Yes, I would book again.

Awesome space and overall experience. It’s larger than the photo appears. Able to shoot full height across the width with a 85 mm. Lovely light in the mid day to early afternoon. Jim was helpful meeting me outside by the loading dock. Nice big dolly and freight elevator to move stuff in and out.

Well equipped studio with outstanding skyline view. Really enjoyed having the audio setup, kitchen, furniture, space, cargo elevator. We filmed some documentary videos here, and as noted, sound is a challenge, and we lost some time with the train crossings, so please do be mindful of expectations and budget in some time for noise interruptions when booking.

Jim was amazing in communication and doing the extra little things to make the experience go smoothly (including lugging a heavy pelican case up 4 flights of stairs because the freight elevator wasn't working.) If anything it's a little difficult to do this space justice in photos. Does this space have disco balls and plants? No. You're probably looking for a different type of studio (and lighting situation) if that's what sells you. But if you value tall ceilings, a large open space, and included light stands/grip it's hard to beat. Definitely leave your light stands at home, the studio includes a large number of c-stands, a couple of combo stands, boom arms, sand bags, clamps, v-flats... I'm sure there are a few other things. One thing you might want to bring is a baby-pin for a grip head if you're using a boom arm. Also, having a large bathroom in the studio made changes a better experience than most other studios.

I had a great experience with Jim And the Urban Loft. I was running late because I took the wrong exit and he was nice enough to wait for me and let me in the building! Thanks Jim — I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a place to create.
