Studio Services

We are located in a clean and modern office building on Ventura Boulevard within walking distance of a variety of fine restaurants and retail services.  Our staff of over 30 skilled technicians, producers and crew brings the combined knowledge of a wide variety of industry professionals to assist in the creation of your media.

Studio 1: Green Screen

This is the larger of our studios, measuring 29′x14′ with a 9 foot deep walk-on chroma key green screen, suitable for full body shots.  It features 3 robotic cameras, each with 3 1/2″ CCDs, two teleprompters, 3 camera monitors, and a lighting grid with multiple dimmable softboxes.  The studio has two microphones (expandable up to six), and two-way communication with the control room via headset, loudspeaker, and in-ear IFB.

Studio 2: Artist Lounge

(Partial availability until completion of renovation)

This is the smaller studio, measuring 16′x16’.  It is also equipped with a chroma key green screen, although the floor is not green.  It has a single robotic camera with a teleprompter, camera monitor, and a lighting grid with multiple dimmable softboxes.  Studio 2 has a microphone (expandable up to 2), and two-way communication with the control room via headset, loud speaker, and in-ear IFB.

This space can also be reconfigured and used as a practical set when shooting from the other direction.  The Artist Lounge is a furnished space with a beautiful view of the Southern California mountains.  It has a variety of sofas, chairs and other decorative elements available for use, including a flat screen monitor to display logos, graphics or playback.  While not equipped with the same remote control operation, this space provides a picturesque alternative to a green screen background.  It has a variety of microphones and a 10 channel mixer for musical performances.

State Of The Art

Our state-of-the-art control room is the core of our studio operations.  Both Studios 1 and 2 can be operated from Master Control.  Being able to view all the cameras on the same high resolution monitor allows our technicians to accurately adjust the look of the cameras and ensure that they all match properly.  Each shot is evaluated on a waveform monitor and vector scope to place the green levels at the optimal IRE for a flawless chroma key.

We employ robotic JVC KY-F56OU cameras in both studios: 3 in Studio 1 and a single in Studio 2.  These cameras are all broadcast-quality, three-chip cameras with high-resolution 1/2″ CCD’s (imaging sensors that improve quality with increased size).  All camera movement (including pan and tilt) and lens functions can be remotely operated via the control room, allowing a single operator to control all the cameras simultaneously.

Our Hair and Makeup Room is provided free of charge (pending availability) with any on-site studio rental.  This room is usually opened 30 minutes prior to your scheduled studio time.  There is a cable TV with a feed from the studio for stylists to monitor the on-camera talent.
