    I've been renting out CML's stage for a while now. I've shot several music videos and commercials…read morehere and I have to say it's one of my favorite places to work in. Not only the stage is in great condition, affordable, and located in a nice area of Glendale. You can also rent flats to build sets, and some lights and grip. The owner (Carlos) is such a great person to work with too. He understands all aspects of production and will make sure you get the best deals for the projects you end up shooting there. I really recommend CML studios. I have shot at some other stages/studios, but definitely this place feels like home to me... and that my friends, is hard to find.

    I've never posted a review of a business before because I don't feel it's appropriate to impact a…read morebusiness' livelihood. However my experience was so bad that I don't feel I have any choice. My suggestion to anyone wanting to rent this place is this: if you are looking for a place that treats their customers courteously, don't go here. I booked the studio "as is" for which they offer a lower price. I booked it for the white cyclorama. However, when I arrived the white cyclorama was not white. It was completely filthy and covered with tire tracks as if someone had done donuts on it. The picture below shows I'm not exaggerating. Here's the thing: I assumed "as is" means scuffs, marks, dirt, sure. I *assumed* this. Absolutely. There's a reason it's a lower price. It wouldn't be perfect. But completely gray as if it hadn't been painted in a year? That's not a white cyc. That's a gray cyc with literal tire tracks across it. A salesman who had any concern for the quality of their customers shoot would've said "hey guys, by the way, the bottom of the cyc is completely trashed from a previous shoot. You may want to pay to repaint it before you come it." And I WOULDVE. Because the shoot was expensive and spending a little more to make sure it didn't look like a construction zone wouldve been worth it. Carlos' suggestion was to have someone come and repaint it during our shoot time. It would've taken at least two hours to paint and dry. Even if we were credited another hour, I had already paid for a camera man, four dancers, and a make up artist for a block of time. The trashed cyclorama already took nearly two hours to figure out how to Light and avoid showing the entire gray bottom on camera. Adding more time was not an option. This could've all been avoided with a simple courtesy call to let us know their cyclorama was not just scuffed, but completely trashed and *no longer white.* We wanted to postpone the shoot but Carlos wouldn't refund the money. So we had to make do. The second red flag was the "soft light pre lit" option I paid for. Setting up four c stands on the outside of the cyc in no particular order, not caring at all how it was exposing the cyclorama is once again lazy and unconcerned for the quality of their customers experience. Finally, Carlos kept bringing people in to look at the space while we were in the middle of our project. We had girls changing in the make up room. There was never any asking if that was okay, he just continued to walk in with a few couples showing them the space while we worked. Extremely inappropriate. I have done dozens of shoots before. This place is not worth your time. Do yourself a favor and find a place that values their customers. This place doesn't.
