We are currently building out our library of studio equipment for rental. You should plan on bringing your equipment for now. You can store your equipment in the storage area during the shoot to keep it out of sight.
We’d love to hear what in-house equipment you’d like to see for future shoots.

Although Sunday Studios is not designed as a perfect sound stage, it is suitable for professional video shoots. The large open space absorbs sound well, and the building is surrounded by generally quiet residential streets.
Many commercial video shoots have been successfully conducted here. If you’d like to tour the space, contact hello@sundaystudiosknoxville.com.
