Finding the Perfect Venue for Your Production

Our best films have come to life in some of the most fascinating production spaces: the Venetian Canals made the thrilling boat chase scene in "The Italian Job" more memorable, and most of NYC's landmarks appear in "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York." It shows how any city can spark creativity and add interest to a move, pitching that you must find production spaces that leave a lasting impression.

Audiences always resonate with seeing familiar places or well-known attractions they wish to visit on the screen. The breathtaking New Zealand scenery, and most notably the Fiordland National Park and the town of Matamata, brought "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" trilogies to life. Utah's Monument Valley appears in many screen productions, including "Forrest Gump" and "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom."

Besides the landmarks and attractions, filmmakers turn to warehouses, studios, private homes, and office buildings to produce hit TV shows and movies. Giggster can connect you with 23508 production facilities; explore our curated list to find a setting for your next production.

Choosing the Right Production Space

Production space rental is the best way to realize your creative vision in a space with optimal lighting and quality equipment. Giggster can match your project with a perfect production space, whether you want a loft-style location with high ceilings or a studio offering technical services.

• Film Studios – Films. Renting a film studio space is like leasing a serviced apartment or paying for a hotel room. It comes fully equipped and staffed and can produce any screen project from start to finish. A studio is suitable for companies or brands working on instructional videos and advertisements or producers with scripts and budgets who need help with everything else.

• Homes – Movie Sequences. Giggster has ranch homes, lake houses, beachfront properties, and penthouses that can provide a backdrop for family or everyday sequences. Stately estates, in particular, can offer several film spaces in one location, including sprawling backyards, garages, multi-room interiors, and even horse stables!

• Office Spaces – Production Offices. The production office is an integral part of a screen project. It handles administrative tasks, distributes documents(scripts, schedules, and contracts), and maintains the shooting schedule, among other things. You can set it up in the production space but rent a dedicated office space for a big-budget film.

• Cars – Driving Sequences. Want a '60s Cadillac Deville, a '50s Red Corvette, or a 2011 Gullwing Mercedes? Giggster has an impressive selection of classic and modern vehicles you can rent as props or for driving sequences. The options include party buses, marked police cars, and motorhomes.

• Standing Sets – Movie Scenes. Film studios with standing sets are production gold! These pre-built structures enable you to record everything from scenes in police stations and prison cells to hospital rooms and forensic labs.

Film Location Must-Haves

Finding a studio or film space to meet your production needs completes half the work. You should pick a video setting primed for shoots and equipped to offer crew services or post-production support. Here is a list of key factors to help you search for the perfect studio or video recording space.

Does the studio space have lighting equipment? Natural light is an asset in a studio space, but most studios also provide additional lighting. Having control over the lighting in a studio enhances the production quality. Also, unlike outdoor settings that rely heavily on light conditions, you can keep production going even in inclement weather.

What technical services does the production space offer? Studios also vary in terms of the support they offer; one studio might have a complete technical crew, while another might only provide camera, sound, or lighting assistance. Those with an in-house crew usually charge an additional fee for these services.

Does the studio offer post-production services? Post-production is as important as the first two production phases, and it's helpful if the studio can handle it. Again, every space is different; you might find a studio that can provide basic video editing, while another may even offer VFX and color grading.

Organizing a Production

Giggster can help you rent the right space that meets your production needs, but there's much more you'll need to do before the director can call the first shot on set. It would help if you made the production space film-ready, hired professional crew members, and got everyone up to speed on the video shoot process. Here is a checklist of things to do to help you handle every matter that comes from renting a space to recording.

Consider Different Studios – Studios differ in what you can achieve in each space. A sound stage is like a blank canvas, giving you space to construct custom sets. A film studio with standing sets simplifies the process by providing ready-to-use backdrops.

Create Clear Communication Channels – Clear communication keeps everyone on the same page, especially if you use multiple shoot locations and production will run for several days or weeks. Have a pre-production meeting with key stakeholders to discuss the timeframe, deliverables, and logistics.

Plan for Contingencies – Like life is unpredictable, anything can happen before or during production. Always have a backup space nearby, especially when recording scenes outside. Also, take up Giggster's optional cancellation and damage protection plans to safeguard your team in every shooting space.

Host a Wrap Party – Production is tedious and requires the combined effort of everyone who turns up at the shooting space to keep it going. Celebrate project completion by hosting a wrap party; Giggster can connect you to a fitting event space.

Production Expenses to Plan For

Giggster can help you lease an affordable production space at $18/hour, taking care of one way to save money. You can also rent the shooting space by the hour and maintain a small crew to keep costs down. Here are more ways to spend less without denting your pockets and stifling creativity.

Have a production budget.

A budget is your production's lifeline, and proper spending is your best bet to keep things moving as scheduled. It should be the first order of business when planning your next project, giving you itemized spending guidelines for different aspects.

Hire professionals.

While you'll spend more hiring professionals initially, the investment will pay off when you wrap production on time and achieve quality results. When staffing the video, sound, and light departments, go for the best.

Research production incentives.

Most cities offer tax breaks or free production licenses to attract international filmmakers. Research which incentives are available and whether your project qualifies.
