L'Oréal

When L’Oréal reached out to Dragon Studio Solutions, their vision was clear: transform a standard office space into a multi-functional production studio capable of delivering professional-grade content for training, social media, product demos, and livestreaming. But like most commercial spaces, it wasn’t ready for high-end video or sound work out of the box.

The ceiling was cluttered with exposed ducts and vents, and the lighting was basic retail-grade — far from ideal for beauty content. Backgrounds were ad hoc, and sound reverberation was a constant issue.

The Solution

We worked closely with the L’Oréal team across multiple planning sessions, balancing creative ambition with real-world functionality and budget. The final studio featured:

🎥 Lighting & Rigging

• LightPro StudioLine 2000XL Bi-Colour Soflite & 720XL Bicolor LED: Robust key and fill lights that bring skin tones and hair texture to life.

• LightPro Shark 7000SL and 1200 Bi-Colour LEDs: High-output units for background or beauty-focused lighting.

• Dual ceiling track with 4 pantographs: Allowing lights to be repositioned easily without cluttering the floor.

🎙️ Sound & Acoustic Treatment

• Full acoustic ceiling and door treatment for echo reduction.

• LightPro acoustic wall panels, custom-fitted around ducting and vent work (see before photos for reference).

🖼️ Background & Styling

• Triple background roller system for seamless velvet: white, black, and chroma green.

• Grid reflectors and quick-fold softboxes for styling flexibility.

• Prompt-it Flex iPad teleprompter + RØDE Wireless Pro mics: Ideal for guided shoots and interviews.

From Planning to Execution

“From the start, Angelo and the Dragon team just got it,” said a L’Oréal team member during the install. “They understood the L’Oréal aesthetic, but more importantly, they helped us understand the why behind every element — light quality, camera positioning, acoustics, all of it.”

Installation involved careful negotiation with base building constraints, including vent routing, ceiling anchors, and lighting zones. We engineered around exposed air-conditioning ducts by building a sound-insulated bulkhead and customizing our acoustic paneling.

Training & Handover

Post-installation, we ran an extensive on-site lighting and camera training workshop for the L’Oréal content and education teams. This hands-on approach ensured every staff member could confidently use the space — whether shooting with an iPhone or a mirrorless camera setup.
