Rental Spotlight

Ariana Grande

The rich history and artistic energy permeating the space made our Grand Hall the perfect shooting location for the music video for Ariana Grande’s first solo single in nearly four years, the dance floor-ready “yes, and?” Production company London Alley made excellent use of The Loft for NYCAP3D’s 3D photogrammetry camera rig, which was featured in the song’s lyric video.
