It contains not only all his editing equipment but also a viewing area seating very comfortably in upholstered chairs, in excess of a dozen people. He is able to project his finished videos onto a large screen. Walter Smith, President of Largs Videomakers' Club, cut the banner at the entrance to mark the official opening of the studio.
