RED Digital Cinema cameras, an 11.5×6.6 ft LED video wall, a full Nanlite lighting grid, and a pro audio suite — already rigged and ready when you walk in. Book by the hour or run a retainer.
Studio 2553 is an industrial loft stage on Armitage built for creators who don't want to truck in a camera package, light a room from scratch, or troubleshoot audio on set. The gear stays rigged between bookings — you show up and shoot.
Run it ala-carte for a single shoot day, or move to a monthly retainer and lock in lower hourly rates plus discounted equipment packages.
Placeholder tiles below — swap each one for real studio photos when you have them.
The full kit lives on-site, rigged and tested between shoots.
Static backgrounds on the wall are included in your studio rate. Motion/video content is billed as the Virtual BG / LED Wall package — see pricing.
Book one-off, or commit to monthly hours and bring every rate down.

Space time is billed hourly at your tier's rate. A static image on the LED wall is included at no extra cost — the Virtual BG / LED Wall fee only applies when the wall is running motion or video content. Other equipment packages (RED Camera Trio, Nanlite Lighting, Pro Audio Suite, Master Indie Kit) are billed per booking, with retainer tiers receiving a package discount on top of the lower hourly rate.
Illustrative layout — swap for the real floor plan when ready.
