That also works well because it looks like a residence. It costs a bit to furnish it, but hey, they are just props and can be picked up from yard sales and salvation army stores.
Having said all that, I know rent locations and that gives me the flexibility of having different looks. Costs less, but surprisingly not a lot less, but it does keep things kind of fresh.

a "studio" can also be a one bedroom apt with a living room kitchen dining room bathroom and BAM u have 4 different sets to shoot in. I did it that was my second and 3rd studios

Change the bg a bit with a few diff pictures different bed spread lampo and BAM u have another set

Im sure u can get a 1 bdrm apt in middle america for under 650 a month.

Go to salvation army and get great stuff for your sets. I did. I started my first cam studio for less then 1500 in sets and equip .

you can't get a $500 a month office anywhere near here, and I live in a small suburb outside the city

last I checked it was $1400 a month just for the office, add on all the other shit you are talking $2-3k easy....not chump change for a mom and pop cam site

you can get a 500.00 office all over the place down here


400-500 sq ft

and a 650.00 one bedroom apts are a dime a dozen.

man, must be nice

I would love a nice little office away from home

there is ONE place I did find like 2 blocks away...but WOW it was a total shit hole, and right next door to a ghetto asian nail/tanning place

the big issue here is that we live right next to a really popular industrial district, some pretty large national companies are based 1 mile from me....so rent has gone up for office space around here in the past few years

I could find a place a little further away, but I just can't bring myself to rent someplace that takes me 10 minutes to drive to when I have a perfectly good office in my house

You don't have kids though, do you, Jace? Or do you just wish you had an office because of zoning issues?
