Discover where to shoot a music video in Chicago

Chicago is as great a place to film a music video as Los Angeles or New York City, with the added advantage of being way more affordable! The Windy City hosts hundreds of production rental facilities of all sizes. Is your next music video an intimate solo act in need of a small sound stage and a couple of camera operators? Or are you a part of a band on a world tour looking for a 30,000 square foot warehouse to turn into a production stage? You'll find all of these options and everything in between here in Chicago.

Explore warehouse music video locations in Chicago

Warehouses offer a lot of advantages for music video producers. They are spacious, with thousands of square feet to rent, yet more affordable since most are set apart from the urban core of Chicago. Amenities like parking often come with the rental since the lot will sit on or near the warehouse's property. The space itself is highly customizable, with room for large production equipment, separate sound and video sets, stages, audio-visual equipment, trailers, and more. The one disadvantage of a warehouse compared to a dedicated production studio is that you'll need to bring most or all of the audio-visual technology. Warehouses dedicated to video production may include equipment rentals but many do not. Warehouse music video locations are also perfect if you're looking for an industrial urban atmosphere. Little additional decorating is needed; the high ceilings, exposed metal beams, and factory windows provide the perfect backdrop for a rock or grunge music video.

Mansion music video locations in Chicago

Chicago mansions provide the perfect setting for a music video if you need luxury surroundings and a spacious atmosphere. The city's history stretches back over a century and many of the original mansions built during the Roaring 20's are perfectly preserved. The Gold Coast district just north of the Loop is where most music video creators begin their search for the perfect mansion. These buildings have lofty ceilings, statues, and architectural flourishes unlike anything else in the city. Many Gold Coast mansions have been converted into hotels, museums, and national heritage sites. Yet they are also open to event rentals, including weddings, conferences, and music video productions. As long as you take care to preserve the historic setting, mansions are one of the best places to shoot a music video in Chicago.
