Parking options

Free street parking

Parking description

There is free street parking around the building and surrounding neighborhood

Space has natural light

Natural light can be blocked out

Lighting description

there are 2, 2ft x 4ft windows along the back wall. They can be easily blocked out by a variety of items in the studio. Brightest time of day in the studio 12 pm in the winter and 3 pm in the summer.

Space is not soundproof

Ambient noise description

Walls are pretty thin if we're being honest, but the street noise is zero at most times.

Crew access

Elevator, Stairs, Freight Elevator

Equipment loading description

The main elevator is actually larger than the freight but if you feel like moving half a ton of equipment into the studio then I'll show you where the freight is. The front door is an elevator so if you have things to roll in no worries you don't have to go up a set of stairs. Loading trucks can be backed up towards the elevator too. It is an art building so any art based stuff was thought about in the design.

No staging area available

Some rooms are off-limits for shooting

Yeah you can shoot in any part of the entire building including the roof and if you ask nicely the neighbors will help but the only place you cant touch is my desk. It's the first thing you see walking in so just know that's the "no-no" zone.

Shooting the exterior of the building is allowed

Electrical system description

Power has never been an issue in space. I've run multiple high voltage sets at once for a shoot many times over and the landlord never emailed me so that's a good sign. ( For those who don't have a sense of humor, the short answer is I haven't hit a danger point yet and you likely won't either). As far as I know, there are a total of 16 outlets in the studio plus 1 that kinda chills on its own. I also have a supply strip and a few extenders so if you need to plug in more than 16 things at once and test if the building is up to date on their electrical safety guidelines I got you! The breaker is controlled by the floor manager.

Circuit breaker can not be accessed

General Rules

*Recognition of Covid-19 Standard Norms. *Put all things back where it was found and how it was found as best as possible. *If you break it you buy it, so be careful!

All ages are allowed in the space

Production insurance is not required

Furniture and decorations may be moved

Yeah, feel free to move anything you want or even clear the entire room of everything in it. But remember rule # (whatever number it is) put things back where you found them and turn off the strobe when you're done. If you do a crazy amount of work for the shot I understand I've done the extreme to the studio for a good shot but put things back how you found them at the end of your booking.
