Booking film studios in Miami

When scouting locations, we recommend you check out the venue before booking to make sure it fits the idea for your project. The locations we offer at Tagvenue are as true to the photographs as they can be, but it’s still good to make sure your vision matches the location (that’s a small pro-tip before we start). Perhaps you’ve scouted a couple of places, but you’re still unsure what you want to book? Why don’t you take a look at some of our suggestions for finding exactly the studio that you need:

• Budgeting. As always, the first and most important thing to decide on, is the maximum price you’re willing to spend on your studio rental. You don’t want to be lusting over filming locations only to be crushed by the reality that they are way above your spending limit. Have you thought about getting a sponsor, or applying for a scholarship or grant before your project? Perhaps there’s someone who’s willing to invest in your production - filming is not an inexpensive industry after all. If you’re a film student or just an enthusiast, then you might have a pretty good chance at getting some extra money towards your production. And if there’s absolutely no way, then you always have the option of crowdfunding, which is a great way to raise your budget… Especially if the idea gets spread around the internet!
  
• Date, time and availability. Figure out a few dates and times when your whole team will be available. The good news is that if you have a whole film crew and actors who are on the job, you’re going to have an easier time getting everyone together for the film shoot. The bad news is that if you’re planning a side project, and you have (for example) unpaid actors, it might be hard to get everyone together on the same day. It’s a good idea to have a backup plan in case someone decides to back out. Other than that, make sure the venue is ready to take you at the date and time you decide to book it. We recommend renting the place some time in advance, especially if it’s one of those popular venues which everyone wants to snatch for themselves. Don’t be that person who leaves everything until the last minute!
  

• Equipment, props and management. Do you have your gear ready? Do you need to rent some additional equipment, too? Have you got your cameras, tripods, lighting, etc. ready? Do you need reflectors, cables, backdrops, or any other equipment on standby and ready for the shoot? Check out this filmmaking equipment checklist, just in case there’s something you might have missed. For your film shoot, you will more likely than not need some props. Have you thought about what your actors will be wearing, or if the script mentions any items they might be holding? There is so much to remember here that we sincerely hope you’re not the only one managing the situation. Having an experienced crew, or even a few people to help out with bits and bobs is crucial for you not to lose your head during the production. Check in with the people responsible for the script and production, and make sure you’re ready to go with the gear.
  

• Studio accessibility and amenities. Whether its proximity to transportation, or the fact that the venue space is on the first floor (so you won’t have trouble carrying heavy equipment). Having easy access to the studio is sometimes one of the most overlooked aspects, but it’s crucial to make things run smoothly. And of course if you’re spending all day in the studio then you might want to have a kitchen inside to prepare something hot to eat. Little things make the overall experience just that much better - after all, you’re paying, so you can have some demands!

Ready to get things going? There’s a few points to remember, but you’ll surely do just fine. We’re rooting for your next production! Now get scrolling and find the perfect film studio locations here in Miami - they’re just waiting to be discovered!
