About Miami

Miami is a gorgeous city that offers thirty-five miles of beach (all manmade, since the area where Miami lies was originally a mangrove). It is a top tourist destination, and, it is the southernmost city in the United States. A short ride will get you to the Florida Keys.

Miami was named for one of the Native American tribes that originally inhabited the area. With the advent of a railroad that carried passengers to the city, Miami became a popular destination. It is also a place that was a haven to those wishing to escape to America, and that cultural diversity is highly evident today.

Some areas of the city are difficult to navigate without some knowledge of the Spanish language. Miami is home to a unique Art Deco district, and don’t be surprised if you spy an alligator hanging out in an unlikely spot.

Production Space Options in Miami

A Miami production space will need technical equipment and excellent lighting to start. Experts in the area can assist in setting up your chosen locale.

• Audio/Visual Equipment Rental
  When carrying out a production, utilizing high-quality sound and video equipment is essential. Of course, budgeting may not allow for the purchase of all new equipment, but, renting this type of electronics is easy and much cheaper in Miami. In addition, you’ll find some of the most beautiful backdrops in the world in Miami’s backyard.
  
  
• Catering
  When hosting a production event, work hours can begin early in the morning and last into the wee hours of the night. A little planning ahead can ensure you and your colleagues have everything you need on site for long work days. Miami is home to a plethora of local catering companies who will bring the restaurant experience to you. Plus, most caterers offer menus for budgets both large and small.
  
  
• Private Car Service
  Miami is a bustling city; it is also a place where most locals depend on a personal vehicle for traversing the larger areas of the city. This can cause issues such as traffic congestion and delays in arrival times. Miami does have an efficient and safe public transportation system, but, it only reaches certain areas of the city. Hiring a private car service that offers point-to-point transportation can ensure you and your crew are where you should be on time, every time.

Pros and Cons of Production Spaces in Miami

Booking a Miami production space will take some thought. To narrow down the choices to the perfect locale, think about the pros and cons of each one.

Advantages

• Miami is highly diverse
  Miami has long been a haven for those looking to follow their dreams to America. People from Venezuela, Cuba, Brazil, Colombia, and Peru have re-settled in Miami. As a result, the diversity of Miami is like none other. It is often called the Latin capital of America.
  
  
• Great recreation for down-time
  In Miami, there are a wealth of activities visitors to the area can enjoy. Not only are there beautiful botanical gardens all over the city, but there are places to go diving in the crystal-clear waters. Those who enjoy architecture will enjoy the Art Deco district, and those who love the beach have thirty-five miles of sandy beach to explore.
  
  
• Public transportation is efficient and safe
  In Miami, there are three modes of transportation for those looking to get around the greater Miami area. However, keep in mind that very few transportation modes visit every neighborhood in the city. The Metrobus offers almost 1000 routes through South Florida, and the Metrorail is twenty-five miles of train routes that cross the city. The Metromover is a third option, and it travels most of the city.

Disadvantages

• Traffic
  Not only does Miami experience traffic jams, but locals will tell you there are a handful of drivers that make the city difficult to traverse at times. However, there is an efficient public transportation system that will help you navigate the city. For ventures outside the city, you may need to hire a private car.
  
  
• The weather
  Summers are hot and sultry in Miami, with temps reaching the upper 90s daily. However, fall and spring are also hot and humid. Winter offers pleasant temps on average of 75 degrees.
  
  
• Mosquitoes (as well as other bugs)
  The hot and humid year-round weather of Miami is conducive to the flourishing of insects – mosquitoes, the biting midge (also called “no-see-ums”), and the dreaded fire ant. Because the weather in Miami is warm most of the year, these bugs rarely disappear. Be sure to keep insect repellent handy in Miami.

Famous Locations in Miami

• South Beach and Lummus Park
  This is a free public beach in Miami, and the best time to visit is after 4 pm each day. Many videos, films, and television shows have been filmed here. The beach is easily accessed via a short walk.
