| WORKSHOP
LOCATION: This workshop will be held at our home base - Studio 212 in Metuchen - the "studio built for glamour". We have recently installed a cyc wall in studio "D" and we normally repaint the wall right before each workshop. (Note: Cyc wall, or cyclorama: a curved, seamless wall and floor used as a backdrop. Some people call it an "infinity" wall. "Cyc" is pronounced as "sike.") Click here for photos of our cyc wall. Our studio truly was built for glamour. My former partner Ron and I searched for over a year until we found this space and moved in back in August, 2003. We were one of the first tenants after the new owners had bought the building. One of the things that we really liked was the window light. We had them knock down the wall between two rooms that had windows to make a bigger daylight shooting space, which became Studio A. We usually have this room set up with 3 or 4 sets, including our permanent school room set. Some other sets that we do in this room include a bedroom, den, and living room. Another large room with no windows became Studio B. This room is always set up with studio lights and also includes a 3' x 3' x 3' white box that the model goes into. In summer, 2005, we doubled the size of the studio by renting the rest of the available rooms on our floor. We turned a very large room into Studio D, which is about the size of Studio A and B combined. We had that room gutted, removed the drop ceiling, removed the carpeting and replaced it with a tile floor, removed the two regular-size doors and had a double door installed right in the center of the long wall. In addition to the white cyc wall we have the other end of the room painted flat black, and the long wall on the side is divided into red and yellow shooting areas. We also have a black and white checked floor in front of the yellow area. We also added a second model room that can easily accommodate 8 or more models directly opposite the double doors of Studio D. We added 3 offices, and doubled the size of our storage and prop room. We then convinced another business that was on our floor to re-locate across the parking lot so that we could take over the last two offices on our floor, which is now my new office and attached prop room. Our total amount of rented space is 3055 sf, but we also have access to other shooting areas in our building. We have a freight elevator that we often use as a shooting space, and can also be used to bring motorcycles up to our second floor studio. The elevator is 8' deep and 7'9 wide with a 7' ceiling. It is 10'8 diagonally and has a caged wire roof with a skylight on the third floor. The third floor is vacant and the owners recently gutted most of the entire floor. We often shoot up there using natural light from 5 large windows on one side of the building, and many more windows on the other side. Right now we have 13 Alien Bees at the studio, including the Alien Bee Ringlight. We also have many soft boxes, grids, and beauty dishes. We've have a wi-fi network with "Optimum Online Boost" for faster speed so you can easily connect to the internet from our studio from either Mac or PC. Click here for directions to our studio. |
