The best days production in 2024. I’m a full time commercial photographer / DP, corporate and commercial clients across NJ. Short stay Studios was ideally located in downtown Newark. Access is a productions dream: parking available, an elevator, key code access. The owner operates a pickup truck, available for additional fees to help move from point a/b, (pending availability). The studio itself is ideal: it has a kitchenette and bathroom on site. Large windows with great natural light, blinds also available. Flexible space: over the course of a single production day we filmed 7+ doc style interviews, never the same shot twice. There are some seamless backdrops available on site, but with advance notice specific colors can be ordered. Lots of electrical outlets, all functional, I had no issues using multiple 600w lights + DIT station, battery recharging etc. Sound is great; course of 10 hour production there were 2 instances of siren / motorbike, that I had talent repeat lines. Minimal echo. Carpets / rugs available on site to dampen reverb as needed. I cannot recommend Short Stay Studios enough - I’m already looking to book 2 additional dates at this venue after a seamless production day with my client (a department of the municipal government who are based 3 streets away).
