The outcomes from studio shoots are always impressive. It’s amazing that with a blank canvas, a little creativity, and the right team, it’s possible to produce such incredible and varied results. The need for finding the right space to record your video or take your photos, with adequate equipment to support your project, will be fulfilled when you find the right studio to rent. Explore the following options for photo and video studios in Bali; let’s delve into them!
Balism Studio
One of the newest studios in Bali, the Balism studio is big enough that you can shoot a vehicle in it, and it has the right access to do so. It you don’t want to drive your car through the hanger doors and into the studio then they have a bunch of parking at the front too ;). The studio also has a motorised truss, a wet set studio and their own rental equipment for any photo and video shoots. Our media production company, Overcrank Media, has done a couple of projects, so we have first hand experience with the team and the venue. The space is amazing with a cyclorama wall and floor that’s so immaculately clean you could eat off it. They have all the toys you need to get your creative juices flowing!

Project X Studio
Project X Studio is large enough to work for both photo and video shoots. It’s located in Tibubeneng, Bali. Project X offers a spacious clean studio with a a few bits of equipment to help you get your shoot going. The Overcrank team have shot there quite a few times and love the team and space. If you’re coming for video we suggest chatting with them about what kit they have, as you might need to bring some extra items to support you production concept. The Studio has enough space to handle a medium size production crew, and it is a good studio for anyone who wants to do a simple yet professional looking shoot. Oh and they have some parking at the front so you don’t need to haul all your gear for miles.

Genesis Creative Center
Genesis Creative Center is a good place to film, host a webinar or record a video podcast. Their podcast studio is a good standard, they have a separate recording studio with booth for audio only and they can provide a technician at a reasonable cost. Their main studio for photo and video is equipped with soundproof foams, lighting, and props. The Overcrank Media team have used the place a handful of times and its a good go-to for interviews. Due to the small size of the studio it’s mostly good for small product shoots with a light team. Photographers will find it adequate for some fashion concepts but again with a small team. They have a partnership with Pondok Lensa a popular rental house on the island. So the studio come with some lights, a low-end mirrorless camera and some basic lenses, all as part of the rental package. The gears is enough to get a basic shoot off the ground but anything more than that and you will need to bring your own stuff or arange rental from them. Lucky Pondok have a huge range of kit on the books and they should bring it to the studio for you, free of charge, saving you a trip to the store. They have plenty of parking and it’s not too far from the studio.

Lighthouse Studio
Lighthouse Studio offer a range of professional studio spaces that you rent depending on your needs. We really like this space as each studio is a professionally acoustic treated space, they have parking and a restaurant with a bar. With more of a video focus, each studio is designed for different types of video shoots, catering for video podcast, webinar, workshops, live streaming etc. They have some in-house crew however we always bring our own team. Once again the Overcrank Team get around a fair bit and we have used their large studio for a few projects with great results. They have a few extra lights, stands etc you can uses to top up your production as needed and the space is suitable for a small to medium size team. The cyclorama wall is a bit small, which means you’re limited for angles on B and C cam but that shouldn’t stop you from giving it a go.

Movie Studio Bali
If you’re looking for more of a classic large space for your video and film production, Movie Studio Bali (aka MSB) is the right place for you. MSB has the biggest studio in Bali, and their space accommodates a bigger production crew, so your production house has nothing to worry about if things are on the bigger size. As with all these types of studios it’s in the middle of nowhere. This is great for sound and the time you need to focus but can make daily travel a bit hard. MSB have accommodation near the studio and their well seasoned staff can help you with just about anything from props to kit and even catering. Movie Studio Bali also comes with a huge selection of the latest equipment which is available to rent. They have an art department that can do set designs, custom wigs, makeup and special effects makeup as well as prosthetics for your film production. The Overcrank Media crew shot there for 6 days and felt welcome from the moment we arrived! MSB is an amazing spot and combined with their equipment and team it’s a go-to for larger productions.
