Chicago Studio Rental for Small Crews with Big Ideas
Looking for Chicago studio rental options that won't require a second mortgage? Our intimate video and audio studio rental space located in Ravenswood, Chicago was built for people who need professional results without the pretentious price tag or attitude that comes with a lot of production studios that are available.
We're not trying to be everything to everyone. What we are is a solid, versatile video and audio production space in Chicago designed by people who actually make content for a living. You know, the kind of people who understand that sometimes you just need a clean backdrop and good sound without someone charging you extra for a sofa designed by Frank Lloyd Wright's nephew.
Where our studio may not be "the one"
You're planning something that requires a crew of twenty, multiple elaborate sets, or enough space to park a small aircraft. We're honest about our limitations - this is a boutique Chicago studio rental space, not a warehouse.
What Projects Our Studio is Perfect For
Our Chicago video production studio shines when you need a controlled environment without every bell and whistle. We've transformed this space into everything from a restaurant setting to a child's bedroom to a corporate office. The movable sound walls mean we can configure the space to work for your specific needs.
Interviews with simple backdrops
Small commercial shoots
Recording Audio & Video Podcasts
Voice-over recording
Stop motion animation
Tabletop video shoots
Why choose Big Teeth over other Chicago studio rental options?
This isn't some random space that happens to be available for rent. We designed every aspect of this studio because we use it ourselves. The acoustics work, the gear package scales to match your project, and the layout flows the way actual productions need it to.
Built by Content Creators for Content Creators
When you rent our studio, you can choose to keep the train running on your own or request a dedicated person managing the space that day. No hunting around for the person with the WiFi password or figuring out why the lights won't turn on.
We can help, or we can get out of the way
We start with just the space rental to keep costs reasonable, but our production equipment is available when you need it. In most cases if you want the gear our crew operates it. But if you've got a good track record or a great referral we can let you play with our toys for a fair price.
Chicago Studio Rental With or Without Gear
We maintain a space that doesn't condone hate of any kind. Everyone should be able to focus on creating great content without worrying about the environment they're working in.
Safe and Professional Environment
What's Actually Included
The Space Itself
450 square feet of versatile, soundproofed affordable Chicago studio rental space with movable sound walls, sitting within our 2000 square foot office. Multiple backdrop options, green screen capability, and a layout designed for efficient small productions as well as being a great podcast recording studio.
Practical Amenities
Full kitchen with refrigerator/freezer, convection oven, microwave, and sink for catering or just keeping your crew fed. Private bathroom with two toilets because nobody wants to wait in line. WiFi and ethernet connections that let you surf with speed.
Location Benefits
Free street parking in Ravenswood, just two minutes from the brown line. Both freight and passenger elevators, so you're not hauling gear up three flights of stairs. Conference room available for pre-production meetings or client presentations. Our creative studio space puts you minutes from downtown Chicago while avoiding the chaos and cost of Loop-area rentals.
The Intangibles
Because we've been active members of the Chicago production world for nearly 20 years, we know what's a must have vs. an unnecessary amenity that just ends up costing more. Through our own production and audio studio needs, we've made it the best combination of quality and cost possible. Plus, you're supporting a certified Women Business Enterprise.
Equipment and Crew Options
While our Chicago studio rental starts with just the space, we can scale up support based on your needs and budget. Our lighting package works great for interviews and simple commercial work. We've got camera equipment that captures professional quality without the complexity of larger setups. Audio gear that ensures your sound matches your visuals.
