Haarlem Studios joins Sony for flexible video production

Haarlem Studios in the Netherlands has collaborated with Sony to deliver flexible, high-quality video production tailored to the evolving needs of modern content creators. With Sony cameras at the core of its operations, the Dutch video production studio is able to adapt quickly to varied aesthetic demands and diverse shooting environments, while maintaining cinema-quality results.

The studio’s camera lineup includes the Sony FX2, FX3 and FX30. This trio of cameras ensures that Haarlem Studios can cater to almost every type of production. The studio’s modular design now also allows the space to be rapidly reconfigured for podcasts, unboxings, interviews, explainer videos, fashion shoots and television productions.

Built for flexibility, the studio is equipped with a wide range of backdrops, rugs and lighting arrangements alongside the Sony cameras. With multiple background rolls available, the look and feel of a shoot can be transformed within minutes, enabling the efficient use of studio time.

Sjoerd Wess, content creator and joint owner of Haarlem Studios, says the studio was designed to feel creative and inviting while prioritising quality and affordability. “We do things differently, making our clients comfortable and delivering fantastic quality, while at the same time charging significantly less.” This approach has helped the studio grow organically, with no need for advertising or social media promotion.

Sony cameras play a central role in Haarlem Studios’ workflow. After experimenting with several camera brands, Wess naturally gravitated towards Sony following extensive experience using the FX6 and FX9 on larger productions.

Sony’s colour science and sensor quality enable Haarlem Studios to deliver footage that fits smoothly into post-production while also staying strong straight out of the camera. With this technology, recording in at least 10-bit 4:2:2 and often at lower bitrates still provides high image quality, with reduced storage needs and faster transfers for clients. Additionally, Haarlem Studios benefits from Sony’s ever-expanding lens ecosystem, which includes both zooms and primes suitable for virtually any type of project.

Echoing Sony’s work with Norwich University of the Arts’ virtual studio, Haarlem Studios now demonstrates the same focus on adaptable, high-quality production.
