Essentials

Booking FAQ

We know every project is unique, and you might have some questions before getting started.

1
Do I need a film permit to shoot at Thunder Studios?

No, you do not need a permit inside our stages. You will only need a permit if you are filming on the street, or if you are doing anything wit pyrotechnics (which would also be outside)

5
What are your largest and smallest stages?

Our largest stage is Stage 03 at 16,000 sq ft — a full black cyc space with vehicle access and dock-high loading. Stage 11 is our most compact dedicated stage at 5,000 sq ft with a three-wall green cyc. We have 18 stages total ranging between those sizes.

2
What services are required to go through Thunder?

G&E rentals, production supplies, and heavy machinery rentals (lifts, condors) are required in-house. Catering is no longer mandatory, though it remains available on site. We make exceptions on a per-project basis — contact us to discuss your specific needs.

4
Can you hold a date without full payment?

We do not take deposits to hold dates. To secure a booking, the full balance must be paid upfront. This ensures our stages remain available for productions that are ready to commit.

5
What is the parking situation?

We have 400 vehicle spaces on site. Parking is $12 per vehicle per day, $40 for trucks and trailers. Overnight parking is permitted at the same rate. All parking is on our private lot — no street parking required.

5
Can I book a stage for less than a full day?

No — all stages are booked on a per-day basis only. A day rate is a 12-hour booking. Half-days are not available.

5
Do I need insurance to book?

Yes. All productions are required to carry appropriate insurance coverage before shooting at Thunder Studios. Please refer to our insurance and policies page for full requirements and minimums.
