Crew & Assistants · rental rates
Assistants are booked by the day — choose how many days you need each role. Labor isn't discounted on the 3-day rental week.
Day rates based on a 10-hour day — overtime bills at 1.5× after 10 hours. Travel, parking, meals, expendables, and specialty equipment are additional. Digital-tech rates are labor only; the workstation, cart, monitor, and storage are the tech's own rate.
General set help — errands, releases, runs, crafty, and client support.
A general assistant for a full day — deliveries, pickups, load-in/out, runs, and on-set support.
Stands, flags, sandbags, rigging, loading, and set safety.
Lighting setup, camera setup, and on-set support.
Capture One, tethering, color, backups, and the client/monitor station. Labor only — the cart, laptop, and monitor kit are the tech's own rate.
First-time on-location renters set up a rental account once — a quick step covering insurance and a card hold for replacement value. Request a quote with your list and dates.

Yes. To take equipment on location you register for a rental account once — a quick step that includes a driver's license scan and either a certificate of insurance on file or a credit-card hold for the replacement value of the rental. Renting just the studio doesn't require this.
We rent on a 3-day rental week: three, four, five, six, and seven days are all billed as a single 3-day rental, so a full week costs the same as three days. Daily rates are listed on every category page, and longer or recurring rentals are quoted on request.
Send your gear list (or a brief) and your shoot dates through the request-an-estimate form, and we'll confirm availability and send a written quote — usually the same business day. Estimates are free and open to anyone; a rental account is only needed once you're ready to take the gear out.
Yes. The gear-rental house is completely separate from the studio — pick up (or have delivered) cameras, lenses, lighting, grip, and production supplies and take them anywhere. No studio booking required.
Both. Pick up at the Kalamath St. shop Monday–Friday, 8:30am–5:30pm by appointment, or schedule delivery for a fee. We don't ship, but we deliver anywhere within 500 miles of downtown Denver, and out-of-town crews can have gear staged on arrival. Off-hours pickup and drop-off can be arranged for a fee.
That's what your rental account covers — a certificate of insurance on file, or a credit-card hold for the replacement value of the gear. Bring everything back in good shape and the hold is released. If you're unsure about coverage, just ask before your shoot.
