Whether you need a DP for one day, a sound mixer for a month, or a full-time producer, Moving Picture Rental can help you solve one of the biggest challenges many South Florida productions face: easily finding and hiring experienced, qualified professionals.
Your South Florida Film and Video Production Partner
Owned and run by filmmakers, MPR has been a one-stop shop for Florida film production services since 1987. Our experience as filmmakers ourselves means we truly understand how difficult it can be to quickly find reliable, qualified crew members, particularly for producers who are from out of town or are coming in from overseas.
As your on-site production partner, we can guide your team to the right crew (and gear) for the job. Our goal is to make it easy for you to find and hire skilled industry professionals, so you can spend time focusing on the creative details of your project.
Meeting Your Production Goals
MPR’s production services help you connect with the creative professionals needed to ensure a stress-free shoot. No matter what size crew you need, we’ll work to find the experienced people your shoot calls for, including:
- Director of photography
- Camera operator
- Camera assistants
- Sound mixer
- Set designers
- Digital imaging tech (DIT)
- Media manager
- Grips
- Gaffers
- Hair and makeup
- Production assistants
We also offer location services like scouting and permitting, arrange for production space, insurance, and budgeting and payroll services. Need a sound stage? We’ll find you the perfect rental that fits your schedule and budget. For clients needing marine services or travel assistance with flights, visas, or carnets, we supply that too!
Of course, we’re big believers that working with a production services company like ours is a smart decision. But like most things, not all production services companies are alike. Choosing one is not a decision to be made lightly.
What Makes MPR Different
Moving Picture Rental is not a production company or a traditional crewing agency. In fact, we’re also known as one of South Florida’s leaders in the rental of film and video equipment. This combination of services—equipment and crew—is designed to save you time and money while meeting your creative needs and budget.
Production is part of our DNA. Our team is made up of people who’ve worked in every branch of the entertainment industry. Because of their hands-on knowledge, they can anticipate and accommodate your production’s needs and provide local solutions you may not be familiar with.
What We Do
After over 30 years, MPR has grown into a production services and equipment rental company that is a terrific alternative to traditional production guides that give you plenty of listings but little personal guidance. From commercials to feature films, our network of film and video professionals is always ready to bring your content to life.
Need a specific item and have no idea where to start looking for it? If it’s out there, we’ll find it! Our network of industry professionals and other resources is immense. Beyond crewing services, our blog keeps you up-to-date with the latest industry trends and emerging technologies.
We serve a wide market, providing you with the resources you need to create engaging content. We know our craft, our gear, our people, and our locations. And our client testimonials speak for themselves. We cover it all:
- Broadcast and episodic TV
- Feature and short films
- Live events
- Sports production
- Ad agencies
- Corporate and media
- Marketing and PR
- Education and training
- Digital media
What it Costs
It’s simple: we mark up the price of the labor we provide. But once you do the math, you’ll see it’s less expensive for MPR to find and hire you a skilled crew for a 1-week shoot than it is for you to hire a pre-production coordinator to do the same job. We’re confident that once you let us crew your South Florida shoot you’ll never do it by yourself again!
In addition to saving you money, we also eliminate a lot of the stress that comes from shooting in an unfamiliar (or even familiar!) location. We truly believe we’re an economical and practical option for all your crewing needs.
Let’s Get Your Project Off the Ground!
Don’t waste another precious minute of pre-production time scrolling through crewing directories or making phone calls to separate equipment rental and crewing companies. MPR is a full-service shop that understands how crucial the right choice of personnel is to the success of your production.
Best of all, you get the personal attention you need and deserve. From our first contact to the last day of shooting, we work one-on-one with producers, DP’s, and directors, acting as a unified voice that delivers comprehensive results. Every one of our crew members is chosen for their expertise, personal qualities, and reliability.
