Spring Studios

Spring Studios is a commercial production and event complex founded in 2008, operating major facilities in New York City and Los Angeles and serving the film, television, fashion, music, advertising, and technology industries. The company provides studio space, production services, post-production, and event hosting for high-profile clients across Madison Square Garden, Times Square, Hudson Yards, and entertainment districts. Spring Studios has been used by entities associated with Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, Netflix, and Amazon Studios.

History

Spring Studios was established by Jason Schlossberg in 2008 amid growth in branded content and digital media for clients such as Conde Nast, Vogue, The New York Times, and Rolling Stone. Early projects connected the company to advertising agencies like Wieden+Kennedy and Droga5 and production companies including Partizan and RSA Films. The firm expanded operations as demand from broadcasters such as HBO, NBCUniversal, and ViacomCBS increased, and it later partnered with corporate events run by Google, Apple Inc., Facebook, and Microsoft. Growth included collaborations with fashion houses Chanel, Gucci, Prada, and Versace for runway presentations and campaign shoots. During the 2010s Spring Studios hosted promotional events tied to Met Gala, Fashion Week, and music activations aligned with Coachella, SXSW, and Lollapalooza.

Facilities and Locations

Spring Studios operates purpose-built soundstages, production offices, screening rooms, and event venues in high-profile urban locations such as SoHo (Manhattan), Chelsea, and West Village in New York and a facility in Los Angeles. Their New York flagship included large ground-floor stages near Hudson Yards and administrative spaces proximate to Penn Station and Chelsea Piers. Facilities accommodate equipment from providers like ARRI, RED Digital Cinema, Panavision, and Avid Technology. Technical infrastructure supports workflows that interface with post-production houses such as Technicolor, Deluxe Entertainment Services Group, and boutique facilities near Tribeca Film Festival venues. Backlot-adjacent logistics and proximity to airports such as John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport enabled rapid turnarounds for touring productions from Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, and Bruno Mars.

Services and Productions

Spring Studios offers studio rental, stage management, grip and electric services, camera packages, set build, production coordination, casting support, wardrobe, hair and make-up, and post-production finishing. The company worked on music videos for artists represented by Atlantic Records, Columbia Records, Capitol Records, and Republic Records and provided spaces for episodic television production for series distributed by Hulu, Paramount+, Disney+, and Peacock (streaming service). Advertising campaigns produced at Spring connected brands such as Nike, Adidas, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Samsung Electronics, Sony Corporation, Toyota, and BMW. The venue hosted live-streamed concerts and hybrid events produced with partners including Live Nation, AEG Presents, and C3 Presents. Post-production services supported color grading, visual effects supervision, editorial suites using software from Adobe Inc., Avid Technology, and Blackmagic Design.

High-profile clients included fashion publishers Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and GQ for shows and shoots; record labels Def Jam Recordings and Interscope Records for album rollouts; and studios such as 20th Century Studios, Columbia Pictures, and Paramount Pictures for promotional content.
