Some of us pretend to be stars (every resident here is a big TALKER), but some of us actually are. Enter me: I model, I act. I do it for fun versus my true career calling. Today though, I got to tape a TV show for the Game Show Network. I legally can't disclose any more details but I'll just say that Jerry Springer is the show's host (he's a DOLL), the entire episode revolved around ME, and that I was dubbed the "Slutty Rocker Chick".
Anyway, the Game Show Network has leased space for current production at Saticoy Studios in Van Nuys. Owned by Hollywood Mobile Systems whom also manage Hayvenhurst Studios, Saticoy Studios was built in 2006. A full sound stage building consists of four floors of dressing rooms (some with showers), productions offices, catering/craft services area, stage elevators, catwalks, and a 12,000 ampage system. The exterior has a sort of New York apartment meets 1800s Charles Dickens feel to provide that essential element to exterior shots as opposed to the Wild West Saloon theme of the exterior of Hayvenhurst Studios.
Although not the "prettiest" in interior aesthetics, the layout is perfect for production. The makeup/wardrobe rooms are spacious, large mirrors, with a HUGE wardrobe area, while the dressing rooms have a "living room" area with a couch and then your personal changing/closet area. I felt like the starlet I rightfully am. The actual stage area is LARGE, with a medium-sized arena style audience seating, and ample office areas off stage.
Large or small productions can rent space for use and prices are reasonable. It may not be the swankiest studio but it gets the job done and well. Especially when a big network like the Game Show Network is in play and then you get treated like royalty. So go ahead, be a star. Maybe you will end up on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. read more
