Commercial Filming at Caltech

<p>With permission, Caltech does allow filming at its campus, as well as some off-campus facilities. Some restrictions on filming include:</p> <ul> <li>Interiors may be filmed at any time, subject to availability. </li> <li>Campus parking is very limited, although parking for production trucks can generally be found. Spaces for base camps and private cars will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis. </li> </ul> <p>Click here for pictures of some of our <a class="link" href="filming/commercial_locations">filming locations</a>. The various locations pictured are possible filming sites on the Caltech campus. These photos are intended to give you a basic idea of the filming locations on campus; we realize that location managers will need to visit in person to determine the suitability of our campus for each project.</p> <p>In addition to the venues on campus, Caltech's Housing Office has some off-campus properties that are available for filming both as a one-day as well as more long-term. Please contact Deborah Williams-Hedges for specific details.</p> <p>Click here for a complete set of <a href="http://media.caltech.edu/filming/filming_process"><span class="link">Guidelines</span></a>.</p> <p>See here for more information on <a href="filming/documentary_filming">documentary filming.</a></p> <p>Please contact Deborah Williams-Hedges in Caltech Media Relations (626-395-3227) for information or to arrange a site visit.</p>  <h3><a name="rates"></a>Filming Rates</h3> <table style="width: 573px;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="eventtext" width="528" valign="top"><img src="http://events.caltech.edu/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="528" height="1" /><br /> Items 1, 2 & 3 below do not include cost for security officer and Caltech on-site staff, which are invoiced separately. <table style="width: 500px;" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td class="eventtext" valign="top"> </td> <td class="eventtext" valign="top"><strong>Category</strong></td> <td class="eventtext" valign="top"><strong>Fee</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="eventtext" colspan="3" valign="top"><img src="http://events.caltech.edu/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="20" height="10" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="eventtext" valign="top">1.</td> <td class="eventtext" valign="top">Still Photo Shoot</td> <td class="eventtext" valign="top"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="eventtext" valign="top"> </td> <td class="eventtext" valign="top">• Commercial</td> <td class="eventtext" valign="top">$4,000/day ($2000 for 5 hours or less)</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="eventtext" valign="top"> </td> <td class="eventtext" valign="top">• PSA</td> <td class="eventtext" valign="top">$1,500/day</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="eventtext" valign="top"> </td> <td class="eventtext" valign="top"> </td> <td class="eventtext" valign="top"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="eventtext" valign="top"> </td> <td class="eventtext" colspan="2" valign="top"> <p>The rates quoted above are for "shoot days."
