1. Turn your home into a film-ready location

Before the crew arrives, a quick check is worthwhile:

  • Prepare rooms:Move furniture, create neutral backgrounds, keep everything clean and tidy
  • Pay attention to details:Light, power outlets, stylish backgrounds – film crews pay attention to every detail
  • Ensure safety:Avoid tripping hazards, secure cables, check insurance

2. Prices & Marketing

  • Typical prices:
  • Small apartments or individual rooms: €50–150 per shooting day
  • Larger apartments or houses: €200–500 per shooting day
  • Villas, special locations or outdoor areas: up to €1,000 or more, depending on location and amenities
  • Use platforms:Upload your location to SetScout to reach filmmakers directly
  • Photos & description:Show special rooms, terrace, period charm, or modern style

3. Contracts & Legal Safeguards

To ensure the shoot day runs smoothly for both sides:

  • Draw up a contract:Put all terms in writing
  • Insurance:Check liability coverage and possible damage compensation
  • Protective measures:For example, tennis balls on stands to prevent scratches
  • Cost arrangements:Clarify in advance who will cover electricity, water, or additional cleaning costs

4. Shoot Day Checklist

  • Access & logistics:Prepare parking spaces, elevator, or stairwell
  • Informing neighbors:A brief notice prevents surprises
  • Show flexibility:Small changes on site are normal, stay relaxed

5. Practical tips

  • Positive reviews on SetScout increase your chances of being booked again
  • A prepared, clean, well-lit space saves time and increases production satisfaction
  • Small extras such as drinks, snacks, or a clear floor plan are often appreciated.
