I produced a small shoot at Central Station Media on 10/24/15. Cast and Crew size = 12. I wouldn't…read moresuggest having a cast and crew over 15 unless you have staggered call times. Our shoot day was split up into two parts, inserts and a green screen news segment. The pre-lit greenscreen was a plus as it saved time. Also, the HMU/Kitchen area is very convenient. The size of the space worked fine for what we needed and the staff was very helpful in assisting us with our needs. There is limited parking so I had to feed the meters for my small crew every two hours along Ventura Blvd. which wasn't a big deal. However, you are given several parking spaces on the top lot which I used for my talent and it was very convenient. I only have two minor issues with the space: 1. Since they are new to this location, the organization of the Grip and Electric package wasn't as great as it could have been but I'm sure that will improve in time. In addition, a few more flags, floppies and small frames and diffusion options (or even some gels) would have been helpful. No biggie though. 2. There is an audition space just adjacent in the same building and we had people coming into our little foyer area often looking for their audition. Not a big deal but a little more clear signage provided by CSM for our doors and parking spaces would have definitely helped out. Again, no biggie. All in all, this is a great space and I will be recommending it to all of my colleagues. If I could give 4 1/2 stars I would! Upinder and Keven are great guys and I will definitely use them again.

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.

I am re-reviewing this place after Yelp removed my previous review because it was "heresay"…read more I am a video production professional with over 20 years of experience and have worked with video duplication houses throughout these years. I personally hand-delivered and viewed the work of this duplication house for several months as I used them to duplicate betacam tape to both DVCAM and DVD. I brought approximately 8 jobs to them and over half of them they did incorrectly and I had to return and have them do it over again. For example, no audio on a duplication of a concert! The final error on their part resulted in the missing of an on-air deadline and that resulted in the end of my relationship with this business. This was my personal experience and is not "heresay". It is my professional opinion that this business, which performed less than half of the duplication jobs I requested correctly, is incompetent and I would not recommend them.

I dealt with a sales lady at event department for my event. It was a rather simple request for a price quote with a few legitimate inquiries. After three calls and two emails she did not respond. Usually production supply rental company responds with price quote fairly quickly, a lot of times within a few hours. After one entire week I called and asked about the price quote, she never even bother to apologize and simply said my computer has been down. Then she promised to send me a quote the next day but failed to do it. It's been a few days since and still no quote!!
