Renting a studio for videos or photos comes with many advantages. After all, you would be able to shoot excellent photos or film some amazing videos for a fraction of what it would cost to build your own studio. However, you need to know what to look for when looking for a video and photo studio rental to ensure that you are getting exactly what you need for your project. So here are some things that you should know when you are looking for a videography and photography studio rental.
1. Know your own requirements
This is one of the most crucial factors in getting a good studio space. Not all studio spaces are the same, and in order to find the right one for you, you should be aware of your own basic requirements. For example, if you have complex lighting needs, you will need a studio with a lot of different lighting equipment.
2. Price
Studios often offer a number of different packages. When choosing a studio, you should consider the total package rate along with your requirements to figure out which studio will give you the best value for money. You shouldn’t just choose a studio because the price is low—you should consider everything it offers as well.Â
3. Studio size
This will depend on what type of photography or videography you will be doing. If you are only planning on taking portraits or headshots, you don’t really need a large studio. However, if you have a lot of crew and a rather extensive video production planned, you might want to consider a wider space.Â
4. What equipment do they provide
Some studios are capable of supporting big-budget films while others will simply provide you with basic lighting and an empty room. Knowing what the studio provides can help you organise your own equipment and can even help save your budget if they offer all the equipment you need for the shoot. Check for their sound equipment, lighting, cameras and gear, along with their available backdrops.Â
5. Location
The location of the studio matters in a number of ways. For one, it is important that the studio is easily accessible. While this doesn’t necessarily affect the quality of the content you produce, it can affect whether all the people involved can reach it easily. After all, the last thing you want is for people to get late to the studio because it is hard to find or not easily accessible through public transport, thereby extending the hours you use the studio which can result in costly overtime fees. Secondly, if you also require some exterior shots, it can be helpful if the studio is located somewhere that offers scenery that you can shoot in front of. It is also helpful if the studio is located in an area where people will easily be able to get some food.
6. Reputation
You should always ask around before deciding to get a studio for rent. However, keep in mind that some studios do not openly promote their space, as they want to keep their audience to professional and serious productions. Therefore, your best bet is to ask fellow videographers, photographers or industry professionals who they would personally recommend, and see whether they fit in with your needs.Â
