Discover Chicago video shoot rental locations

Looking to film a new movie in the Windy City? Now that you have your script and cast of actors it's time to choose a video shoot location. Maybe you just need a specific setting for a few hours. Or perhaps your film calls for weeks of continuous shooting. You'll find plenty of video shoot locations with budgets and scheduling to match your needs in the Chicagoland area. Rental locations in Chicago are a great place to begin your search. Many of these spaces are studios or sets designed to match a particular theme. For example, if your video shoot features a hotel scene, the rental location could be decorated with vintage furniture, spacious beds, thick carpeting, and other contemporary hotel decor. Video shoot locations may even include costumes and props to better immerse viewers in the storyline.

Explore places to shoot video in Chicago

Whether you have a movie that's meant to be set in Chicago or simply want a downtown, historic mansion, or garden atmosphere, there are loads of great places to choose from. If your movie is a Chicago story then start with places that feature major landmarks. The city's world-famous train network is suspended above traffic, which helps viewers place the scene. As does views of the skyline, which can be found everywhere from the lakeshore (Montrose Beach and other city parks) to atop a rooftop bar or lounge.

Restaurant spaces for rent in Chicago

Restaurants are a fantastic place to hold a video shoot. They come pre-decorated to match any theme you have in mind. If your movie has an important scene that takes place in an Italian rooftop bar or Chinese restaurant, well, why not choose any one of the hundreds of Italian or Chinese venues Chicago has to offer? Restaurants are experienced in holding events and many can be rented by the hour, day, or longer. Restaurants also offer realistic props thanks to having full kitchens, dinnerware, walk-in freezers, serving staff, menus, and other accessories that could be complex to source on your own. They are also affordable venues for film making, with rates that are on par with renting a video studio. Except restaurants come pre decorated and full of supporting accessories like lighting, fountains, and tables. Not to mention you don't have to buy any of these decorative items, which would drive up the cost of any movie set designed to look like a restaurant.
