NEW YORK: YouTube will open a production studio in New York next year, the company announced at VidCon on Thursday. The company complements similar facilities in London, Tokyo and Playa Vista, where YouTube opened a 41,000-square foot production, post-production and community event space last November.
YouTube conceived the spaces as production hubs for its creators to use state of the art equipment at little cost. This applies to creators big and small. Freddie Wong, who spent 1.2 million on his most recent project - the second season of "Video Game High School - used the production space for much of the shoot.
