Film Production Studio Moving in Boston and MetroWest

Send the strike order and the new studio's stage plan. Each department releases separately, and we load in that order. Pickup-shoot material stays in a marked working zone until the production releases it. Nights and weekends work too, if the calendar and building allow.

Studios in this market are often in converted industrial buildings or flex space. A converted building may have a shared freight elevator and tight corners; a flex building near Route 128 or I-495 usually has a drive-in door. Tall flats need door, elevator, and ceiling heights checked before the date. Landlords often want our insurance certificate; pass along the wording they use. Tell us, too, where the truck can stand while flats are carried out, since long pieces need a straight path to the door.

Scenery is light for its size but fragile where it counts: painted faces, corners, and joints. Flats travel on edge with pads between faces, loose trim stays taped to its parent piece, and nothing heavy is stacked against a finished edge. Platforms keep their legs and hardware with them.

Sandbags and heavy road cases ride low and forward on the truck, strapped so they cannot shift into scenery. Grip carts are strapped in place. Prop bins travel closed, and the prop master decides which items are fragile enough to be wrapped or carried by staff. At the new studio, each group goes to its assigned zone, and your department heads check their inventory before the next build. Anything that arrives without a label waits in one spot for them.
