Jersey Standing Set Studios
The modern white kitchen is ideal for cooking shows, product ads, and movies. It comes with a working sink, stove, oven, microwave, and a window that can be illuminated to simulate day or night. When not in use, the island is mobile and features a functioning propane grill. Everything you’d need to cook is provided in the kitchen, including pots, pans, dishes, cutlery, cutting boards, and more. When opened, the refrigerator light functions, but it is only a prop and does not maintain a cold or frozen temperature. The craft room refrigerator keeps all perishables for your photo shoot at a cool temperature.
Jersey Standing Set Studios Kitchen FAQ
What is the Jersey Standing Set Studios Kitchen?
This is a dedicated kitchen set situated within a fully equipped commercial kitchen facility in New Jersey. It offers the realism of a residential kitchen with the convenience of a controlled, professional studio environment. Ideal for productions that need flexible sets close to NYC without the overhead of Manhattan-based studios.
How does this kitchen differ from the other kitchens on the site?
Unlike stylized loft kitchens or modern designer spaces, this kitchen is part of a broader, established setting. That means it's designed to look like a real home kitchen, not a showpiece. It's ideal for scripted content, indie films, web series, and commercial shoots looking for a lived-in, cinematic feel.
Is this a functioning kitchen or just for show?
This is a staged kitchen used for filming only. Although it appears authentic on camera, it is not designed for actual cooking. It provides the look of a traditional kitchen without the risk or complexity of operating appliances during production.
What types of productions are best suited for this space?
The kitchen works well for narrative film scenes, cooking-themed dramas or comedies, branded content, commercial spots, and interviews. It blends into a home environment, making it great for scenes that require emotional realism or storytelling within a domestic setting.
Can I film in other parts of the standing set facility?
Yes. The kitchen is part of a larger studio that features additional standing sets, including living rooms, bedrooms, offices, and more. You can block out scenes across multiple sets, saving time and money while keeping the entire production under one roof.
Is sound recording feasible in this location?
The facility is designed for production and offers quiet, controlled conditions ideal for recording clean audio. It is not a soundproof stage, but many crews find it peaceful enough for interviews, dialogue scenes, and commercial voiceover shoots.
What lighting options are available?
The studio offers production lighting support and power access points, making it easy to set up your rigs. Since it's an indoor standing set, all lighting must be brought in. The space is pre-wired and compatible with most common lighting configurations.
How accessible is the location for crew and gear?
Located just across the river from Manhattan, the Jersey City Standing Set Studios Kitchen is easily accessible by car or van. There are street-level loading and parking options nearby, making it an ideal location for productions that require a smooth and efficient setup process.
Is there space for video village or client monitoring?
Yes. The facility features are suitable for video village, client holding, makeup, wardrobe, and staging. The layout is flexible and production-friendly for both small and large crews.
