Studio A — the large set: a 40-ft cyc wall, full lighting grid, total light control (blackout or natural window light), changing room, kitchenette, and 1 GB internet. Studio B — the focused room: motorized paper backdrops in multiple colors, professional lighting on rolling stands, a private changing room, and the same amenities. Both rooms shoot video and photo, by the hour, half day, or full day.

Studio A includes all Amaran RGB background lights and one Amaran 600W RGB key light, on a full lighting grid with C-stands — plus total light control, so you can black the room out or shape natural window light. Studio B includes professional lighting on rolling stands, sized for one subject or a product table. Every light is yours for the duration of the booking at no extra charge.
