PARKING

Two large, walled, private parking lots (16,000 sq ft each with 65 total spaces)

SOFT HOLDS

You are welcome to e-mail to request the availability of a date. As our space is available to Instant Book on a number of platforms, we do NOT offer holds of any kind until a 30% NON-REFUNDABLE deposit and your signed CONTRACT and paperwork is received.

If you are not able to make the full hold yet, we will be happy to put your dates on the calendar while your Production settles. We will do our best to notify you asap of a date challenge. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to inform you before the other person books.

POWER

Our Stage has 200amps of power for your use. Each stage also has multiple 20amp edison circuits scattered throughout the walls.

If renting Lighting from us, your Stage includes a 3-Ton Grip & Distro package which will allow you to access the heavy power.

ADDITIONS ON THE DAY

You are welcome to make small additions to your rental package on the day of the shoot. However, it is strongly recommended to reserve your equipment in advance. Additions will take time to approve, check inventory, QC, and bring over.

Crew will sometimes want something “immediately”. Please speak with your crew about how you’d like to handle additional items. We will do our best to find someone to approve the cost, however, sometimes that is difficult.

MULTIPLE STAGE USE

Only one client is allowed to book our studio at one time. You can opt to book a single-stage package or the whole studio.

ANIMALS

Filming animals and service animals are allowed. We do not recommend bringing personal pets but do not disallow it. Animals should be kept off of the furniture. Production is responsible for any loss and damage.

OVERTIME

Overtime is billed at $250/hour. Each partial hour will be billed at a 1/2 hour and rounded up.

PAYMENT

A 30% Non-Refundable Deposit is required to secure your dates. Your final 70% payment, and payment for any additional items (Lighting, Walkies, Rigging, etc) is due before first entry.

We rent the Studio as one single space and it is extremely difficult to rebook dates. Your deposit will be forfeited for a push or change of dates for any reason. The deposit does not apply to other dates.

We do not make exceptions of any kind to our payment terms.

ART DEPARTMENT BUILDS

Art Dept builds are allowed at our studio. Please have your crew immediately clean up any dust (including sawdust), paints, sprays, fluids, etc.

We have a dumpster for common Production Trash. Art Dept and construction trash should be hauled away.

Do NOT clean paintbrushes in our kitchen and restroom sinks. A slop sink and bucket is provided upon request.

It is best to vacuum dust at the end of each day to avoid build-up on our curtains and walls. A cleaning fee may be applied if your space isn’t adequately cleaned at the end of your rental.

SITE REP

A site rep will be provided for you after normal business hours and is included in your rate. During normal business, representative(s) from Steel Bird Studios Grip & Lighting will be present.
