Studio hire questions
Check the details before you commit.
Does a lower day rate always mean a lower total?
Compare the same hours and inclusions. Equipment, preparation, repainting, overtime, parking or specialist support may affect the total. Ask each studio to state applicable taxes and extras in writing.
Is equipment included at Cineview Studios?
Bring your own equipment or request a package from our on-site catalogue. The quote confirms exactly which lights, modifiers, grip and support are included; do not assume the full catalogue comes with the space.
Can I record dialogue or an interview?
Tell us your sound requirements before booking and arrange a recce or sound test where needed. Do not assume that a blackout studio is a soundproof stage.
Can I see the studio before booking?
Contact the studio team to arrange a recce, check the relevant setup and talk through access, power and your production schedule.
How do I secure my booking?
Send your dates and production brief. Once availability, the quote and terms are agreed, full payment is required to secure the booking.
