About the 2nd Floor Studio
The 2nd Floor studio is Bucknell's version of the One-Button Studio, where you can easily record your video and audio in a small optimized studio space with just a flash drive.
Located inside the East Reading Room of the 2nd Floor of Bertrand Library, you can make a reservation from the QR code outside the door, or make a reservation online in advance.

THINGS TO REMEMBER
Reserve the Studio and key from the Equipment Checkout form online.
Bring a USB Drive, preformatted for FAT32* and larger than 4GB.*- see Tech Desk for more information.
Insert USB Drive into kiosk. A/V components will turn on within 10-15 seconds.
Press the button with the red dot to begin recording.
Choose between the regular backdrop or turn on the light ring for a chroma key* effect. (*chroma = green / blue screen) (Toggle the silver knob on the box above the black control cabinet)
If you are a shorter individual, position yourself closer to the camera, and if you are taller move further away.
Wear solid colored clothing and avoid wearing green or white if using the chroma key.
Wait for the tiny blinking green light below the “mark” button to stop flashing BEFORE you remove your USB drive.
