Studio spaces are much more flexible than you might realise, so here are just some of the event and project types you might consider hosting in this sort of versatile space.
Fashion Shoot – Absolutely Fabulous. Gorgeous, darling! Studio spaces and fashion shoots are a match made in heaven.
Music Video – Creative Space. Directing a music video gives you a chance to take advantage of the creative possibilities that studio spaces provide and craft something truly unique. All-Inclusive Podcast Production Service is a great setting for memorable music videos.
Film Shoot – Action! A thriller, a rom-com, or a family saga—no matter the project, studio spaces offer the flexible setting and all the equipment you need to capture polished and refined moving images.
Podcast – Press Play. Recording the video of your podcast so listeners can watch along on YouTube? Video studios can offer the sound-proof setting and audio gear you need for a professional-sounding episode.
Product Photography – Stand out From the Crowd. A video studio is a versatile space, so you might want to take advantage of the lighting equipment and blank canvas backdrops to capture eye-catching product shots.
The best video studio for you will need to meet a host of requirements, but these are the key factors to look out for.
Look for a locale with equipment and facilities. The studio space will need to have all the equipment you need for a smooth and successful shoot. Light equipment, a green room, green screens, sound equipment, changing rooms—whatever various production needs you have.
Location can seal the deal. Look for a video studio that is conveniently located somewhere easy for your cast and crew to get to, no matter whether you're in London or anywhere else around the country. It should also allow easy access for any bulky equipment you need to bring to the shoot.
Pick the perfect price. Don't forget to keep your budget at the top of your list of considerations at all times. Make sure you only consider video studio locations that are well within your spending limit.
Is a video studio space the ideal choice for your next project? Consider the pros and cons carefully before you decide.
Advantages
The best studio spaces are fully equipped with all the video production tools you need for your production.
In many cases, studio hire includes not just the space itself but also lighting and sound equipment, backdrops, green screens, and more.
From simple home studio spaces to high-end professional set-ups, you can find options to suit all budgets on the Giggster app.
Disadvantages
With so many options to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming when trying to find the right studio space.
The best video studio spaces book out quickly, so expect plenty of competition from other filmmakers when trying to secure a venue.
Some large, professional video studios come with hefty price tags, so you may need more room in your budget than first anticipated.
No matter whether you're in East London, West London, North London, or anywhere else in the UK, large-scale productions require a whole lot of careful planning. Use the steps below as a checklist of key jobs to help you organise successful video shoots.
Calculate Your Budget – From studio hire to paying your professional cast and crew for a whole day or more of shooting, work out how much you can afford to spend on your film production.
Know What Shots You Need – Make sure you have a clear idea of what results you need to achieve with your video shoot and that you have a defined vision of what the end product will look like.
Choose a Video Studio Space – Find video studio spaces on the Giggster app and compare a wide range of options. Whatever key features you need in a studio space—be it lighting equipment, a green screen, a helpful studio manager, a central London location, natural light from large windows, high ceilings, logistical support, close proximity to public transport, or anything else—shop around to find the film studio that has everything you want.
Hire Cast and Crew – Camera operators, actors, make-up artists, special effects experts—whichever people you need for your production team, now is the time to hire them.
Sort the Small Stuff – Don't forget to hire any props or extra filming equipment you need for the day of the shoot. Catering is also important to ensure that all members of your team are happy and well fed.
Looking for ways to cut costs on your music video shoot or other creative production? These tips should help.
Set a realistic spending limit and aim to make it stick.
Work out your maximum spending limit, and then add up all of your expected filming expenses—make sure the two figures align before moving on to the next steps of the planning process.
Compare your options before you book.
Rather than choosing the first video studio you find that has all the space and equipment you need, shop around to find the most affordable rates. Video studios for hire on the Giggster app can be rented for as little as £14/hour.
Set aside a rainy-day fund.
When things don't go to plan, having some spare cash tucked away (but still included in your total budget) is a godsend. Organising a video, film, commercial, or fashion shoot—they'll all include surprises.
