DIY Studio Use

NCM has made it easy for you to walk in and create both community or private projects.

Studio A is our large studio that can be used for photography, workshops, gatherings, meetings, screenings, and production (that does not require the use of NCM equipment). This studio is equipped with a green screen, some lighting, sound system, projector, screen, stage, tables and chairs. The studio has a maximum attendance of 100.

Studio B is our small production studio that can be used for photography, video and audio capture, small workshops & gatherings, and zoom meetings. It is equipped with a greenscreen, curtains, fixed lighting, a camera and audio equipment. Some equipment in this studio can not be moved. Capacity is 10 people.

Studio C is only avaialble with a NCM collaboration.

Studio D is our modular studio. This has several backdrops and some pre-hung and portable lighting. Use includes one camera and floor lighting, or you can bring your own. This space does not support an audience.

Our Lounge is a comfortable “livingroom style” environment, perfect for small gatherings. The lounge can be used for small meetings or as an entry spot for your events. It has restrooms, a small non commercial kitchen area, and plenty of seating.

Individuals wishing to utlize NCM equipment must be certified prior to booking. Only those certified can operate equipment. Staff is on site to help answer questions and troubleshoot but will NOT help with DIY projects (unless hired). NCM has right of refusal if projects are deemed inappropriate for the use of our community space. Failure to not show up for a booking may result in being billed for 2 hours of use (unless a 24 hour notice is given). Become a NCM Supporter and get a discount.

NCM Collaboration

Series Collaboration - NCM makes it easy and affordable to produce a quality video or audio series. Projects are pitched to the NCM team and a series contract is created based on the project’s needs. The contract is for 12 episodes and can extend longer than 12 if requested. We work closely with you to achieve the desired outcome for these.

These do have specific requirements they must meet in order for our team to take them on. See below for hiring NCM for private projects that exceed these requirements or if you are not looking to create a series.

Episodes can be no longer than 25 minutes in run time and must be done here in the NCM studio during our business hours. Working with you, the video projects are done as “live edited” shows. These must be non-commercial programs, shared with NCM for distribution. For more information, meet with our staff. For items that fall outside of this scope it would be an hourly rate (see below).

• $65 per episode* - Multi Camera “Live Edit” Talk show, Tutorial, or Informational Project

• $85 per episode* - Podcast or Narrative Audio Projects (prices may vary depending upon complexity)

Studio Concerts & Performance Recordings - NCM makes it easy to get a professional recorded performance done for music, plays, comedy acts, etc. This 4 hour block of time covers set-up, time for the performance, the tear down and crew to record a multi-camera live edited performance.

Live editing and recording are at the discretion of NCM. The final video and all content is made available to you shortly after the performance. You will need to provide a USB drive for us to do this. .NCM can include your performance in our distribution at no charge if you wish. This includes cable and YouTube.

The studio has a maximum attendance of 100 (seated or standing). Performers handle their ticket sales and check-in. The contracted entity is financially responsible for covering the NCM costs and any damages to the premises, as well as outside licensing fees (if any).

• $400* - Use and crew during or after hours. (4 hours)

Add on items:

• $150 - Professional Audio Engineer for music performers (3 hours)

• $50 - Streaming if desired
