Studio Rules

Arrival & Departure

  • Do not arrive more than 10 minutes early.
  • A studio manager will be on-site to let you in the space and lock up when you leave.
  • If you are late, your session will still end on time.
  • If you are more than 30 minutes late to a one-hour session, you forfeit your session. Forfeited sessions due to late arrival are not refundable.
  • Your party must be fully vacated by the end of your rental period. If you are still in the studio beyond your scheduled time, you will be charged by the 1/2 hour ($37.50). Plan to wrap up your session at least 10 minutes prior to the end of your scheduled rental period. Larger productions may want to allow for 20-30 minutes for tear-down and clean-up.

While You’re In The Studio

  • Maximum of 15 people in studio. Have a larger group? Please contact us in advance for approval.
  • Music and voices are to be kept at reasonable levels
  • All paper backdrop handling must be done by a studio manager. Please notify them when you are ready to switch colors.
  • You may move items in the space to create specific aesthetics for your shoot. However, the studio must be cleaned and items put away and put back in their original position by the end of the rental period, or you will be charged a $25 cleaning fee. If you are moving a significant number of items, take a photo beforehand to ensure the space is returned to it’s original configuration.
  • Please only use the utility sink in the small bathroom by the entry door to the studio for cleaning paint brushes or removing body paint and other makeup.
  • NO glitter
  • NO party strobe lights
  • NO powders (e.g. flour, baby powder, colored powders, turmeric).
  • NO fire or open flames.
  • NO smoking or vaping of any kind is allowed in the building.
  • NO non-prescription or illegal drugs allowed on the premises.
  • NO one will be admitted who is drunk or under the influence of illegal substances.
  • Pets are allowed but must be kept out of any curtained-off areas of the studio. You will be held responsible for any damage caused by your pet with a minimum fee of $25 or the cost of repair/replacement of any damaged items — whichever amount is greater. If your pet causes injury to any person or other animal in the building, you will be held liable for any medical expenses the injured party incurs and may face legal action. Please indicate on the booking form whether you are bringing an animal so that the studio manager is aware.
  • Children are allowed in the studio but must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Children are not permitted to wander around unattended in the back half of the studio space where we have some private workspaces and equipment storage. Please respect our other tenants, equipment, and your child’s personal safety.

Rescheduling, Cancellations, & Refunds

Rescheduling

If you need to reschedule your shoot, please do so no later than 72 hours prior to your scheduled reservation start time. Rescheduled appointments less than 72 hours prior to your reservation start time will incur an additional $25 charge.

Cancellations

You may cancel your booking up to 72 hours before your scheduled reservation for a 50% refund. No refunds will be given for bookings cancelled less than 72 hours prior to your reservation start time.

Refunds

The maximum refund for any changes to your booking (requesting fewer hours than originally booked or cancellation) is 50% of the number of hours being removed from your booking time and will only be granted if the request is made 72 hours or MORE in advance of your booking start time. Under no other circumstances will any refund be granted. All refunds will be made using the payment account and method used to make the original reservation.

Accessibility & Parking

Parking

Limited on-street parking is available. You may need to load in to the building first and then park down the street or in the lot behind the building. Starting in March, 2024, the Weld Wheel building across the street is being demolished, which may affect parking availability.

Accessibility

The studio is located on the second floor of the building and is only accessible via stairs. If your party includes individuals with mobility issues that would require elevator access, we will not be able to accommodate you.

Privacy & Closed Sets

Cap Gun Studios is a 5,000 square foot studio space which has roughly 2,500 square feet dedicated to hourly rentals. We also have several bays at the back of the studio that are leased by a few other creatives who may be in the space at any time. There may also be a studio manager on-site to assist with questions about props, furniture, and to help change studio-provided paper rolls. While the space dedicated to hourly rentals will be wholly available to you and your party, the other tenants and studio manager may access the public restrooms and kitchenette which are adjacent and open to the shooting areas. If you require a completely closed set due to an NDA contract, please contact us before booking to make sure we are able to accommodate your request.
