my earlier asking about nyc interview space now seems premature. my client has moved the shoot to philly.

i'm looking for a rental space that would allow me to shoot four talking head interviews. the interviews will take approx 1.5hrs. because the interviewees are rather elderly, i am scheduling two for each day. i am hoping to shoot on thurs/aug 14th & fri/aug 15th or fri/aug 15th & sat/aug 16th.

i am also looking at a place called videosmith for some rentals.

anyone with an opinion about videosmith?

anyone with a thought to lend about some interview space?

as always, thanks in advance for any info u care to share.

be well

Videosmith is great. I've rented from them many times without any problems whatsoever and they have a good selection of gear.

Wish I had some advice for you on a studio. Center City Film and Video on Walnut St. has a small studio I've used before, but I'm not sure if they rent out the space without a crew, but they might. They are not cheap though.

Another option would be to simply rent a hotel room or conference room at a hotel. Especially if all you are doing is talking head interviews. You could also look into renting a furnished office for a day or a conference room from a place that rents executive office space. You might have better noise control is a hotel though.
