This is one of the more affordable studios in Brooklyn. It's a few blocks from the nearest station…read more So it's convenient. I rented the Daylight Studio. So my review is going to be on that. The door is hard to see, you have to pay attention to see the number. Once you get to the door, you ring the doorbell and Sterling will come down to get you. I booked this studio in the summer, and it was hot! I don't mean my photoshoot, the studio was burning up. It has a small air conditioning unit in the corner. They also have huge, bright windows with no curtains. It's good for lighting, not good for the temperature inside. The small AC unit does not do its job, obviously. Between looks, my models had to go near it and cool off. It's not a fun shoot if everyone is sweating. The windows, that I mentioned earlier, is big. It's also South Facing so you won't get much of the harsh sunlight except at certain times of the day. At the time I rented the studio, they didn't have black curtains. So if you wanted to kill some natural light, it would've been difficult. But their website said they have blackout curtains. So maybe you have to ask for them? At the back of the studio, they have some plants. I thought that was a nice touch. It can be used as an extra set. They have a nice Profoto with a big octobox on a huge stand that you can rent. You can rent additional strobes or other modifiers. You can also rent paper. I rented a white seamless paper, and they seem to just get a new roll for you. Despite the heat, their studio is pretty nice. It's 1000 sq feet, has a MUA table, a plain white wall, a wardrobe rack, V Flats, grip equipment, and even a computer you can play music on. Their bathroom was outside the studio and was a scary looking. Oh well. You can't have it all. Sterling was helpful and helped set up everything. I think for the price, it's a decent studio to rent. Be ready to brave the elements though. I wonder if they have a heater during the winter or would it be super-cold?

I used to love this place but there are many better studios in Brooklyn, just search online!…read more Their deposit policy is ridicules, I contacted multiple studios and non of them ask for a deposit, and then would not refund you when you cancel your booking.

I had the opportunity to do business with Mayo studios, and after working with them, it's the only…read morestudio that I plan on using. They built beautiful sets, fully furnished each with their own collection of furniture, catered to every need, and have an amazing prop department with practically anything you can think of...and its all in house. Their receptionist Theresa couldn't have been nicer. She kept tabs on everything and made sure everything was always perfect. Overall, THIS is the studio you want to use for your company's projects

David and the staff at Union Square Kitchen are the epitome of a well oiled machine…read more My company (being very large and needy) required all the bells and whistles Union Square Kitchen offered. If you want top notch service, with A+ location... Union Square Kitchen is the place. I recommend heavily.

I can't even describe how amazing this studio is! We hired Lionvale films to shoot out wedding…read morevideo and we couldn't thank them enough! The crew was very professional, everything went so smooth and organized. I was scared that I'll be shy in front of the camera but videographer made us feel so comfortable, we laughed, had a lot of fun. We had a feeling like they were part of our family. Final result was beyond our expectations. Every moment was captures beautifully. I'm already booking them to shoot our son's 1st bday!:)

We had such a low budget but we needed something budget friendly as I was not going to hand write a million cue cards. Bill assured me this was that right thing and he was absolutely correct. Even for someone like me who is not that tech Savvy I was able to easily load the scripts the night before, make necessary adjustments on set without losing valuable shooting time. I would definitely recommend and rent again!

I did a work-in-progress showing of a feature here a few weeks ago and it was invaluable!…read more The owner provided a world class screening experience, showing the film in it's highest technical form while also allowing a comfortable and causal environment for our audience. That's usually a tough cross-roads to find, especially for a rough cut screening. BIG fan of this place!

I head to Steiner often for covid testing & fittings. Usually film at different locations around NY…read moreand away from the studio, but Steiner is the home base. Always hard to find street parking , but once inside things are pretty smooth. The check-in desk to get your wrist band is polite and mostly organized. Back ups do happen. If you need a restroom, the one in the front hall is well maintained. There is a stairway up to most fittings which you can come down to the first floor from the upper levels, but not the other way around. The lot is always bustling with people & props. There's good security and the property is consistently clean. When you make the drive, might as well walk over to the Navy Yard and grab a bite. Go to the side gait and buzz the guard to open the door. You can walk directly to the back of the brewery, pizza shop, deli or the other way towards the water to board the NYC ferry. You can also check out Il Porto for a slice and $4 beer, or the coffee shop on Washington. Both good.

It's amazing. Great place to work. It's large & spacious and top notch professional…read more I had a great time working there.

Unique party venue, a decommissioned lightship that was salvaged from the bottom of the Chesapeake…read moreBay. Part of the fun is just wandering around the rusted interior of the ship. At least in January, people were dressed in American Apparel and plaid shirts (it is not a good idea to wear heels because the floor is sometimes grated). The music mostly matched the audience's style. Admission was only $12. The downside was the DJ who spins between acts (he played the Taio Cruz Dynamite song every break multiple times), and during performances, the higher frequencies were sometimes so loud that it was painful.
