Discover where to shoot film in NYC

New York City has served as the backdrop for countless iconic films, and it’s easy to see why. The city’s bustling streets, towering skyscrapers, and diverse neighborhoods offer a distinct setting for any story. So, when it comes to film shoot locations in NYC, filmmakers can choose from so many options, from traditional film studios to outdoor locations. Traditional studios are great for controlled environments, while outdoor locations provide a more natural setting and atmosphere.

Explore professional film shoot locations in NYC

Many professional filmmakers shoot in a studio. This is because the venue gives them more control over the environment, which allows them to capture high-quality footage that would be difficult to achieve on location. Shooting in a studio also offers filmmakers greater control over the lighting, which is crucial for crafting the right atmosphere and mood for a scene. By controlling the light, filmmakers can achieve stunning visuals. In addition, studios give filmmakers better control over the sound, making it easy to eliminate unwanted noise and produce a virtually flawless mix of sound effects and dialogue. Among the most popular film shoot locations are natural light studios and cyclorama studios. Natural light studios offer a unique combination of convenience and quality. With access to abundant sunlight and industrial design features, these spaces provide a setting that is both aesthetically pleasing and conducive to capturing vibrant images. When scouting out natural light studio spaces in NYC, look for features like ample space to move equipment around, as well as flexible layout options and cool views in or outside of the studio. These factors can determine how suitable a given space is for the vision you have in mind. A cyclorama studio, often referred to as a cyc wall or infinity wall, is a type of film production location that features seamless white walls and a floor that combine to create an infinite background for items in the scene. Keep in mind cyclorama studios come in different sizes, so you'll want to rent one with the proper dimensions for your project. In addition, a good cyc wall studio will have great lighting that won't cast harsh shadows on your actors or set pieces.

Uncover cheap film shoot locations in Brooklyn

The borough of Brooklyn is a popular destination for filmmakers from all over the world. But before you can start shooting your film in Brooklyn, you’ll need to obtain a permit from the city. Filming without a permit in Brooklyn can result in costly fines, so it’s crucial to make sure you have all your ducks in a row before you begin rolling the camera. For more affordable options, consider renting hourly film shoot locations, which can accommodate most budgets. These spaces are ideal for independent filmmakers, and venues range from video studios to green screens to lofts and warehouses.

Vault Meeting Room - Contemporary and Collaborative Space in NYC Midtown
It was a great space. I love the room and the vault. We used it for a film shoot od a bank vault. It was perfect

Speakeasy Piano Bar
The space was great. I was filming and they didn't mention that the connected upstairs bar would be open so we had some people walking through at times as well as noise from upstairs. Those things on a film shoot can be a problem but the actual space was...

Antique English cabinet library studio 2000 sqft
The space was great for our film shoot, the only comment I would have is that it was quite warm for our guests, so we had to keep powdering them due to shine and sweat. But I would definitely use this space again...

Sunny Loft in NoMad, natural light, reclaimed wood, white canvas wall, exposed brick GREAT for Video/Photo Productions, Meetings, Workshops, Castings & Livestreaming
at The Nomad Loft. Our host, Devon, was very responsive and helpful throughout the process- a pleasure. The space did appear as advertised. We filmed a talking head-type video and the only slight challenge we had was with sound recording as there is a working office right across the...

We used this space for a filmed interview shoot, and it went well! Not too noisy, and the window wasn't an issue with lighting. The hallways were fairly narrow to get all the film equipment through, but the freight elevator was very helpful. Thanks...

Andrew is an amazing host! He was so incredibly helpful throughout our entire marathon shoot and also extremely accessible. Our show was a bit ambitious for the space - we filmed a special that included 2 hosts and we brought in all of our own furniture pieces. I would recommend using...

Perfect Showroom in the heart of the Fashion District right next to the Empire State Building
were very accommodating. Our final product came out looking fantastic. I will note that the space might lend itself more readily to photo shoots vs. filming with audio (it is not soundproofed), but with that said, we had very little trouble. We came in hot, and they handled it. These...
