Wow Todd, thanks a lot for the response! This will help me a lot..

As you realize I don’t know much about lighting. I’m mostly a music producer but I want to get into the photo/video world and also rent this space to other people that could needed. I will hire for sure a DP or gaffer to come in and look at the space when the studio is built already. That’s a great idea!

I’m just looking for some feedback and orientation to do something professional from the beginning and not spend money in something that wont be useful.

1) So I don’t loose much height, can I use a grid light very close to the ceiling? What kind of grid you recommend? What would be the minimum height from floor to the grid to be professional. Does it have to be a GRID or could be just some log pieces of metal that passes in some parts of the ceiling?

2) Yes, sorry, I was talking about the “seamless paper rolls”. Is it good to go with the widest ones? What would be that width.. Which is the most stable and best system to hang this kind of rolls?

3) I forgot to mention that this is in a basement, so no cars will get in there ???? Is it possible with your experience to mention what kind of projects would be suited for this kind of studio and equipment with the seamless paper rolls, the grid on the ceiling and the drapes? On this way I can focus more on those ideas and investigate what needs people have around here.

4) For what kind of projects you use the drapes instead of the “seamless paper rolls”? When is better to use those.. An L shape could be a good idea or a C if possible. The drapes get dirty or are a problem at some point?

Is it possible to attach something so you see the shape of the space? Is not a complete rectangle.

Thanks!
