The four sets

Four different looks,
without leaving the building.

Shooting three looks usually means three locations and a day lost to driving. These are all standing and lit in one room.

SET 01

Victorian Blue Room

Rich blue tones and gold décor. Best for classy portraits, editorial and fashion.

SET 02

Wes Anderson Set

Pink, yellow and teal, symmetrical and storybook. Best for beauty, lifestyle, birthdays and influencer work.

SET 03

Retro 70s Kitchen

A built 70s kitchen set with a period stove and cabinets. Best for throwback stories, music videos and food.

SET 04

Stylized Bathroom

Odd and full of edge. Best for fashion, beauty, music videos and bolder brand work.

fits the shoot.

Specs & what is included

What you get with the room.

Open floor

A clear shooting floor you set up however the shoot needs, with room for full-body work.

Full lighting grid

Our lights and stands are included in the rate. Bring your own if you prefer.

Sound treatment

Treated for clean speech and podcasts, not a big room with an echo.

Utility sink

A large sink by the restroom for water, washing up and food styling. There is no gas or plumbed water in the studio itself.

24/7 access

Book overnight or at 6am. The building does not close on you.

Parking

Parking on site, which matters a lot when you are carrying gear.

750 sq ft

Enough room for a crew and a client without anyone standing in the shot.

Pilsen location

2147 S Lumber St. Quick from the Loop, Chinatown, Bridgeport and the highway.

Hourly or monthly

The month costs less
than four hours.

Studio 510 is $85 an hour or $300 a month, so the month pays for itself in under four hours. Studio 508B is $45 an hour or $250 a month, which is under six. Most memberships in this city give you five to eight hours a month. Ours gives you up to four hours a day.

Questions

Renting the room.

What does it cost to rent?
It depends which room. Studio 508B, the open production room, is $45 an hour. Studio 510, the four-set room, is $85 an hour. Half-day and full-day rates are available on request and are meaningfully cheaper per hour. If you shoot with us more than a couple of times a month, membership from $250/mo will almost certainly be cheaper than paying hourly. Ask and we will do the maths honestly.
What is included in the hourly rate?
The room, the sets, house lighting with stands and modifiers, restroom and utility sink access, and parking. You bring cameras, media and your own crew. Grip and specialty gear beyond the house package can be added on request.
Can I book outside business hours?
Yes. The space has 24/7 access. Overnight and early-morning bookings are common and are booked the same way as any other slot.
What is in the production room?
A full lighting setup, sound treatment and an open floor you set up yourself. That is what makes the space work for video and podcast production rather than just stills.
Can I hire your crew as well as the room?
Yes, and it is the most common upgrade. A crewed day gives you our DP, lighting, and post. That is quoted as a production, not a rental. Send a brief and we will scope it.
Is it suitable for podcasts?
Yes. We run multi-cam podcast production out of this room, so it is already sound-treated and set up for it. You can rent it self-serve or book us to run the multi-cam capture, sync, cleanup and mix.
Can I host an event or a shoot with a large crew?
Small activations and workshops work well. Tell us headcount when you enquire so we can confirm capacity and whether you need a coordinator on site.
Where exactly is it?
Pilsen, Chicago, at 2147 S Lumber Street. There is parking on site. The exact suite is confirmed when you book.
