The Space
A walk through the floor, from the open shooting space to the kitchen, the prop rooms, and the client lounge. The bank bones are intact on purpose. Everything within them is strategically designed to complement production needs.
Inside
Our spacious and open main floor features both southern and eastern facing walls of floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as beautiful, wood beamed, vaulted ceilings. You can shoot against the abundant natural light, or for those who prefer to create their own sunlight, utilize our inventory of strobe and continuous lighting kits. MADFUN has room for multiple sets, and multiple lighting scenarios to shoot at the same time.
Food stylists love our commercial kitchen. It has everything they could possibly need, from small appliances, utensils and tools, to stainless prep tables, double-door fridges and freezers, to a baker's oven, sink, and dishwasher. MADFUN is even equipped with a meat slicer and our own soft-serve ice cream machine. We understand that food has the shortest lifespan of any product in commercial photography, and we took every efficiency into consideration when designing our kitchen.
In-house shop for custom set builds. Whether your production environment requires a three-window wall or working plumbing, MADFUN has the tools and the know-how to get it built and on set for shoot day. Saws, nail guns, screw guns, painting supplies, and all the works. If you concept it, we can build it for you.
Our ever-growing prop inventory of furniture, soft goods, kitchenware, and home goods provides a plethora of options for any art department. To keep your talent comfortable and happy between shots, MADFUN offers dedicated wardrobe and dressing rooms, alongside a beauty suite featuring multiple hair and makeup stations to ensure everyone looks their best before hitting the set.
MADFUN features a comfortable lounge directly off set, a private "tiki lounge" housed in our converted bank vault, a spacious conference room, and multiple client offices. These spaces are perfect for remote reviews, agency calls, or simply relaxing between setups. Plus, our lightning-fast Wi-Fi is strong enough to tether your entire production.
MADFUN is a single-level building featuring double-door access at the front and another in the rear of the building. We offer multiple on-site parking lots, ensuring an easy load-in for grip trucks, food deliveries, and art department drops. Because there are no stairs, freight elevators, or tight hallways to contend with, your load-in will always be completely seamless.
