Top 10 Summer Production Essentials

Filming in New York City this summer? Street Team Studios is New York City’s leading production supply rental and expendable company located in Brooklyn, NY.

Here is our Top 10 list to keep you cool, dry and comfortable all summer long on set in NYC.

1. Portable Air Conditioners

A portable air conditioner is a must when it comes to shooting in the summer months. With both 8,000 BTU Air Conditioners and 10,000 BTU Air Conditioners, Street Team Studios has got your production covered when it comes to keeping your crew cool and comfortable in the heat. These portable units can cool down a small room -or- you can rig one outside to an EZ-Up tent to create a cool down respite space.

 

2. Box Fans, Drum Fans, and High Velocity Floor Fans

No summer set is complete without fans. Large cooling drum fans, high velocity cooling floor fans, and classic box fans are available for rent to maintain a refreshing air flow & chilled environment for your cast and crew.

 

3. EZ UP Tents

This portable & lightweight accessory can get cold within seconds of soaking in cold water and remain chilled for hours. In fact, just a little sweat on these towels activates the cooling properties of these handy towels. A cooling neck towel is excellent for individual cooling relief on a hot shoot day. Next time your shooting outside and the forecast is hot, pass these out to each of your crew members and prepare to be THANKED!

Keep your crew protected from the sun & rain with umbrellas of all kinds. Golf umbrellas, sun umbrellas, and rain umbrellas are available for rent and purchase to create shade and cover for your crew. Street Team Studios also sells and rents hi-vis umbrellas for added safety element.

 

7. Ponchos

Individual ponchos are essential for keeping your crew dry in the rainy, warmer months. Rain kits are also available, containing 10 umbrellas and 10 rain ponchos each, providing multiple forms of rain protection for an affordable price. Our poncho’s are compact so crew members can have them in their pocket, in their bag, or clipped to their belt loop so when the rain strikes you are prepared.

 

8. Sunscreen Spray

Working long hours outside in the heat can be harmful to your crew without appropriate sun protection. Sunblock spray is available for purchase in high SPF to keep your crew safe from the New York City summer sun.

 

9. Cap-it! & Bag-it! Film Expendables

Keep your cameras/lenses & EQ safe from the summer rains with Cap-it! & Bag-it! All weather protection bags. These clear plastic covers will ensure your gear is protected, coming in multiple sizes to fit your specific equipment.
