Palm
Springs, Fla. (August 15, 2010) – G-Star Studios at G-Star
School of the Arts for Motion Pictures and Broadcasting is proud
to announce the completion of their new Sound Stage, now the
newest and largest sound stage in Florida, a great addition to
G-Star’s motion picture production complex of over 100,000 sq.
ft. The entire movie studio and new sound stage are offered to
filmmakers for no charge.
The new Sound Stage is the most technologically advanced sound
stage in the world. It was constructed and engineered as both a
Sound Stage for feature films, TV productions, commercials,
music videos; and as a theater for “live” performances,
concerts, world premiere films and Red Carpet events that will
hold an audience of 1150. It measures 80'x120' and 35' to the
overhead grid.

The new Sound Stage is the same size as the sound stages in Los
Angeles on which Jurassic Park III and the Incredible Hulk
movies were made; and where Two and a Half Men and Desperate
Housewives are produced today.
The nine custom made A/C units handle over 500,000 cubic sq. ft
of space and turn on and off immediately on "action" and "cut".
The dynamic smoke evacuation system allows for raging forest
fire scenes with smoke evacuation in two minutes; and the stage
has quick release drains for rain/water/hurricane scenes with
water tank depth up to 25'. The building carries 3200 amps of
power with accommodations for more power and satellite feeds.
With 35 feet to the grid, it offers Hollywood studio height to
"fly" in.
“We have created our own Film Incentive to attract Feature
Films, TV productions, Commercials, Music Videos and more by
offering this technically advanced Studio and facilities at no
charge for production companies.” For more information and
criteria for eligibility, contact Greg Hauptner (561-386-6275,
greghauptn@aol.com) or visit www.gstarstudios.com.
The first production to take place in the new G-Star Sound Stage
is a Music Video that is being financed and produced by the
G-Star Arts and Education Foundation starring Kriyss Grant
(G-Star School of the Arts alum and first back-up dancer chosen
by Michael Jackson for “This is It” Tour) for his new song “Give
U What U Want”. Featured in the music video is Ashley Everett
(dancer in Beyonce’s Single Ladies, Sweet Dreams, and Ego; seen
in Beyonce’s Cover Girl commercial; singer and dancer on stage
with Beyonce and Tina Turner). “What a perfect beginning to
feature a very talented alumni, Kriyss Grant, as the first music
video production in the new G-Star Sound Stage”, says Hauptner.
Next up is a major CBS reality show which has booked the Sound
Stage out for four months. Announcements on this new show will
be presented soon.
