4Your own office or a rented studio
For interviews, testimonials and training videos, your own space is often the best location. It shows the real company, and you control the light, the sound and the schedule.

- Permit
- The city’s free film permit covers public property. Filming entirely inside your own building does not fall under it unless you use the street or sidewalk. Get the owner’s or building manager’s OK.
- Tip
- Ask building management about loading zones, freight elevator times and quiet hours before the shoot day.
