Question 2

How has the billing process been simplified?

Accepted Answer

At Studio 69, our all-inclusive flat rate makes estimating and billing a breeze. With one straightforward price, you can use everything you need from our studio—no need to stress over equipment budgets. Access everything from our well-stocked equipment wall, set cart, flat file, or equipment room; it's all included in the flat rate. No itemizing or tallying at the end of your shoot.

Our flat rate also covers supplies and expendables, so you won't see extra charges for tape, canned air, cotton gloves, seamless paper, and other essentials on your invoice. It's all part of the package—kind of like an all-you-can-eat buffet for your creative needs.

Yes. If you shoot more than 3 consecutive days in a row, the 4th and 5th days are billed at a 25% discount.

Question 4

Aren’t you worried about some people taking advantage of the flat rate?

No. Some clients will use less, some will use more. In the end we think it will all average out. And we won’t have to waste your time counting every A-clamp that was used. The flat rate will cover equipment and supplies used for the day. If people want to take supplies home with them, then there would be a charge for the purchase.

Question 9

How do I book?

Accepted Answer

Please email us or call us when you know the dates you will need a studio.
A “first tentative” hold or option means that the studio is being held for you, however, you have not booked (confirmed) the studio yet and therefore are not financially responsible for the booking yet. You may hold the studio as a “first tentative”, until someone else is ready to book (confirm) the studio on that day. At that point, we will call you to exercise your option to book the studio, or you may release the studio so we can accept the other booking.

A “second tentative” hold or option means that someone else has a “first tentative” option already. When you are ready to book (confirm) the studio yourself, we will call the “first tentative” and ask them to either book or release the studio. If they release the studio, it will then be confirmed in your name. If they book the studio we will let you know which other studios are available on that day.

To book (confirm) a studio, we will need a valid credit card number as you are now financially responsible for the booking. This is for security only. You may pay for your invoice by direct deposit or credit card.

Question 10

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Once you confirm a studio booking, you’re financially committed to the reservation. Therefore, make sure you only book the studio once you’re certain the job will take place on that date. If you need to cancel after confirmation, the following fees will apply: If you cancel within 48 hours (during business hours) of the booking, a 100% charge will be incurred. If you cancel more than 48 hours (during business hours) before the booking, a 50% charge will apply.

However, if we can fill your slot with another booking on the same day, we’ll waive the cancellation fee.
