FAQ’S

Well, everything really. It features 1.9 pixel pitch panels by Absen, making it the highest resolution LED volume in Canada. It also comes with ARRI lighting grid, with 9 Orbiters and 11 Skypanels controlled by GrandMA3 and connected to Unreal Engine. This provides much more control over lighting than a typical LED panel ceiling. We would mention more things that make our LED volume special, but you’ll likely get bored reading it all (unless you’re a nerd like us), so come by for a tour instead!

Absolutely, and they look amazing! We have an existing library of assets and environments, and our team of Unreal Engine developers can create any custom-built environment to bring your vision to life!

Can't wait to already try it? Well, that makes sense. Shoot us an email outlining the details of your project, and we'll provide a quote.

We start off with understanding your project needs (production length, environments needed, crew size, etc). We then start preparing for the shoot, from assets and environments in Unreal Engine to stage props and equipment. You also need to provide "liability insurance" (this toy is very expensive, so we recommend to just be careful). Prior to the shoot, we always provide a "previsualization" of the project, and you have a prelight day to prepare for the actual shoot. On the day of the shoot, we let you do the magic, and our crew is there to assist you if needed.

The rental comes with full access to the LED Volume, ARRI LED lighting grid controlled by GrandMA3, and our Unreal Engine specialist along with our Virtual Production supervisor. On top of that, the entire studio is yours to use. From our cozy couches and a kitchen with an empty fridge (don't worry we'll fill it up before you come), to a cyclorama that you can use for gear set up, or to even shoot another scene. Note that any assets and environments for the LED Volume are not included in standard rental rate.

The ceiling is 20ft high.

Sure, there are dozens of big cycloramas around, but what makes ours special is not the cyclorama itself, but the tech around it. With ARRI LED lighting grid controlled by GrandMA3 you have more control over lighting than your own fingertips. You can also use BoltX or Bolt Jr+ with tracks to film (bet you won't find many cycloramas that have those). Our loading docks are literally 10 feet away from the cyclorama, so getting all the props in will also be a breeze. Want to get a lambo in for a shot? No problem, we have a separate dock for cars as well.

Cyclorama Stage rental comes with full access to the cyclorama, ARRI LED lighting grid controlled by GrandMA3, and our crew who will be there to assist you if needed. All stage props, paint jobs, and anything else you might need for your project are not included in standard rental rate.

Good try. You get access to the Cyclorama Stage if you are renting LED Volume, but not the other way around. You will only be able to use the Cyclorama Stage, but no other productions will be taking place at other stages during your shoot.

Maybe, depends if it's a full moon. Jokes aside, we can provide some great discounts for package rentals, shoot us an email and let's chat more about it.

Yes, we can paint it for you for an additional charge.

The ceiling is 20ft high.

Of course, it's a kitchen after all! Our Kitchen Stage is fully operational and equipped with top-of-the line appliances. We made sure you have everything you'd ever need to create culinary magic (and hopefully share a bite with us).

The island is movable, and we can fully customize the kitchen with props if needed. Kitchen colour and appliances cannot be changed.

Yes, and it would make for some spectacular shots! It can be used both with and without tracks.

There is enough space to set up the cameras and gear, but some equipment such as the Bolt Jr+ would not fit in the stage.

Shower Stage rental comes with full access to the stage, and it does not include any equipment (we do have great package deals available though, just shoot us an email). Our team will also be there to assist if needed.

Yes! We have 2 Bolt X operators, Adam and Conor. Adam is also a certified technician, and Conor is a certified technician and supervisor. You can bring in your own certified operators as well.

No, as much as we would love to let you use it for your production, we do not offer it for delivery at the moment. However, we do offer Bolt JR+ for delivery across Ontario. The best way to know if Bolt X becomes available for delivery is to sign up for our newsletter and stay tuned for updates!

Bolt X is the latest motion control robot released by MRMC. It comes with a longer arm reach and almost twice the camera speed (9.7 m/s vs 5 m/s). It provides much greater flexibility for capturing shots at high speed. You can read more about how awesome Bolt X is on the MRMC website.

Bolt X rental comes with the Bolt X itself, as well as one of our operators. Note that Bolt X can only be used inside the studio. We can also provide great package deals for renting stage, camera, lenses, grip and lighting along with Bolt X.

At the moment, only Phantom Flex 4K is available for delivery across Ontario, and all our other cameras are available for in-studio rental. The best way to know when other cameras become available for delivery is to sign up for our newsletter (no spam, we promise).

Eager to try them? Send us an email briefly outlining your production needs and we'll provide you with a quote. If you plan on renting multiple pieces of equipment, we'll throw in one of our package deals as well!

We'll be very sad, and we don't like to be sad. This is why we require a liability insurance for every rental. We encourage you to be careful with the equipment, and to never hesitate and ask our team for help if needed.

Standard camera rental does not include lenses, and you have to rent them separately. But don't worry, our pricing is great. Shoot us an email and we'll work out a quote for you!

Of course! We have the MovieTech Kirin Duo Jib attachment for the Magnum Dolly.

Yes! We have 4 operators certified to work with Bolt JR+, and they're awesome guys! Every motion control rental includes one of our operators.

Yes, and that's what makes it special. Unlike the Bolt X, Bolt JR+ is very compact and easy to set up. We are able to deliver it anywhere in Ontario with our grip truck, and its small size also makes it ideal for shooting in tight areas.

You can think of Bolt JR+ as a little brother to Bolt X. It is smaller and lighter, which makes it easier to set up and move around. It's a perfect choice for shooting on-location and in smaller spaces. Despite its size, Bolt JR+ is still incredibly fast, and just like Bolt X, it can be used both on and off tracks. Its movements are also programmed using Flair, MRMC's premier motion control software.

Every Bolt JR+ rental includes the cinebot itself, along with our certified operator for an additional cost. Tracks can also be provided on request. For on-location delivery, delivery fee also applies and varies depending on the location.
