Studio Hire FAQs
What does “dry hire” mean, what’s included?
Dry hire means you hire the empty space and the white cyclorama, without equipment. Photo & video lighting, colour backdrops and grip aren’t included but can be hired (or bring your own). Standard cleaning is included.
Is the studio soundproof? Can I shoot sound?
It isn’t soundproof, we’re in a shared office park with a corrugated roof, so there’s some echo and ambient noise. You can shoot sound (many have), but a recce is strongly advised and compulsory for dialogue/sound. Rain is audible on the roof.
Can the cyclorama be painted a colour?
Yes, it’s fully paintable, acrylic PVA paint only (no roof paint or oil-based paint). We prefer you order your own colour paint and we’ll share our supplier & specs. To keep our premium white finish consistent we repaint to white ourselves: R2 500 labour, and you cover the white paint (or buy it yourself, we recommend Polvin white). Options: you supply paint (R2 500 labour); paint + labour, 6×20L white (R8 500); colour back to white (R5 000).
What are your operating hours?
8am to 6pm. Anything before or after is charged as overtime (R1 000/hour).
