Studio rental rates in New Jersey vary depending on the size of the space, amenities, and included gear. Most professional studios charge a flat day rate between $2000 and $5000, with additional costs for overtime, repainting the cyc wall, or damage fees. At Awakened Films, our Madison studio offers transparent and affordable day rates starting at $1250 that include a 3200K lit cyclorama and core amenities such as 100amps of dedicated power, so producers can budget with confidence.
Every production studio is different, which is why it’s important to ask what comes standard. And there is a major difference between a creative space, photo studio and video production studio. Our base rate includes 3200K pre-lit cyc wall, seamless backdrops including green screen, quiet HVAC and 100amps of dedicated power.
For larger productions, we can provide full lighting and camera packages, teleprompters, audio kits, and crew as well as a staffed hair & makeup room, client conference room with live video feed, and kitchenette with seating for meals and snacks. This kind of setup can save you time and money by consolidating rentals and services in one easy place.
The Studios at Awakened Films can supply all necessary gear or you can bring your own! Many clients don’t have access to professional cinema cameras and high quality lighting / audio and are delighted to work with our in-house team and gear. Others simply need a space to film in NJ.
The base pricing we offer on our website is for an 8-hour, studio only rental…BYOC&G (bring your own crew & gear). We are also happy to bundle a rental with Awakened Films’ full video production services, including all gear, directing, camera operation, sound, hair and makeup, craft services for meals, and even post-production. Flexibility is key; we make it easy to fit your workflow.
Our New Jersey Video Production Studio features a large white cyclorama wall with plenty of shooting depth and height, perfect for commercials, interviews, and product films. The cyc dimensions are 15×15, comes pre-lit with 3200K high-cri LEDs, and can be painted chroma green or another custom color upon request. Our cyclorama provides a seamless background for compositing, virtual sets, and crisp polished brand visuals.

Studios in New Jersey often book out weeks in advance, especially during busy advertising and campaign seasons. We recommend securing your dates as early as possible. Awakened Films offers flexible rescheduling and clear cancellation policies, with detailed terms provided at the time of booking. This ensures you know exactly what to expect and can plan around production deadlines. Contact us today to hold your dates!
While no stage is 100% soundproof, we’ve minimized outside noise, engineered a quiet HVAC system that can run during takes and have a thick sound-dense wall separating client areas from the studio. Our studio also has a sound-stage quality sound deadening ‘cloud ceiling’. It has been designed for dialogue-driven shoots like corporate interviews, testimonials, and commercials.
Beware – many ‘studios’ in NJ are actually best suited for photography or creative meetings, as they are not isolated from road noise or internal sound reflections. Ask the potential studio about this (and perhaps even visit) before signing anything.
Safety is the number one priority in any production environment. Certain effects like haze, or small vehicle drive-ins are allowed with advance approval and proper permits. Small set builds are permitted as long as they don’t damage the stage. We do not allow open flames or indoor drones.
Our team will provide clear guidelines upon booking, to help productions stay compliant with insurance and local regulations.
New Jersey currently offers one of the most competitive film and digital media tax credit programs in the country, with credits up to 35% on qualified expenses. This makes shooting in New Jersey highly attractive for commercials and corporate productions.
Our team can help connect you with the resources needed at the TV & Film Commission to understand eligibility and apply credits to your project.
Productions often choose New Jersey studios because it offers larger spaces, easier parking, and lower rates than many New York City studios. Crews save time on logistics with straightforward load-ins, less traffic, and no city surcharges.
At Awakened Films, our Madison location is just 25 minutes from Newark Airport, and located on the Morris & Essex Train line, making it convenient for both local and out-of-state clients.
