Some sort of art direction ( flowers, paintings, nick nacks etc..) rent or buy lets say another $ 1,000. Getting an insurance for a porn shoot ( good luck) but lets say I will lie, a minimum would be at least $ 2,000.
So lets start with $ 6, 600 and a lot of headaches. Most shoots are 12 to 13 hours and many require darkness outside, so add an extra days and blacking out windows. So no 2 nd unit shooting "after hours".
So, even on a weekly bases it is way too expensive...I rent a full furnished place ...very HIGH end just outside Prague for about $ 800 per 24 hours. A whole film studio with more then 20 sets for about 2x as much..
That is why you do not have any takers..  |
I understand your points of interest / concerns.
My business proposal in this thread is bare bones. From prior experiences, all of my proposals are bare bones. They appear to be extremely time wise strict - they do not have to be that strict. I perfer leaving the negotiating door open.
Short Term Production insurance is cheaper than 2k as long as your budget is under a million dollars during the lease agreement time.
My lease agreements max time was set for two weeks - Perhaps that's why there were no takers here at this time.
I've had the house furnished in one day for a three day film shoot.
This is a University town with a lot of well-to-do people. My houses earn top rental dollars during the two semesters.
Most times the students have no interest in keeping or storing their funiture after those semesters.
I allow them to leave their furniture behind which I keep.
After seven years, that tally's up to be a lot of furniture.
The rental / lease is a lot more streamline that it appears to be.
It's not like I am sitting on a empty property loosing money. The house is currently leased to University students until May.
