Bright, Cyc Wall Studio in DTLA

Free street parking, Nearby parking lot

Paid parking lots and free street parking surround the building.

We have West facing windows so the most beautiful light comes into the space after 12:00pm. This light can be blacked out with some of the excess v-flats in the unit.

The unit is not fully soundproofed and the window faces a street, so if there is sound outside, it can be heard inside the unit. It is more often quiet, than not, though. If you would like a site manager to be present during your shoot to help maintain a quieter space for something you are filming, please inquire about those services with us!

Stairs, Elevator, Freight Elevator

Equipment can be loaded into the building through the front door or through the loading bays if you have coordinated load in time with a site manager.

Dressing Room

Storage room

The circuit breaker is located near the door to the unit. Power must be divided between walls if you are using high wattage EQ. Please consult with a site manager if you have any questions regarding our electrical system!

• OVERTIME • Overtime will be billed in half-hour increments at a rate of 1.5x the hourly rate of the space; this includes any time spent before or after your confirmed booking. We do not accommodate free time for setting up and tearing down and there is no "grace period" for this, so that time needs to be included in your reservation. At the end of your reservation, you must remove all belongings and items that you brought into the space and leave the property to avoid this overage charge. If your overtime conflicts with the next reservation, you will be billed at 2.5x the hourly rate as a result of this negligence. • GENERAL • -We are a turnkey studio, so a site rep or studio associate is not booked to help with on-site assistance unless one is hired through our add-on section. -Furniture and amenities may be moved around within the unit, but they cannot be removed from the building, and they must be put back in their original place to avoid additional fees of $100. -Damages to anything in the unit will be billed at as an additional, variable charge based on the cost of repairs. -No cooking, whether that be frying, grilling, or open flame cooking, is allowed inside or outside of the building, or you will receive an additional charge of $500. -There is NO smoking(including marijuana) allowed in the front of or inside the building and unit, or you will receive an additional charge of $500. -Consumption of alcohol is allowed ONLY when you book the space with the "Alcohol Corkage Fee" add-on. Without this, you will be charged $500 for the violation. Underage drinking is strictly prohibited. -Pets are ONLY allowed with a "Pet fee" add-on. Without this add-on or authorization from the host, you will be charged a $65 pet fee+ additional $150 penalty. -No glitter or confetti, dry color, oil, liquid, chalk, dirt, soil, sand, rocks, or similar materials can be used, or you will be charged an additional deep cleaning fee of $500. • CYC WALL RULES • - If requested or needed, a cyc wall repainting costs $60. - Don’t step on the curved part of the wall, as it can be easily broken. - Don’t drag furniture, stands, tripods, or other heavy equipment across the cyc wall area. Instead, lift and carry them over to prevent damage or scratches to the cyc wall. You can book a studio manager, using our add-ons, for help if needed. - Don’t use, bring, or drag sharp objects onto the cyc wall or you will be charged a cyc wall restoration fee for damages they make on the wall. - Do not eat or drink near the cyc wall to avoid food stains; you will be charged a cyc wall restoration fee for removing food or beverage stains or damage, based on the cost of the repair. - Do not put your feet on or lean against the vertical wall or the curved part of the wall. If you do this, you will be charged a $60 repainting fee for repainting the vertical wall [not the floor.] Additionally, if damages are done to the vertical wall, you will be charged for the cost of repairing any damages made to the wall or curve, along with the repainting fee. - Don’t skate or ride in any way on the curved cyc wall corner, or you will be charged for repainting and repairs. - Any structural damage to the cyc wall will result in a cyc wall restoration fee based on the repair cost. - Do not use paint, confetti, glitter, dry color, oil, liquid, chalk, dirt, soil, sand, rocks, or similar materials on the wall and the floor. All these materials stick to surfaces easily and are very difficult to clean. We will charge $500 for the deep cleaning fee + $60 Cyc repaint fee for any guest who violates this rule. It’s important to pre-plan your shoot because if you photograph someone covered in oil for one shot, you will have to clean both the model and the cyc wall for the second shot. - For guests who intentionally disrespect the space and Cyc wall, we will charge a $500 deep cleaning fee + $60 Cyc repaint fee. • TO KEEP THE CYC WALL FLOOR AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE • - Avoid walking on the cyc wall before the shoot; otherwise, you will get it dirty before your project even begins shooting or filming. - Before you step on the