White Cyc Studio Recommendations in NYC

[Michael Totten]

I'm shooting a proof of concept spot in NYC this Sunday (April 7th) & am looking for a studio with a white cyc.

Production currently has a still photo studio on hold which I can make work but because we've got a lot to cover I'm hoping to save time by finding a "pre-lit" cyc or at least a studio with an overhead grid we could plug into.

We will be recording sound, so it should either be a proper sound studio or quiet enough that we could make it work.

The concept and visuals are vary basic (high key white limbo - similar to Apple commercials) full body shot with 1 or 2 actors so it doesn't have to be a giant cyc... just big enough for to allow for a full body shot on two actors, grip and lighting (equivalent to a 3 ton package) and 8 crew members to move around safely

Because it's proof of concept it's fairly low budget - production can pay between 500-750$ give or take.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance.

It's a bit more costly, but try Parlay Studios in Jersey City. They're amazing over there. Ask for Adam. I'm shooting there Monday myself.

Bravo Studios:

Ask for Tim.

They get booked up in advance, so Sunday may be difficult to schedule. Very nice space, great customer service.


Also try Windmill in Williamsburg:

Ask for Martin.

Very large studios, very friendly service. Have working relationship with Elefant, that drops off and picks up your custom lighting/grip order.
