9/8 Central Studios
Film a dozen locations before lunch. A 40×15 LED wall and a 10,000 sq. ft. video production studio, right here in the Upstate. Bring your own crew or hire our Emmy-winning team.
About the studio
With our 40×15 LED wall you can film your CEO on a Charleston rooftop at golden hour. Cut to Tokyo. Cut to the boardroom. Same morning, same call time, nobody got on a plane.
No permits. No weather. No gross green screen to clean up later. Move the sun between takes. Swap the city between setups.
A shoot that used to take a week on location takes a day here.
More about our studio
Why choose us
From a quick talking head to a full commercial on the LED wall, everything you need is inside one building.
Every set is built to change. Pull from our furniture and props, or bring your own and make it look like your brand owns the place.
Rent the room and run the shoot your way. Load in, plug in, and go. We'll show you where the breakers are and get out of the way.
Camera operators, gaffers, audio, lighting kits, cinema cameras. Use one operator for the wall or hire the whole unit, by the day, only when you need them.

LED wall explained
Film in hard to access places like hospitals, factories, tops of wind turbines, five-alarm fires, and more!
Worried about weather or finding the perfect background? Change the sun's position, avoid the rain, or adjust the scene in real time.
The world can change around you while you stay put, saving you time and ultimately money. Plus, unlike green screen, an LED wall doesn't need extra editing in post.
Plenty of parking, comfortable amenities, expert crew, and professional gear is all minutes from Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport.

9/8 Central Studios is at 212 Pelham Davis Circle in Greenville, South Carolina, at the corner of Pelham Road and Hollywood, just off I-85. Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport is one exit away, and the studio sits on the I-85 corridor between Charlotte and Atlanta, so regional teams can drive in and film the same day.
Yes. While we do have our logo and branding on the outside of the building, agencies can rent 9/8 Central Studios and hire our crew under their own name, and the client never needs to know we exist.
