Daylight studio, Tuesday 09:00 to 13:00
Arts District, Los Angeles. Four hours, crew of five, one lighting kit.
Your four hours are 09:00 to 13:00 and they include load-in and load-out. That is the single most common misunderstanding in studio hire, so it is the first line here rather than a footnote.

On the day
Arrival, overtime and the state you leave it in
- 08:45

Two minute walkthrough, note any existing marks, hand over the strobe kit.
- 12:30

The half hour is not a suggestion. Paper down, stands collapsed, bins used.
- 13:00
Room clear

- Within 24 hrs
Balance and any extras settle
Paper used, overtime, anything damaged. Itemised, never a round number.
- Sweep the cyc if you have marked it. A repaint is USD 220 and it is charged
- No gaffer tape on the walls or the floor other than the cyc
- Anything hired leaves the room in the case it arrived in
- Tell the studio manager about a spill immediately, not at 13:00
- The next booking is at 14:00, so 13:00 is a real deadline rather than a soft one
