Limbo at ScreenLight & Grip

Unlike every other studio in town, we don't think one size fits all. So, rather than having just one discounted package of equipment available in our studio, we tailor equipment packages to the specific requirements of the production. For example, we can offer five equipment packages for White Limbo shoots alone. They range from the economy small scale to the high end large scale and are perfectly scaled to our 40'x60' studio with its' 70' three wall wrap around hard cyc and 17.5' grid height. We are certain to have a package that is just right for your budget and type of production. Not only does ScreenLight & Grip have a large array of equipment available on a pay-as-used basis, we also stock a complete line of expendable supplies for sale on a pay-as-used basis (click below for more details).

The 40'x60' dimensions of our studio is an optimum size for most White Limbo productions. Unlike smaller studios, it is big enough to drive a car into and still be able to separate the lighting for the background from the lighting for the talent & car in the foreground. Which means that you can get a good clean limbo without throwing shadows on the wall. The extensive acoustical treatment and intimate scale of our studio will give you a clean audio track, without the reverb of a large studio, making our studio ideal for stand up sales presentations and car spots.

The high 17.5' grid height assures that there will be less fall off from top to bottom on the back wall, and from head to toe on your talent. It also allows room to hang, without dipping into your shot, the large 6kw Space Lights that are the preferred approach to creating a diffuse top light. Our three wall cyc simply gives you more working room, than a one or two wall cyc, before you shoot off the background. In fact, our three wall cyc gives you more background than our competitor's larger studios with their two wall cycs. That's not all, our studio is the only independent production stage to offer the time-saving amenity of a full pipe grid with distributed power - a feature that can eliminate the $1'000s in additional labor required to light with box truss at our competitor's new studios. Finally, there is no additional fee for power. These are just a few of the reasons why our studio is better suited for White Limbo than just about any other studio in town.

You are welcome to supply your own crew in addition to our studio manager ($407/10hrs). Our studio manager is an experienced third grip. You should plan to hire at least a gaffer, and for the larger packages a Key Grip and/or Best Boy Electric. We will be happy to refer you to experienced crew; or, if you like, we can hire the grip and electric crew ourselves and serve as the employer of record for an additional paymaster service fee.

We hope this explanation has been helpful. Please, do not hesitate to call us, at 781-326-5088, with questions. We will be happy to help you make an informed decision about which approach is right for your production and budget.
