North Hollywood Production Studio Rental
Production stages, white cyc environments, lighting infrastructure, camera, grip, talent support, recording and post at 5535 Lankershim Blvd in North Hollywood—built for commercial, fashion, beauty, music-video, photography and branded-content shoots.
Choose the facility around the shoot—not just the room.
North Hollywood gives producers access to a dense production ecosystem, but the useful comparison is whether a studio can support the complete production day: stage, lighting, rigging, load-in, talent, clients, camera, grip, monitoring, recording and the path from prep through wrap. MVA can operate as a stage-only rental or as a larger production system around the same dates.
Published property references describe an approximately 9,958–10,000 sq ft two-story facility, a 12–28 ft ceiling-height range and a 10×12 ft loading-door reference. Confirm the exact room dimensions, working height and current access route for your production dates.
Main White Cyc, Front Room + Front Cyc and Upstairs Cyc give productions multiple controlled environments.
Motorized overhead infrastructure around the main production stage for approved lighting and rigging plans.
Aputure INFINIMAT capability for a broad controllable source on approved main-stage setups.
Camera, lenses, lighting, grip, monitoring, movement, recording, post and production support can be coordinated around the shoot.
What to verify before booking a North Hollywood studio.
1. Match the stage to the actual shot
Start with the treatment and shot list. Determine whether the production needs a white cyclorama, a smaller controlled setup, talent-prep space, product space, camera movement or room for agency and client viewing. Compare MVA studio spaces and the dedicated Main White Cyc.
2. Verify dimensions, working height and overhead infrastructure
Ask for the dimensions that affect the actual setup, not only total square footage. Confirm working height, cyc configuration, overhead rigging, safe fixture placement and production-specific restrictions. Use the MVA Studio Tech Pack for preliminary planning and verify final requirements during the scout.
3. Plan lighting and grip before shoot day
Pre-rigged and on-site lighting saves time only when it fits the treatment. Compare control, modifiers, grip, rigging and power—not merely fixture count. MVA’s main-stage workflow includes motorized overhead infrastructure and a 20×20 Aputure INFINIMAT system, with additional lighting and grip + rigging available around the production.
4. Check load-in, parking and production flow
Confirm loading access, vehicle requirements, parking allocation, equipment staging, wardrobe, hair and makeup, holding and client areas before the call sheet is final. MVA’s Studio Rental FAQ consolidates the current parking, load-in, outside-gear and booking guidance.
5. Decide whether you need a room or a production ecosystem
Some jobs only need an empty stage. Others are faster when camera, lenses, lighting, grip, monitoring, crew and post are coordinated with the studio dates. MVA supports both through Gear Rentals, Production Packages and the Los Angeles Production Studio workflow.
6. Plan for agency, client and talent needs
Commercial and fashion productions often need more than shooting square footage. Confirm where clients review images, where talent changes, how hair and makeup operates, where production works and how support areas interact with the stage without disrupting the crew.
7. Verify proof, not just marketing language
Review documented production history, current facility information and real examples of how the studio is used. MVA publishes Production Credits + Selected Work and facility specifications for producer due diligence. Past clients can also Review MVA Studios after working with the facility.
