Setting up a production rental set in Los Angeles involves careful planning, coordination, and attention to detail. As a leading provider of film studio rentals, Warehouse 1 Productions offers an in side look at the process, from pre-production to the final wrap.

Pre-Production: Planning Your Space

Before any cameras start rolling, the pre-production phase is critical to ensure a smooth shoot. The first step is determining the specific needs of your production, including set design, equipment requirements, and crew logistics. At Warehouse 1 Productions, we collaborate with production teams to understand their vision and provide customized solutions, whether it’s building a set from scratch or utilizing the warehouse’s existing features.

During this phase, it’s essential to create a detailed layout of the space. Consider where the camera, lighting, and sound equipment will be placed to maximize efficiency. Our experienced staff can assist with logistical planning, ensuring that the space is utilized effectively while adhering to safety regulations.

This involves transporting equipment, constructing any necessary sets, and ensuring that all technical aspects are in place. Our team at Warehouse 1 Productions provides support throughout the process, from helping with set construction to offering guidance on lighting and sound placement.

One key consideration during setup is power supply. Warehouses typically have ample power sources, but it’s important to assess whether additional generators or power solutions are required for high-energy equipment such as lighting rigs and cameras.
