Studio 2 is a medium-sized studio suitable for many types of productions and events. It is a fully self-contained culinary studio with a camera-ready full kitchen with yet another distinct look, and a kitchenette farther from set to support clients and crew. The kitchen is fully stocked, pots, pans, utensils, dinnerware, gasses, and anything else you typically find in a kitchen, so it can function as a prep kitchen, support kitchen, or kitchen set.
It has its own 10x10 straight truck-level loading dock and a direct, accessible entrance off a small parking lot off Advance Rd. Perfect for Uber or transit, right by a standard and an accessible-pending washroom.
Direct entrance to Studio 2 is from the back lot through the patio gate. Connected through a normal door to Studio 1, it’s designed to compliment Studio, either being used for smaller productions on its own or as support space for Studio 1.
A popular solution for larger productions is using the Studio 1 hero kitchen only as the set, while the food stylist uses the blue kitchen, and then Studio 2 is used for craft and support space for craft, lunch, talent holding, prep space, additional equipment storage, DIT, etc.
During mild weather, the patio can be a great area for those wanting a change of scene, smoke break, bright light, a private meeting, having a snack at the picnic table, or using the BBQ. The patio serves as also a more secure staging area for loading lower vehicles, such as cubes, vans, SUV’s. Finally, the patio has been used as a backyard setting, whether behind the fence dressed with greens (our friend has thousands of sf. of film and event greens just down the street) or our 20’ x 30’ bluescreen rigged behind the fence on Mombo’s for compositing anything needed and more lighting control.
Studio 2 will feature specialty sets and backgrounds, including a 32’ wide x 14.6’ high x 15’ deep white cyc with a lighting grid, that can easily be switched to our 17’ x 36’ chroma green, 20’ x 30’ chroma blue, or 30’ x 20’ black rags with removable black, white, and pending chroma blue and chroma green dance flooring.
Studio 2 will also feature a fabric black box option, a full-size plexi sweep table, a 12’ white drywall camera-ready wall, and a tabletop shallow clear plexi tank for pours and splashes. The 10’ huge camera stand makes shoots and any height or overhead quick and easy.
