The space
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. A Full Colour Swap is $1,000. Chroma key green requires the Full Colour Swap. Confirm the colour and repaint timing when you book.
Yes. The 25×25 ft cyc can be painted chroma key green as a Full Colour Swap for $1,000. Confirm the colour and repaint timing when you book.
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. The booking includes a pre-lit white cyc, four Aputure Nova P300c lights, six C-Stands, ten sound blankets, apple boxes, tables, and chairs.
No. The 2,000 sq ft stage is sound-treated, not soundproof. 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.
The loading dock is truck-height (4 ft) with an 8×10 ft door.
Shoots & setups
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. Music video productions can use the 45 × 40 ft stage floor and 25×25 ft pre-lit cyc. Confirm the planned setup during a Tech Scout. See the music video studio page.
Yes. One production per day receives full and undivided use of the 4,500 sq ft facility during its booked window, including the client lounge and green room. See studio rates and booking.
Yes. The 25×25 ft pre-lit cyc is the main photo backdrop. Four Aputure Nova P300c lights, six C-Stands, ten sound blankets, apple boxes, tables, and chairs are included in the rate. The studio supports lookbooks, e-commerce, editorial, and portrait photography. See the photo studio page.
Gear & crew
