About
You supply the script, we supply the gear! Level Up has all you need to make your next project come to life.
Shoot your project with a digital HD camera in the Video Production Studio, record sound in an Audio Production Studio, then use a Digital Creativity Workstation to edit your work to perfection.
Getting Started
In-depth lessons on video production are available free through our subscription to LinkedIn Learning. See instructions for studio equipment and software below, or on our Digital Creativity Workstations information page.
Making a Reservation
Getting access to the equipment you need is easy. Just reserve a Video Production Studio with our online booking system, set up your shots, and call “Action!”
Studios are available for .45, 1.15, or 1.45 hour reservations. Maximum occupancy is 2 people at a time. You can make a reservation for the same day, or the next day, but no further in advance. After you're through with your reserved studio time, if there's still availability you can make another reservation for the same day, otherwise, only one active reservation is allowed in one day.
