Extension Cords

Filed under: Tips — @ 1:24 am

Ambient + Studio is big. 10,000 square feet of hardwood floor. Big. You can sprinkle 20 outlets around the rental studio space and still not have one within 30′ of another. Thats why I encourage clients using household-plug equipment to bring or rent lots of extension cords. We have a unique and versatile power distribution system here at the rental studio (see “Power”) but extension cords are a must.

Power

We’ve worked out a great system for getting electricity to wherever it is needed with the rental studio. There are two Camlok power drops in Ambient + Studio. Both are three-phase and carry 200 amps per leg. With 50-75 feet of 5-wire banded cable we can pull the entire feed to anywhere in the studio. With the addition of “lunchboxes” each leg can become a 10-outlet service exactly where you need it. That means you could have 30 outlets on 15 20-amp circuits anywhere in the studio. And that is from just ONE of the Camlok drops. Remember: the rental studio has two such power supply.

“Never Ever” featuring Young Jeezy

by Robot Films

Directed by Chris Robinson

For 20 hours on January 10, Ambient + Studio, Atlanta’s newest rental studio, became Ciara’s loft and personal night club for her video Never Ever. From the opening sequence in front of the defunct elevator to the beauty shot on the cyc-wall to the closing dance scenes, the crew and cast worked Ambient Plus’s hardwood floors from one end to the other. Though they held up beautifully, those floors saw more traffic and heavy equipment in that one day than in all shoots combined until then.

On January 11, 2009 Ambient + Studio rental studio played host to Robot films as they shot the video for Ludacris’ Nasty Girl. In a masterful example of efficiency, the entire video was shot in just over 12 hours. Director Chris Robinson, barely recovered from a 20-hour shoot the day before (See Ciara), kept things moving quickly. In the end, the crew was nice enough to leave nearly a case of whip-cream at the studio for the Stage Managers to try to explain to Management.
