Blackout Warehouse Studio

Free onsite parking, Free street parking, Nearby parking lot

We have a 4000sq/ft fenced yard, free street parking, and a 150 spot parking lot adjacent to the building.

The warehouse is an isolated black-out space. There are no windows and very little natural light can seep its way in. What little light-bleed is possible can be easily mitigated.

It's a large open warehouse so reverb is an issue as well as nearby traffic. Lavalier's work pretty well but again, large open hard-walled warehouse. Sound treatment coming 2023.

Ground Floor

Three roll up doors lead to wide double-doors for ease of access. Small-mid-sized vehicles can be rolled in from the Warehouse B side. Entrances lead in from Warehouse C, Warehouse B, and the lobby.

You will need to add one of the conference rooms available on our profile. The lobby and break room cannot be permanently occupied unless separate booking arrangements are made.

The lobby and break room cannot be permanently occupied unless separate booking arrangements are made. All spaces not booked are off-limits.

We have 270 amps available and plenty of ceiling mounted plugs but power must be run to the blackout warehouse from the adjacent rooms for floor use.

1. Facility Care We want you to feel safe and comfortable in our studio spaces and we encourage freedom of expression in all its forms. That said, we also expect you and your group to respect and treat the facility with care. All areas should be left the way you found them, clean and ready for the next use (if the facility was not prepared for you, please contact your booking agent immediately). Please put back any items used, replace furniture or set pieces to their original location, sweep the studio floor and vacuum any carpeted areas if applicable. Empty all trash in the dumpsters to the front or rear of the building. Excessive cleaning will result in a fee assessment. Unauthorized tampering with security cameras in any way will result in a "camera review and recalibration fee" of at least $100 and may include additional consequences including the early termination of the booking. 2. Studio Property Studio Property cannot be borrowed for any length of time at the studio or otherwise without permission. Studio property that is noted as ‘rentable’ may only be rented and/or used if written or verbal authorization is obtained prior to use. Double check that you have obtained permission from an authorized representative before use. 3. Conference Rooms If booked, the conference rooms can be used for many purposes. If you need help with the monitor or other electronics, please ask. The dry erase boards will typically be erased daily unless otherwise requested. In the event of a spill or other accident, please inform the studio manager immediately so the situation can be assessed/addressed, or you may be assessed additional cleaning or damage fees. 4. Green Room/Lounge Areas (if applicable) The lounges come equipped with a 4k TV and full access to the break room area. The TV can be tethered to a camera on the shooting floor using HDMI or Ethernet. Ask the studio manager about direct connections. Please ask staff for assistance with any of the devices or appliances. 5. Sound Stage/Cycloramas The sound stages are our primary event, film, and photography shooting spaces and contain the cycloramas. If you have not booked access to them, please refrain from entering the areas without permission. The Cyclorama curves can be easily damaged. Any damage to the cycloramas will result in a damage assessment. If the cycloramas must be repainted after your use fees will be assessed based on the studio/stage in use. If you would like your cyclorama painted a custom color the fee is a minimum of $1500 in labor + paint cost. 6. Equipment If you need assistance with any equipment, please inform your agent or the studio manager. You are responsible for your use of our equipment, and we cannot be held liable for any damages or loss resulting from your use, accidental or otherwise.
