Coached live every week until the camera stops feeling like a test.
03
"One video eats my whole day."
WHAT WE DO ABOUT IT
03
Script on the prompter, one take, published before lunch.
04
"My setup looks small-time."
WHAT WE DO ABOUT IT

Broadcast camera and lighting. Clients ask if you're in a studio.
05
"Doing it properly needs a crew."
WHAT WE DO ABOUT IT

The crew is built into the desk.

The Desktop Studio

A professional video studio, installed on your desk.

You stop putting it off
Nothing to book, nothing to set up, nothing to blame. The reason it did not happen last week is gone.
You stop wondering how you look
How you look was settled on install day. It is not a decision you make each time.
Every call, not just the videos
It is your Zoom and Teams camera as well, so the pitch, the update and the review all land the same way.
You say the hard thing properly
Your script sits in front of the lens, so the technical answer comes out right without being memorised.
Get better, not just better equipped
Six months of weekly coaching, so the studio is still being used in month five.

See it working

Two minutes inside a working Desktop Studio.

The install, the one-button start, and what the other end of a Zoom call actually sees. No slides, no voiceover, just the room.

No video crew.
No studio hire.
No new office.

Same desk. Different company.

Client work

Their videos, not ours.

Eleven clients publishing their own work, from commercial law to healthcare.

Chris Schwager, founder of Ridge Films

Great work isn't enough. I learned that the hard way.

I spent a decade being good at what I do, and almost nobody knew I existed. Then in 2019 I moved my sales calls to Zoom and saw what my clients saw: bad webcam, flat sound, a printer humming behind me. So I fixed a proper studio to my desk. That is what we install for you now.

SEE HOW THE STUDIO WORKS

What people want to know before they book.

The full knowledge base →

Will it fit in a small office?

It clamps onto the desk you already work at and takes no floor space. Around 3 x 3 metres is comfortable, and we have installed into rooms 1.2 metres wide. Choosing the room

I'm not in Sydney. Who installs it?

A video technician, at your desk. Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide are routine, and there is no site visit to arrange first: we check the room from your photos and measurements, then send a video report back for you to approve before the studio is built. What install involves

What if I freeze the second it's on?

Send us the take. It goes over on WhatsApp and comes back as a voice note telling you what to change, so a shaky first attempt gets fixed rather than quietly putting you off video for a month. Support between sessions

Can other people in the business use it?

Yes. On a sit-stand desk the next person changes their framing by raising the desk, without touching the camera or the lights. Teams usually train one person to run it, so everyone else walks in, talks and walks out. Rolling it out across a team

What can I add once I'm up and running?

A second camera and switcher, the PodcasterPro microphone setup, backdrop sets. The system is modular, so an upgrade adds to the studio you already own. The standard build already covers solo video, webinars and calls. Adding to it later

Who looks after it once it's in?

We do. Twelve months of warranty from install, and after that it stays serviceable: parts are modular, so a component gets replaced rather than the studio rebuilt. It is expected to run 10 to 15 years. Warranty and servicing

Stop watching your competitors get ahead. Start showing up.

Every week you wait, a less capable competitor wins the clients who should be yours. It takes one walkthrough with Chris to start closing that gap for good.
