Everything a Music Video Needs

CYC Wall for Performance Shots

The 16×20-foot white cyclorama is pre-lit with four DigitalFoto S300A panels offering full RGB control. Dial up any color for mood lighting — neon purple, deep red, cool blue — or keep it clean white for a timeless look. No setup time, no rigging. The CYC is ready when you walk in.

Green Screen for VFX Sequences

Need fantasy backgrounds, teleportation effects, or city skyline composites? Our dedicated 7×14 green screen room has 3-wall chroma key paint plus green floor for clean keying from any angle. Shoot your VFX shots in the green room, then walk next door for performance coverage on the CYC wall.

Industrial Warehouse Aesthetic

Beyond the CYC and green screen, the raw industrial warehouse space itself provides a creative backdrop. Exposed elements, dramatic lighting possibilities, and 1,400 square feet of open space give you an edgy, textured look that's popular in hip-hop, R&B, and indie music videos.

Talent-Ready Vanity Room

Your artists need a comfortable space to prep. Our 8×10 vanity room has a Hollywood mirror, full-body mirror, wardrobe rack, AC/heat, and WiFi. Professional hair, makeup, and styling crew available as add-ons so your talent looks camera-ready from the first take.

Music Video Studio FAQ

Planning Your Music Video Shoot

How much does it cost to rent a music video studio in LA?

Music video studios in Los Angeles range from $75 to $500+ per hour depending on size, equipment, and location. At Knows Studios, you get the CYC wall, green screen room, vanity room, all studio spaces, and an on-site rep for $100 per hour with a 2-hour minimum. Additional lighting, camera equipment, and crew are available as add-ons.

How many people can fit in the studio?

Knows Studios has a maximum capacity of 45 people, making it suitable for solo artist shoots, small crews, and larger productions with dancers or extras. The 1,400 sq/ft layout gives you room to work without feeling cramped.

Can I get multiple looks in one session?

Yes — that's one of our biggest advantages. In a single booking, you can shoot on the white CYC wall (with any RGB color you want), the green screen for VFX sequences, against paper backdrops, and in the raw warehouse space. Four distinct looks, zero travel time between them.

Do you have a playback system for music?

Yes — our Sony GTKXB60 High Power Portable Wireless Speaker is available as a $40 add-on. It's a powerful Bluetooth speaker that fills the studio. Most music video productions use it for playback during shoots. You're also welcome to bring your own speaker or playback system.

Can I book a full crew through the studio?

Yes. Beyond the included on-site studio rep, we can connect you with camera operators (DP), lighting specialists, grip, hair/makeup/styling, editors, colorists, and photographers for behind-the-scenes content. Let us know what you need when you book.

What genres of music video do you see most?

We host music videos across every genre — hip-hop, R&B, pop, Latin, indie, electronic, rock, and more. The versatile spaces work for minimalist single-shot concepts, high-energy dance performances, moody cinematic narratives, and VFX-heavy visuals. Whatever your vision, the space adapts to it.

How do I book?

Book through Giggster for instant availability and pricing, or email info@knowsstudios.com for custom packages and larger productions. 2-hour minimum booking.
