What everyone asks
before they book.

No. No deposit is required to hold a date. Book online or send an inquiry, and the date is yours once you approve the quote.

Yes. Clients are required to carry production liability insurance for every booking. Proof of insurance may be requested before the production date. Ask about the requirement before confirming if you need time to arrange coverage.

Yes. The Full Day is the daily rate: $1,200 flat for 12 hours, the whole building, one production at a time. Book any open date on the calendar online, no deposit required.

Exclusive use of the full 4,500 sq ft facility: soundstage, 25×25 ft pre-lit cyc, pre-hung house lighting, basic grip, green room, hair and makeup room, flex and staging space, craft and prep area, two kitchens, client lounge, WiFi, parking, truck-level load-in, and direct access to a studio and equipment manager.

Optional additions include à la carte cameras, lenses, lighting, and grip from Viva Camera, overtime, and custom requests such as a cyc repaint. Studio clients receive a fixed 25% discount on Viva Camera equipment.

Viva Studio Rentals is a 4,500 sq ft private production facility with a 2,000 sq ft sound-treated soundstage (45 × 40 ft floor), a 25×25 ft pre-lit cyc wall, and 18 ft ceilings with the lighting grid at 13.5 ft.

A cyclorama, or cyc, is a seamless curved backdrop wall: the floor sweeps into the wall with no corner, so the background reads as infinite on camera. Some studios call it an infinity cove. The cyclorama at Viva Studio Rentals is 25×25 ft, pre-lit, and included in every rental.

Yes. The cyc is white by default. A Floor Refresh is $300, and a Full Colour Swap paints the whole wall your colour for $1,000, chroma key green included. Send the colour with your booking and we will prep it before your call.

Yes. The 25×25 ft cyc paints chroma key green as a Full Colour Swap for $1,000, prepped before your call time. That gives you a seamless green wall-and-floor sweep for keying, compositing, and VFX plates.

No. Viva Studio Rentals has no LED wall, video wall, or virtual production volume. For composite work, the cyc can be painted chroma key green; for in-camera looks, the studio provides a pre-lit cyc, full blackout, and an included house lighting package.

No. The 2,000 sq ft stage is sound-treated to help manage reflections, but it is not soundproof and occasional outside noise can bleed in. Book a tech scout to assess the room for dialogue, interviews, or other production-audio needs.

Bring your lighting plan and department heads to a free 30-minute tech scout. We will review the room, grid, access, load-in, and any technical requirements before the production day.

Back your grip truck or van up to the dock. It is truck-height (4 ft) with an 8×10 ft door at the rear of the building, and gear rolls straight onto the soundstage. No stairs or freight elevators.

Yes, for video-first podcasts and interviews that suit a sound-treated production stage. The facility is not a recording studio and is not soundproof. A tech scout is the right time to assess the production-audio requirements. See filmed podcast and interview setups.

Yes. The 45 × 40 ft floor takes set builds and choreography, and confirmed productions can arrange overnight access when required. See the music video studio page.

Yes. Commercial, corporate, and branded content productions get the building to themselves: one production at a time, a client lounge for reviews, and a green room for talent. See the commercial studio page.

Yes. The 25×25 ft pre-lit cyc is the main photo backdrop, and the house lighting and grip package is included in the rate. Lookbooks, e-commerce, editorial, and portraits all shoot on the same floor. See the photo studio page.

Yes. Viva Camera is on-site at 777 The Queensway. Studio clients get 25% off cameras, lenses, lighting, and grip.

Yes. Clients who need complete production and crew rather than a studio-only rental are referred to Viva Media for commercial, corporate, and social video production.