cyc wall, clean your shoes’ soles or try taping them. You can either wash and dry the soles beforehand or tape the soles. (We also recommend bringing your own Clorox wipes or gaff tape for this.) The best option is to have a separate pair of clean shoes for only walking on a cyclorama or bring shoe covers for your crew. - Prepare your model or actor’s shoes by ensuring the soles are clean/taped and leave them on the cyclorama. (We recommend bringing your own Clorox wipes or gaff tape for this, too.) It is best to have a separate pair of shoes for your subject to wear while they are not walking on the cyc wall. - Only allow the model to walk on the cyc wall with their clean shoes to prevent footprints as much as possible; you will not be happy editing all the footprints later. If they need a hair/makeup/styling touch-up, we suggest having them meet the crew member at the edge of the floor to help the foundation stay clean. - Don’t forget that bare feet can even leave marks on the cyc wall floor, too! - If you have the option to bring sticky mats, that does a great job of helping keep your model’s shoes clean. Try tapping the soles of your shoes on a sticky mat until you get rid of all dirt from the soles. You can also test this by stepping on the edge of the cyclorama. If your shoes don’t leave marks – you might be good to go. Otherwise, try tapping on them more. • SEAMLESS BACKDROP PAPER RENTAL • Backdrops are not complimentary and must be added onto your reservation at least 48 hours prior to your shoot date using the add-on feature. We can rent 1-3 rolls to each guest and color availability is based on what we have in stock. For multi-day shoots, please make sure to add the paper rental for each day that you would like this add-on included. Backdrop rentals initially include 4 feet of paper that a guest may step on or damage. Each additional foot after this will be billed at $5 per damaged foot. Any guest who uses or damages the roll from start to finish will be billed for the entire cost ($80 per roll) of the roll. Any guest who attempts to violate this will be billed for the expense of replacing any rolls they attempt to use ($80 per roll) without a backdrop rental add-on. • RESCHEDULING • If you need to shorten the length of your reservation, this must be done within the first 24 hours of your booking confirmation for us to accommodate this change. If you need to reschedule your project at least 7 days in advance and have only booked one day in the studio, we are happy to accommodate a complimentary adjustment to your reservation. If you need to reschedule within 7-2 days of your booking date and only reserved one day in the studio, you will need to pay our “Rescheduling Fee” (weekdays and weekends have different rescheduling fees) that is shown in our studio add-on’s. We cannot accommodate reservation date or time changes the day before your booking. If you have reserved the studio for a multitude of days and need to reschedule, please send us a message to coordinate, as you may have to pay one rescheduling fee for every day that you need to adjust. • QUIET ENJOYMENT • In order for us to be able to provide a wonderful space for everyone to use, it is important that the other tenants in this building are respected through their legal right to quiet enjoyment within the building. This means that absolutely NO loud music with bass that could shake the building, no live bands, and no sound or DJ equipment may be brought into the space to be used. Bluetooth speakers that fit on a table top are permitted if the music playing from them is at a reasonable level. Additionally, if we receive a complaint about loud noise from one of the commercial or residential tenants, the sound must get quiet or your booking will have to end. • INSURANCE • Depending on the scale and aspects of your project and the size of the crew, it is up to our discretion to determine whether or not it is necessary to provide proof of insurance. Proof of insurance is mandatory for all union projects within the space, as well as for equipment rentals. We are not liable for any loss or injury to yourself, your guests, or your property while in the space. By agreeing to our space rules, you confirm that as the renter, it is your responsibility to maintain the safety of everything and everyone while inside the unit. • CLEANING • We have a mandatory cleaning fee that is added to every reservation to accommodate a cleaner to sanitize the unit in between bookings, although guests must leave the space exactly how they found it, which includes taking out your trash and recycling and putting the amenities back where you found them.

Additionally, absolutely no gaffer's tape, duct tape, or gorilla tape is allowed to be used on any surfaces in the space and painter's tape is required for taping down backdrop paper. Failure to leave the space in the condition you found it in may result in an additional deep cleaning fee $500 • CHECK OUT • Pick up any dropped, left out, or left behind items that you may have brought into the space. This includes water bottles, clothing tags, hangers, tape on the floor, etc. Then put your trash and recycling to one of the trash rooms in the hallway when you are finished.
