Skip the loft.
A purpose-built green-screen chamber in Sunset Park — painted in chroma green, sealed with a matching muslin curtain, pre-rigged for keys that drop in post. Book by the hour, the half-day, or the full day. Walk in with a script and a cast; walk out with footage that composites clean.

Built for the shoot, not the showcase.
Most rooms in New York are loft conversions with one outlet, no chroma surface, and a landlord who'd rather you didn't shoot at all. The Stage is a real shoot room — purpose-built, properly powered, and bookable by the hour.
Pre-rigged.
Ceiling track lighting, three Nanlite bi-color LEDs, and two C-stands ready on the floor. Most days you can be lit and rolling in 20 minutes.
Sound-controlled.
Treated walls, baffled ceiling, and a quiet HVAC the operator can knock down to whisper. We spec'd it to take dialogue takes without ADR — and yes, you can flip on a fan when you need atmosphere.
Crew-aware.
Loading dock at street level, a freight elevator that takes a hand truck, video village in the green room next door, and a craft area with coffee that doesn't taste like the drip's been on since 9 AM.
The Stage
From walk-in to wrap.
The Stage is a chroma-green chamber, with a white anteroom for crew, talent, and video village. Tour the floor to walk the path your crew will take.

What gets shot here.
A working snapshot of the calendar — the kind of day-of, week-of work the room handles best.

DTC product video
Founder + product on a clean green key. Shoot 30-second hero plus 6 cutdowns in one day, drop the chamber in post. Most-booked use.

Music videos
Indie & label. Swap to a color roll, run the truss for haze + colored gels, wrap by midnight.
03 · Fashion
Lookbook + e-com
Brand teams shoot 200+ SKUs across two days. Studio + green room as rotating dressing space.
04 · Talent
Reels & auditions
Casting tape days, agency reels, talent self-tapes. Bring your camera; a half-day covers it.
A production day
From pre-light to wrap.
A typical full-day with a 5-person crew and 2 talent — built from the last twelve months of bookings. Your day will read different; the building runs the same.
7:30 AM
Loading dock unblock
Front desk meets your AD at the loading dock. Truck pulls in, hand-truck unload up the freight, no tarps in the lobby.
8:00 AM
Pre-light + camera build
DP + gaffer drop the rigged truss, swap in the looks for first setup. Camera op builds. Front desk PA on standby for water + power runs.
9:30 AM
Talent arrival + green room
Talent checks in at front desk, escorted to green room. Wardrobe rack, mirror, full-length, makeup-friendly lighting. Your makeup artist is already set.
10:30 AM
First setup rolling
Lights are hot. Audio is on. Director calls action. The room is built to take dialogue; HVAC is whispered off for takes.
1:00 PM
Lunch · catering arrives
Front desk receives + sets craft in the lounge. Crew eats off-stage, talent eats in the green room. 45 minutes, then back.
2:00 PM
Setup change · chamber relight
Truss tracks to new positions. Gel swap. 30 minutes, max. The grid was rigged so the second setup doesn't take an afternoon.
5:30 PM
Cooldown + wrap
Last takes wrap. Crew breaks down. Chamber gets walked for chroma scuffs — front desk touches up between bookings if needed. End-of-day card runs and the receipt emails before the truck leaves.
6:30 PM
Out the door
Loading dock again, freight again, truck pulls out. Your stage day ended on time. Your client got their content.
The Stage · FAQ
Quick answers.
What's the chroma surface — painted wall or roll?
Painted, on every surface that lands in frame. Walls, ceiling, and the muslin curtain at the entrance are all matched chroma green. No paper roll to load in, no seams to dodge — you light it, you key it. We touch up the paint between bookings if anything scuffs.
How early can my crew load in?
Up to 60 minutes before your booking starts at no charge. Earlier than that, we add it to the booking at the hourly rate. Loading dock blocks are coordinated by front desk — give us your truck time when you book.
Can I bring my own backdrop or shoot on a white surface?
Yes — bring your own seamless paper, fabric, or pop-up backdrop and we'll set it up against the chamber wall. The chroma surface stays underneath; your bring-in covers it for the shoot. Helpful if you need a specific color, a textured surface, or a true white key.
What about my own grip and electric?
Bring your own — the rig included is a baseline, not a ceiling. We hold gear on the freight floor for return-trip crews who shoot here regularly. Just give us a manifest the day before so the front desk knows what's coming up.
Can I shoot late or overnight?
Yes — past 8 PM and overnight bookings run at +25% on the hourly rate to cover after-hours staffing. Music videos and brand intensives often run this way. Book in advance — we don't take same-day overnight requests.
Is there parking for trucks?
Loading-dock spot at street level + 90-minute unload window blocked by front desk. Crew parking is street parking on the same block — generally easy outside of weekday rush. We'll send a parking memo with your booking confirmation.
Can I rent the green room separately?
Yes — the green room is its own bookable studio at $40/hr when not packaged with The Stage. Hair & makeup teams use it as a daily prep room; talent uses it as wardrobe + holding for shoots elsewhere in the building.
What's the cancellation policy?
The short version: free cancellation up to 24 hrs before. 24–4 hrs out: 50% refund. Inside 4 hrs or no-show: full charge.
Production days have a lot of moving parts — if you've cleared the calendar to shoot and your client cancels, call the front desk. Genuine same-day issues are handled human-to-human, not by the policy.
Do my pack hours have to be on the same day?
No — that's the point. A pack is a bank of hours. Spend them however your week reads: 2 hours Tuesday, 3 hours Thursday, 3 hours Saturday. Each redemption is its own booking on the calendar. The only rule is a 1-hour minimum per redemption and the pack has to expire by its 30/60/90-day window.
What if I only need 2 hours at a time, not the 4-hour hourly minimum?
Buy a pack instead of hourly — the 4-hour minimum applies to standalone hourly bookings only. Pack hours redeem in 1-hour increments. The Starter pack (8 hours, $576) covers four 2-hour sessions across a month and works out cheaper than two standalone half-day bookings.
What happens to unused pack hours?
They expire on the date listed when you bought the pack — 30 days for Starter, 60 for Working, 90 for Resident. Unused hours are non-refundable. If you're close to expiration, the front desk can usually help you find a slot to burn them in. Most members redeem on rhythm and don't run into this.
Is the rate per-room or per-person?
Per-room. Bring up to 8 crew + 4 talent on the half-day or full-day; for larger crews, please book a tour first so we can plan load-in and green-room rotation.
Also on the floor.
Production days don't end at the stage. The rooms most often booked alongside The Stage on a shoot day:
Walk the floor. Plan the shoot.
The Stage is best understood with your DP standing in it. Book a 30-minute walkthrough — bring a shotlist, bring questions, bring your AD. We'll show you load-in, the rig, and the green room.
