Reply to comment by rbastid in Cinelease Studios - Caven Point by JCwhatimsayin

Very well though out response while its mostly correct they do have the John wick deal - id say that was a extremely major picture. But for the most part you hit the nail on the head most of their schedule is 2-3 month commitments , overflow / local filming for L&O and lot of sound stage work for other productions.

It still does not mean its a hard sell. Alot of the people that work there including actors have started to prefer the locations over here - easier to get in and out of sometimes easier to get to all together.

​

also "Both their studios are also brand new, and their equipment rental division is pretty much non-existent in the area" Not true at all They have several massive facilities around here including one in Newark , with booms , cranes , lifts ,track carts and other specialized industry versions of all the above and they can barely keep them in stock long enough to do maintenance and send them back out . Again they did the entire productions equipment for the last and now the next john Wick .

Another thing i hope doesn't happen, as did in NYC at one point, is the novelty wearing off for locals (when it comes to location shooting)

A production at first has everyone excited, but if you've got your streets lined with trucks every day, and your commute is backed up, then people start to complain.

Jersey City is so new to these productions they should be able to move all around and not congregate in one area to shoot for long periods of time, otherwise we know the JClisters or that type will be protesting how a Production Assistant asked them if they can just wait 30 seconds for them to get a shot, and now all filming should be ended.
