Question 1

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

For weekday shoots, 2–3 weeks’ notice usually secures crew and permits. Prime dates, large crews, or public locations may require 4–6 weeks. Last-minute shoots (under 72 hours) are sometimes possible, depending on availability—especially for small crews or interior locations.

Question 2

Can you handle filming permits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We coordinate permits through the Detroit Film Office and manage insurance certificates, location approvals, and required city services when filming in public spaces, parks, or high-traffic areas.

Question 3

Do you work in all Detroit boroughs?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely—our crews cover every corner of the city, rolling gear into Corktown lofts at dawn and lighting late-night warehouse shoots in Hamtramck, with day-rate ease in Midtown, Eastern Market, and the suburbs when required. We lock the permits, parking reservations, and union crew logistics no matter which zip code is on the call sheet.

Question 4

What should I budget extra for when filming in Detroit?

Accepted Answer

Common Detroit add-ons include parking holds, location fees, security or PAs for sidewalk control, early-morning access, and sound mitigation in busy areas. We flag these early so there are no surprises.

Question 5

How much does it cost for a 1 minute video edit?

Accepted Answer

Here in Detroit, a no-frills one-minute edit—select pulls, trims, light color and mix—generally costs $800–$1,200 if you hand us organized footage; toss in motion graphics, licensed music, or a rush turnaround and the tab climbs to roughly $2,500–$4,000.
