Producer question
 

I have started to shoot a little bit o' original content

But I do not need a full time studio yet

Any tips/suggestions on how to go about getting a good studio for rent?
and cheap?


Kind regards

My thought is no. Unless you are doing shoots 3-5 times a week, I would say you do not need one. However, I think more importantly, it depends on your target sales.

I mean if you are looking to be a content provider like Markham then you may want to invest in one as soon as you can afford it. However, if you are working in amateur, you may want to hold off.

It really just depends on your business model, and what your short and long term visions for your company, and market, are.

:2 cents:

Where are you located?? If there are others in the area doing the same thing you maybe able to split a studio space. If you are in the LA/valley area let me know.

I am often shooting in LA/valley..might be interested in splitting a place with someone.. hit me up [email protected]


For the original thread: depends on your location..and budget. if you can afford then get your own place, or just use your house..

You could always post up a myspace account asking people to let you use their exotic homes as a place to shoot your photos and video. You'd be surprised at how many horny home-owners would jump at the chance to have you in their home shooting pictures of naked beautiful hotties! Keep it local so you don't have too far to drive when you go to do your shoots.

Another suggestion is that you can go rent cabins or exotic hotel rooms. It's really a matter of preference and budget.

If you rent out a studio space, you get caught up in spending money. That's a liability to any business. Do it free when you can.

I would definitley invest in some good lighting though.

Good luck! Hope this helps!

Thank you for your replies and tips!
