It’s an exciting time to be in the New Jersey film scene right now and we’re looking forward to continuing doing our small part to help keep the momentum building for the state.
Workshop-Inspired Sets for Bespoke Post
Our 2nd Floor’s versatility was on full display again as we welcomed back Bespoke Post & team as they transformed different sections of the loft into a workshop & garage inspired backdrops for their multi-day menswear fashion shoot.
Since they were going for rugged lifestyle scenes, they also threw in our vintage Ford F150 for good measure.
36 Angles for History Channel Documentary
Arrow Point Media team, an English production company, stopped in for two weeks of interviews for their upcoming History Channel documentary.
We’re proud to say that over the course of the twelve day shoot they captured 36 unique backdrops, each offering a different look behind the interviewees - again an example of our 2nd Floors’ versatile nature.
Updated Photos of our 2nd Floor Loft
With a few new bits of furniture and artwork having been added to the studio over the past year, it felt like a good time for some updated photos of our 2nd Floor. Please have a look, let us know what you think and share them around!
