Everything you need to know about recording at Santa Barbara StoryLab.
Santa Barbara-area nonprofits and fiscal sponsors who need repeatable video storytelling. If your organization has stories to tell — about your mission, your programs, your people, or your impact — this studio is designed for you.
Not required. A simple interview format works well — one person asking questions, another answering. Many organizations find that a conversation between two staff members or a staff member and a community member feels natural and authentic. If you'd like guidance on facilitation, we can help during prep.
We provide a basic outline template with suggested questions and structure. You know your story best — we just help you organize it. Question development can be added as a service if desired.
Yes. We can add your logo on screen in post-production, create a branded intro and outro, or accommodate set dressing if appropriate. The default studio setup is intentionally neutral so your people are the focus.
For launch: join our early access list and we'll reach out when scheduling opens. After launch, we'll publish typical lead times and availability. We recommend booking at least two weeks in advance for standard sessions.
Absolutely. Our Campaign Pack is designed specifically for this. You'll get a full episode plus 12 short clips and 1–2 campaign-specific videos (30–90 seconds) built from your session — ideal for social media, email, and landing pages.
We deliver your files in standard formats ready to upload. We don't publish on your behalf, but we can provide a publishing checklist with recommended platforms, descriptions, and tagging. Full publishing support may be offered as an add-on in the future.
