Studio A, established in 1999, is Toronto's answer to a truly professional space at a reasonable price. It is a great choice for when you have your own gear, or want to rent something specific. It includes many extra features not normally found in studios at this low price, and some features not found in other Toronto rental studios, no matter what the day rate is, like a rolling shooting platform and one of teh best makuep stations in the city. Check out photos, regular rates, and discount rates, and special offers.
Studio A is well suited for tabletop, small set, portraits, beauty, and fashion and projects not requiring drive-in access, or elevators. This 1150 sq. ft. studio (24' x 33' shooting area) has a pro-grade 20 ft. wide cyclorama (cove) has a 5 ft. radius, ensuring smooth, gradual light falloff. A seamless white floor, extending from the cyc, can be accessed by upgrading, and sliding away one or both protective panels. The cove floor length is 20' , with a 33' shooting distance to cove wall. The 13-ft. pure white ceiling, suitable for bouncing lights for an even overall fill light, has a steel truss design that can easily accommodate grids and prop rigging. The dual station make-up area has mirrors that surround your subject, so the subjects can see themselves from all angles at once. The ultra-bright 5000°K bubble lights provide even illumination for critical makeup application. This same lighting throughout the entire studio ensures bright, color accurate illumination for setup, styling, and strike. Alternately, dimming halogen lighting can be used for working around any sets that require previewing lighting.
