In the last century, so much of Hollywood’s production methods have changed. The technology used in motion pictures is well beyond what anyone could’ve imagined decades ago.
To make the best out of any movie, TV, or photo shoot, you need a historic Los Angeles soundstage like ours, which is fully equipped with everything. In this blog, we’ll lay out what Mack Sennett Studios can offer. Our location has been a timeless entertainment industry staple for many reasons.
Comparing the production used silent films that were developed in Mack Sennett Studios in 1916 to the type of equipment and technology needed to produce a motion picture in 2019, the production methods would be unrecognizable. Withstanding the development and keeping up with the pace of technological evolution is one of Mack Sennett Studio’s best features, and offering a sound stage that continues to expand it’s capabilities with state of the art equipment is how the studio has remained a timeless institution throughout all these years.

The Right Equipment
The proper equipment can make or break a production or other kind of Hollywood event. In the history of our studios, we used to house a shop that produced hand-painted backdrops. After that, our facility became a studio lighting and equipment company. Today, we offer equipment rentals at our soundstage. That way, you don’t have to bring in equipment from elsewhere. Instead, with our equipment rentals, you can have the equipment you need right at our facility. It’s one more way that we can make the process easier on your production. With our floor-level loading door, bringing the equipment in and out is simple as well.
Before Mack Sennett Studios existed in its current state, the studio once housed a shop dedicated to producing hand-painted backdrops, and then further down the timeline, the facility became a studio lighting and equipment company. Today, Mack Sennett Studios carries that history by providing equipment rentals at the soundstage for an all-inclusive production. Our facilities offer an extensive range and availability of equipment rentals beginning with grip and electric and production supplies, through an extensive variety of parts and pieces needed to fulfill your production. Alleviating the heavy lifting from loading and unloading the production, Stage 1, the 5,000 square-foot larger of the two stages, conveniently features a large elephant door and ramp to the street.
