F11 Rentals’ production facility in Las Vegas—located on Escondido St near Harry Reid International Airport—features a 3-walled cyclorama stage (26’x 34’x 36′ with 18′ walls), a Producer’s Deck, and complete on-site grip and lighting packages.
1. Studio Logistics & Las Vegas Access
-
-
Drive-In Doors: F11 has large drive-in doors. As a result, you can drive cars and load heavy equipment straight onto the main floor.
-
Cold Air: Summer heat in Vegas easily hits over 100°F. To fix this, the stage has strong air conditioning to keep your crew, talent, and camera gear cool.
-
Client Deck: In addition, there is a large top deck. So, clients and directors can watch the live video feeds above the stage without getting in the crew’s way.

2. How to Light Cars on the Cyc Wall
| Lighting Gear | Vegas Studio Use | Why It Helps |
| Top Light Frame | Hang a large cloth overhead with bright LED lights. | First, it creates clean, smooth lines on top of the car. |
| Wall Bounce | Aim lights at the white cyc walls to bounce soft light back. | Next, it softly lights up dark spots and tires. |
| Black Flags | Place large black flags around the sides of the car. | Finally, it blocks unwanted extra light and makes colors pop. |
3. Custom Cyc Wall Painting & Stage Customization
-
Fresh White vs. Chroma Key: While a fresh coat of standard matte white ensures an pristine, seamless infinity background for commercial spots, high-end automotive productions often require specialized backdrop hues.
-
Custom Color Options: In addition, F11 offers on-site cyc painting services, allowing crews to transform the 3-walled stage into Chroma Green for visual effects composite work, high-contrast matte black for sleek moody shots, or custom brand-matched colors.
-
Seamless Turnaround: Because stage painting requires drying and prep time, arranging paint add-ons in advance ensures the studio floor is completely set before camera trucks roll up to the load-in doors.
4. Studio vs. Outdoor Shoots in Vegas
-
Beating the Dust: Although outdoor spots like the dry lake beds look cool, wind and harsh sun can ruin a shoot. In contrast, the studio gives you full control over light, wind, and heat.
-
On-Site Rental Gear: Furthermore, F11 rents cameras, lenses, and lights right on site. Therefore, you do not have to ship heavy gear across the country.
Ultimately, combining F11’s climate-controlled cyc stage with their in-house gear inventory provides film crews with the absolute control and efficiency needed to deliver flawless, high-end automotive visuals in the heart of Las Vegas.
