lecture, workshop, video course, family memory, presentation, podcast, web show, audiobook, and storytelling– you name it. Did you just feel a creative tug on your sleeve, an inspired longing on your heart? Give us a call or schedule a studio visit and consultation.

A live event is an audio or video project that is shared with the audience in real-time as you perform, a video recording can be made to be saved and viewed later as well. One example might be, an event to promote your book, with questions from a live audience. In fact, we have helped the books themselves get written through transcribed live interviews and editing.

A video project is any project that is recorded and saved to be watched and heard, and available to watch at the convenience of the viewer. For example, you might write and record a workshop that your audience or customers can watch when they purchase it from you.

An audio project is any project that is meant to be listened to only, for example, a podcast or audiobook.

Reese Zecchin, my best friend and I built a studio in a small shed in our backyard to produce our own show, Apple’s 2018 New and Noteworthy, How To Human, a top-200 podcast. More and more people started asking to use our equipment. We did a live interview with Tim Ferriss, a segment for the Today Show, and events for the Omega Institute and City Arts & Lectures, all from a 10x10 shed. We realized we were going to need a much bigger and more professional space, which is exactly what we have created.

It all starts with an idea of what you’re trying to capture, a video for a memorial service or a masterclass on your field of expertise. We are here to help you bring your project to life from planning to production, with as much or as little creative input as suits you. A few great questions to start with are: What am I trying to communicate and capture? What do I want the audience to get from this project? What is the mood of what I’m communicating? How do I want the program to look and sound and feel?

Then give us a call, send us an email, or schedule a visit to our studio. You’ll love it here in person; everyone does.
