The Best Events for a Video Studio Space in Jersey City

With the pick of 50 studio spaces on Giggster, you can spend some time finding the one whose environment will best complement your photography and video-making skills. And you can do all that without even getting off your couch!

Film/TV Show – Green Screen Backdrops. A large studio with a green room where your actors can get ready or a production studio with a huge green screen is often the best place to shoot a film or a TV show in this day and age when it's too expensive to shoot on location.

Advertisements – Clean and Straight Lines. A lounge with a formal office look and designated workspaces or a salon studio is the best place to shoot a commercial where you're trying to promote certain products. The space gives a more professional look to the products as well.

Culinary Shows – In Bright Kitchen Spaces. A bright and open kitchen in a penthouse room with spectacular views or a basement film studio with a kitchen is an excellent space for filming your cooking show. Just make sure that you bring your own cooking equipment along!

Music Videos – Vibrant Settings. An all-pink two-bedroom apartment that screams retro glam or a massive industrial event space with rustic wooden flooring and enough room for hundreds of cast and crew provides a distinctive look to a music video. The latter also holds up well to live performances that you can capture on film.

Yoga Tutorials – Serene and Instructive. A fitness studio with mirrors and a dance barre or a tranquil and unique yoga studio with large windows that allow in lots of sunlight are ideal venues for yoga or dance video tutorials. Make sure the lighting picks up the instructor and their moves well.

Jersey City Video Studio Location Must-Haves

There are some essential features that a professional studio simply must have. And then there are some things that can help you decide whether a particular space is well suited to your needs.

What is the environment like? Whether you want a dim but vibrant environment that recalls dance clubs and nights of fun or a serene and soothing ambiance that puts your cast at ease, pick according to what you need!

How much floor space does the studio have? There's no point in getting a small space for a huge cast and crew or a sprawling space for just five people! Neither of those situations will be helpful. Rather, make sure that your needs are in line with what the studio provides.

What amenities can it provide? From proper lighting to kitchen counters and comfy sofas, the equipment and amenities that a studio provides are just as important as the space itself.

Advantages of Renting a Video Studio in Jersey City

Planning to shoot a film or video content in Jersey City? Here are some pros and cons of the city that you need to know:

Advantages

• Jersey City and NJ in general have a long history of high-profile productions so you won't be hard-pressed to find a studio, highly qualified film crews, or even camera and equipment rentals.

• Despite rising costs, Jersey City is still cheaper than neighboring rival New York City. Your creativity will not be as stifled by a lack of funds here.

• New Jersey also provides incentives to make films and shoot in studios in Jersey City and these are processed much more quickly than they would be in NYC.

Disadvantages

• Like most other places, there might be permits and licenses to acquire, especially if photography and video filming in public places is on the cards.

• The best studios on Giggster tend to get booked out quite early due to high demand. So you'd better book fast!

• Unfortunately, chaotic traffic and lots of noise pollution are just the norm in Jersey City.

Planning Your Video Studio Shoot in Jersey City

Booking a studio is neither the beginning nor the end of the planning process. There are a ton of little things to do apart from that.

Define Your Goals – This is important not just to identify your audience and for marketing reasons but also to establish the kind of setting and studio space your video would need. If you know what you want, it's so much easier for all the steps to follow.

Map Out a Storyboard – Again, once you've got a script in place, working out a proper storyboard and identifying the actors you'd need is a very important first step. You've also got to mark out different locations and venues for the scenes.

Speak to Your Cast and Crew – A good producer and director is attentive to the needs of their cast and crew. If you're hiring people who live elsewhere, you've got to arrange for their accommodations. And in all cases, you've got to work around their schedules so there are no conflicts down the line.

Arrange for Food and Drinks – It's a nice professional touch to provide food and drinks during the days of the shoot, especially if you'll be working the whole day and through lunchtime. Hire a catering team to set up at the location, if possible, or get someone to run out and order lunch for the whole gang.

Saving Money on a Video Studio Space

Finally, you can have a great experience without blowing off tons of money. There are so many ways that a little forward planning can help you save!

Look for equipment rentals.

If you don't have all the camera lenses and grips and things that you need, there are plenty of rental companies where you can rent available equipment. Definitely no need to buy new stuff!

Employ local cast and crew.

If they're from Jersey City, they can go home at the end of the day and there's no question of flying them in and putting them up at a hotel.

Shoot in as few locations as possible.

A studio, particularly a green screen studio, is wonderful for this. Make use of the cycloramas and don't try to shoot in a dozen locations.
