And about that elephant in the room…there is a large elephant door and ramp, ideal for loading gear, cars, and any oversized pieces you might have in your production (though be sure to check with us before you actually drag in a real live Dumbo). Continuing along the animal theme, there’s a full catwalk on Stage 1, so you can prepare the perfect lighting and pull all the strings to put on a great show below. In addition to the bells and whistles on our sound stages, we also house professional recording studios. Studio A and Studio B both feature world-class recording and mixing rooms. And if you secure Studio B, you can even couple it with the sound stage for broadcast production. So let all audiophiles rejoice – you are living right around the corner from recording studios that are well equipped, budget friendly, and convenient. We are here for technical support, but remember, only YOU can tell if it needs more cowbell. We also offer our Woodshop as a rental. Adjacent to Stage 1, it was originally a workshop for woodworking, but now provides a semi-rustic space for everything from a photo or video shoot to a pop-up art gallery. And last but not least there’s Mabel’s, an exclusive and beautiful private bar/event space/hideaway within the studio walls named after Mack Sennett’s romantic partner and business collaborator, Mabel Normand. It contains thoughtfully restored found fixtures and furniture, which add to the overall ambiance and is sure to start conversations. Like a lot of the spaces at Mack Sennett Studios, it sets the scene for cool, creative ideas to emerge. Our studio has everything to help make your production, shoot, or event run smoothly. Contact us to book a sound stage or rent any of the aforementioned spaces within our Los Angeles facility.

And there’s always Mabel’s, tucked away like a secret speakeasy that takes you back to old Hollywood with its well-appointed hangout space, stage, and bar.

You’re probably aware that shooting on location can cause a myriad of issues regarding picture and sound quality. It’s pretty much impossible to control ambient noise when out and about in the world, which is why you might be considering an alternative to the outdoors. When looking for sound stage rentals in Los Angeles, it’s important to find the right fit. There are a lot of boxes to check and things to think about, including price, location, equipment, and more. We can help you achieve the best results by providing the perfect set-up for lighting and sound, a variety of sets, and the ideal space for shooting a music video or filming that commercial.
You can have confidence in Mack Sennett Studios, which has delivered stellar service in its capacity as a Los Angeles sound stage for over a century. We continue to bring the utmost in professionalism and offer an ideal space for filming. In fact, our facilities have added elements that provide an optimal experience for a variety of productions. Within our 25,000 sq. ft. of phenomenally flexible space, we house the two sound stages, complete with white cycs, gorgeous greenrooms, and all the tech specs needed to power your production. Always responsive to the needs of our clients, we cover our bases with the basics and go beyond to bring you a bit of that Hollywood magic in the midst of it all.
The white cyc (short for cyclorama) is a white curved wall used to create a look of unlimited or infinite space. You’ve seen it a million times, when Neo meets Morpheus in The Matrix, or in any given ad with a stark white background. It’s something you may need to create an ephemeral feel or just a clean way to put your talent front and center. These days it’s often used for photoshoots and music videos, but also works well as a backdrop for live streaming right from our studios.
If you’re in need of a green screen for your next production project, Mack Sennett Studios has got you covered. Our sound stages are conveniently located in the center of Silver Lake (in Los Angeles, CA) and we can set you up with everything you need. The white cyc in either sound stage can easily be converted to a green screen, and it has seen plenty of use in that capacity. We are more than happy to bring you the bluest of skies or the darkest of nights, as we paint the cyclorama any color of the rainbow you request. There are infinite possibilities for your photo or film shoot, and we aim to please.
