Course production studio · Nyack, NY

Alvora

Fixed-fee online courses — mapped on index cards, filmed under warm light, uploaded to your LMS.

Picture the hush just before the red light: a lavalier cool against your collar, a key light the colour of late-afternoon honey, your best explanation finally given room to breathe. We take what you know and turn it into a course that sounds, looks and clicks the way you always meant it to.

Fixed fees from $2,380 · Studio visits by appointment

02How a course gets made

The route from your head to their screen

Index cards, studio light, the soft tick of a quiz answer landing. Four rooms, one producer walking you through each, and a finished course waiting at the end of the hall.

Room one · Weeks 1–2

Mapping

We spread your knowledge across a long table of index cards — the lecture you could give half asleep — and shuffle until every lesson has one clear promise, one clear picture, and a quiet place to breathe. Out comes a curriculum map and scripts written for the ear, not the page.

Room two · Week 3

Recording

One studio day. Warm key light, a soft fill, the faint presence of a lavalier at your collar. We direct, you talk the way you do at the whiteboard, and retakes stay cheap and cheerful. Lunch is on the table by one.

Room three · Weeks 4–5

Editing & quizzes

Breaths trimmed, ums lifted away, captions burned in, lower-thirds sliding in with your colours. Then the quizzes: short, tactile, with feedback that sounds like you rather than like a form.

Room four · Week 6

LMS upload

Modules named, videos tucked in, quizzes wired, settings walked through in a test-learner account — on Teachable, Thinkific, Kajabi, Moodle or Canvas. We hand over the keys and a clean checklist, and the first student clicks play.

Bring us the lecture you could give in your sleep. We’ll give it a spine.

Before your studio day

What to bring on recording day

Come with a glass of water, a plain shirt in a colour that isn’t your wall, and the notes you swear you won’t need. Everything else, we’ve already warmed up.

  • A solid-colour top — stripes shimmer on camera
  • Room-temperature water — cold makes lips click
  • Slides and props, charged and logged out
  • A second shirt, for the retake that runs long

Pick a day. We’ll warm the lights.

Studio is open by appointment only

The long road, or the lit one

Plan A

Alone, after dinner

  • A laptop webcam and the hum of the fridge
  • Slides re-recorded at 11 p.m. because the dog barked
  • A quiz tool you learn the week you need it
  • An upload error your first student finds for you

Free, mostly. Priced in weekends.

Plan B

Hand it to Alvora

Tell us what you teach and who sits in the front row. We reply within one working day with a time for a mapping call and a fixed quote.

Questions people ask before they book

What should I prepare before the first call?

Just the topic and who it’s for. Notes on a napkin, a slide deck from your last workshop, a voice memo recorded in the car — all welcome. We build the map from whatever you have.

Do I have to be on camera the whole time?

No. We choose the format lesson by lesson — talking head, screen capture, or your hands over a whiteboard. You decide how much of your face the course wears.

Who owns the finished course?

You do. Raw footage, project files and quiz banks transfer to you with the final payment.

What if the edit isn’t quite right?

Every build includes two revision rounds. If you want a third, it’s $145 a round — we’ll say so before we start it.
