BEST COMMERCIAL FILMING
STUDIO HIRE
LONDON - UK
Bring your commercial production to Cineview Studios in Greenwich. Plan product shots, talent, sets and lighting around a clear campaign brief, with time to capture the versions your edit needs.
A campaign brief. A practical shoot plan.
Start with the message, product and audience, then turn the creative treatment into a workable shot list. A studio day can cover hero product footage, demonstrations, talent-led scenes and campaign variations. Agree the setups, crew and delivery needs with your production team before booking the space. Cineview provides studio hire; directing, filming, casting, editing and campaign distribution are arranged separately unless agreed in your quote.
Product shots that support the edit
Plan clean product views, close details and hands-on demonstrations alongside the main action. Bring approved packaging and spare products, and allow time for styling, reflections, camera movement and resets. Check labels and product behaviour with the brand team before shooting.
Show the product in a useful situation
Decide what the audience needs to understand about the product. Rehearse the action, match props and wardrobe to the treatment, and keep continuity notes between takes. Discuss any food preparation, liquids or practical effects before arrival so the setup and cleanup can be planned.
Talent, eyelines and space for graphics
Share scripts and approved references with your director and talent. Mark the camera position and eyelines, rehearse gestures, and leave room in the composition for graphics where needed. Build wardrobe, hair and makeup time into the schedule; these services are not automatically included.
Capture the versions while the setup is ready
List the planned landscape, square and vertical uses before the shoot. Check framing with your team instead of relying on a tight crop later. Allow for alternative actions, expressions and clean background moments that give the editor choices, then review the essentials before changing the lighting or set.
Images illustrate commercial production and creative directions. Confirm studio facilities, kit and any additional services in your booking quote.

Your studio hire questions.
Can we bring our own equipment?
Yes. You can bring your own equipment at no extra bringing-kit charge. Cineview also has over 400 items of equipment in house. Hiring suitable kit from the studio can save time and transport costs. Explore our equipment list and contact us with your equipment requirements to confirm availability and prices.
Are dogs and children welcome?
Yes. Dogs and children are welcome, and Cineview is a dog-friendly studio. Please contact us before bringing dogs so we can discuss the practical arrangements for your booking.
Do clients need insurance?
Client insurance is not required unless the work involves fire or water. Contact us before booking any fire or water activity to discuss the necessary cover and practical arrangements.
Do we need to send shot lists or call sheets?
No. Shot lists and call sheets are optional; you do not need to send them before shoot day. You are welcome to share them if they will help the studio team support your plans.
Can we combine several commercial setups in one booking?
Send planned backgrounds, crew size and set changes before booking. Sharing a shot list is optional. Include preparation, lighting, filming, resets and pack-down in the hire period. A pre-light or build period may be useful; confirm the hours and costs in your quote.
Can we record dialogue for a commercial?
Tell us about your recording needs and microphone setup before booking. Discuss current sound conditions with the studio and your sound recordist; do not assume a soundproof stage or included audio crew.
Does studio hire include the production team?
Studio hire does not automatically include a director, camera operator, talent, stylist, sound recordist or editor. Bring your own production team or discuss particular support before booking. Equipment and services must be confirmed separately.
