Film Production Company

• While film production studios with facilities
  like cyclorama, equipments and assistance
  continue to mushroom in Australia, learn what to
  consider before selecting the best.

  expectations and cut-throat competition demands
  filmmakers to deliver nothing but the best.
  Selection of an all-inclusive film production
  facility is one important step towards success.
  Heres what the experienced filmmakers from
  Australia share with the beginners to make the
  right choice in this direction.

• Studio Location
• Assess the studios location in terms of
  accessibility as well as environment. Do you find
  it convenient to access the facility along with
  your cast and crew on everyday basis? Do you find
  the surroundings peaceful and atmosphere engaging
  to work on your creative and professional
  projects? Visit the studio twice and find answers
  to these questions. Dont forget to check the
  transportation facilities and parking space
  available.

• Do They Offer Consultation?
• Expert consultation can be extremely useful for
  the first-timers as well as for the experienced
  Australian filmmakers. Every video production
  project is different from other and demands
  distinct treatment. If the production company
  offers consultation, it can definitely help you
  in pre-production tasks.

5

• How Advanced the Studio Is?
• Many film production studios Melbourne and in
  other Australian cities have attained limelight
  by adopting advanced techniques and technologies.
  Your film production assignment must benefit from
  a studio offering
• Cyclorama or screen size adequate for your shoot
• Sound recording equipments and setups
• Right kind of lighting support
• Wi-Fi access and more.

6

• Crew Management Support
• Go for a company or studio that takes additional
  responsibility to help in managing crew. Some
  important things to look for include
• Green rooms for make-up
• Private changing rooms
• Equipped kitchens and bathrooms
• Catering support
•  
• You may also choose a studio offering on-site
  staff members to help your crew in different
  tasks.

7

• Past Assignments
• Experience matters significantly before you
  finalize a film production company. Review the
  past works and demand samples from the company.
  Reputed studios that have been working on
  commercial and corporate video production in
  Melbourne and other regions wont hesitate to
  show their portfolio. You can also take
  recommendations from other filmmakers to
  shortlist the best companies.

8

• Budget
• It is very important that you have the precise
  idea about your film production budget before
  approaching a studio. Discuss your requirements
  with the company and ask for a quote. Remember
  that you might have to pay a fraction of price to
  reserve the space. Also decide whether you want
  the place for full or half day and evaluate the
  quoted price accordingly.

• Australian filmmakers are experimenting modern
  film production with innovative ideas and
  techniques using cyclorama, animations and
  concepts. To be in their category, devote time in
  choosing the best production facility.
