Here is what you should consider before renting an NYC production studio during a pandemic:
Audio Recording Equipment
Always check to see what gear is available for your exact needs before committing yourself to a studio. You want to make sure your recording necessities, be it audio, voice-overs, ADR, and/or scoring are met. If you want to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth, it makes sense to have a professional sound engineer there to help in making your project sound perfect.
Green Screens
Green screens are fundamental to the digital media industry and are always in great demand. They allow the production to record in a steady environment, then add an independently filmed background with ease in post-production —essentially, pulling your subject out of the real world, and placing them over a digital backdrop. Music videos and vlog channels predominantly use green screens for many of their projects.
Sound Stage
At many facilities, when renting a soundstage, you will be asked to pay an hourly rate, and then handed a menu of “a la carte items” you will need for your production or event. Options may include a studio manager, lights, sound, equipment, tripods, monitors, teleprompters, expendables, electricity, and wifi.
Renting an NYC Production Studio during a pandemic can be overwhelming, but it’s less so if you know precisely what you want and budgets in view of that. Don’t be misled by ads showing outrageously low hourly rates before checking to see just what you get. Typically, as the old saying goes — you get what you pay for.
Make sure you will have not only the space you want, but the tools you need, the staff to help you, and all the care you will appreciate in the long run. Find a film studio in NYC you can call home because creating a project is an exercise in willpower and love, an experience you want to make sure is as close to perfect as possible. Keeping that in mind when renting a studio space will help make it easier and a more pleasurable experience from start to finish.
