Soundproofed Video Recording Studio
Professional video production depends on more than cameras and lighting. For interviews, podcasts, corporate presentations, educational content, and other dialogue-driven work, the quality of the recording environment has a direct impact on the final result.
Video Photo Studio was built with sound isolation as a core part of the production space. Insulated walls, double-pane windows, acoustic doors, and separation between the primary recording area and mechanical equipment all work together to reduce street noise, building noise, HVAC interference, and other unwanted sound that can compromise dialogue recording.
For productions where spoken content is the main focus, the studio offers a far more controlled recording environment than a conventional daylight loft, office, apartment, or untreated rental space.
The sound-isolated environment is particularly useful for professional dialogue recording. Clients planning executive or corporate conversations can explore our Interview Video Production in NYC, while productions built around hosts, guests, or remote participants can use our Podcast Studio in Manhattan.
Video Studio Backgrounds & Shooting Areas
Different productions call for different visual environments. The studio provides multiple backgrounds and styled shooting areas that can be configured within the same booking.
White Cyclorama
The large white cyclorama provides a clean, seamless environment for commercials, corporate presentations, product demonstrations, training content, music videos, full-body filming, and creative video production. Its curved wall-to-floor transition removes the visible corner of a traditional wall, giving crews more flexibility for wide compositions, movement, and full-body shots.
The same cyclorama and styled studio environments are also available for still-image productions through our Photography Studio Rental in Manhattan.
Blackout Studio
When a production calls for a darker, more controlled visual environment, the entire cyclorama can be covered with a blackout curtain. That means production teams can move between a bright white setting and a darker, lighting-controlled one without changing locations.
Library Set
The Library Set features wood shelving, books, furniture, and classic interior details that create a professional environment. Furniture can be repositioned depending on camera angles, number of participants, and lighting requirements.
Antique & Styled Interior Sets
One wall of the studio is built to feel like something out of late French Classicism — the kind of ornate, aristocratic backdrop you’d expect in an old European loft. It gives the space its character: not a blank box, but a set with a story already built in.
From there, it’s yours to shape. Bring in studio furniture, chairs, tables, and props to match the concept, and the set adapts accordingly — moody and editorial, warm and lived-in, or polished and formal, depending on what the shoot calls for.
Green Screen
A professional green screen can be installed on the cyclorama for productions requiring virtual backgrounds, compositing, presentations, training content, VFX, or digital environments. For projects that need a dedicated chroma key setup, clients can also use our Green Screen Studio & Chroma Key Video Production service.
Backstage
Professional Lighting Infrastructure
The studio is built to support controlled professional lighting rather than relying on available room light. Four ceiling-mounted metal trusses provide elevated positions for lighting equipment and help keep fixtures, stands, and cables clear of active shooting areas when the production layout allows.
Professional LED fixtures, softboxes, grids, stands, V-Flats, and other modifiers are available depending on the needs of the production.
Electrical Power & Production Infrastructure
Video productions typically require far more electrical capacity than ordinary office or residential spaces. The studio provides 11 dedicated 20-amp electrical circuits, allowing crews to distribute lighting, cameras, monitors, audio equipment, computers, and other production gear across separate circuits. Access to the studio breaker panel gives added control when planning larger technical setups.
The four ceiling-mounted metal trusses with electrical sockets provide additional infrastructure for lighting installations. Combined with the 13-foot ceiling height and flexible floor area, this gives production teams more options for placing lights, stands, cameras, monitors, and supporting equipment while keeping the active shooting area organized.
Additional Video Production Equipment
A selection of basic studio, grip, and production equipment is available with the rental to support setup and everyday production needs:
- 4 ETC Source Four 750W fixtures
- 10 C-Stands with Grip ARM
- 2 Combo Stands
- 3 Tripods
- 8 × 15 lb sandbags
- 4 V-Flats
- Folding table
- 8 folding chairs
- Clothing rack
- Garment steamer
- Speakers
- Printer
- Kitchen access
- Wi-Fi
- Complimentary coffee
The studio’s internet connection runs approximately 400 Mbps download and 400 Mbps upload, enough to support client communication, file transfers, and production workflows.
Additional cameras, lighting, audio, monitoring, and production equipment can be rented according to project requirements.

Productions with specific technical requirements should send an equipment list before the shoot so the studio can confirm availability and prepare everything in advance.
Productions that require cameras, lighting, audio, operators, and complete technical coordination can also be booked through our Full-Service Video Production in NYC.
Makeup, Styling Area & Changing Area
The studio includes dedicated preparation areas for talent, wardrobe, clients, and production teams.
A dedicated makeup area allows speakers, actors, models, executives, and other talent to prepare before recording and touch up between takes.
A private changing area is available for wardrobe changes. A clothing rack and garment steamer are also on hand for organizing and preparing clothing.
Movable Furniture
Furniture throughout the studio can be repositioned to create different interview, podcast, presentation, editorial, or lifestyle configurations, making it possible to build multiple looks within a single booking without moving the production elsewhere.
Client & Production Support
Wi-Fi, kitchen access, seating, work surfaces, and preparation areas provide additional support for longer production days.
