What’s in the studio
Every studio session includes wireless lav mics and professional LED lighting. The studio is built for focused, high-quality shoots — one or two people on camera, multiple angles when needed. Everything below can be added to any production and will be scoped into your custom quote.
Additional Camera Operator — add a second operator for extended coverage or multi-subject shoots
Additional Camera Bodies — Blackmagic URSA Broadcast G2 or 6K Pro Studio, up to three additional cameras available. Ideal for multi-angle coverage without a second session.
Teleprompter + Operator — great for scripted messaging, spokesperson content, and executive communications
Dedicated Audio Recorder — captures a clean isolated track alongside your wireless lav, protects against dropouts and gives your editor a better file to work with
Livestream Kit + Technical Director — Zoom, YouTube, Vimeo, or private stream, with live switching and graphics
Video Editing — $100/hr for studio clients (standard rate $160/hr). Add editing to any shoot and receive a finished video without coordinating a separate editor.
Multi-Camera Upgrades — custom configurations for larger productions, panels, or broadcast setups
For larger productions, multi-day shoots, or custom setups, reach out to us. We’ll build a setup that fits your goals and budget.
Everything you need to know before you book. No surprises on the day.
The studio is soundproofed and records well. Occasionally you may hear transient street sounds from the neighborhood — sirens, distant construction. Every booking includes two Hollyland Lark Max wireless lavalier mics with built-in AI noise reduction, which filters ambient noise automatically without affecting voice quality. For most interview and corporate shoots this is a non-issue.
CinemaViva's Little Italy studio is built for video podcasts and AI production. Multi-cam setups, green screen, and specialized flat lighting for digital avatar capture — all in one space.
From Fortune-level brands to medical organizations and live events — here’s a sample of who we’ve worked with.
