Guides/Photography and Filming

A surprisingly large number of people want to film in the space. Done well, it can be good publicity for the space. Done badly, it can piss a lot of people off very quickly - a lot of hackspacers aren't too keen on being filmed and our members always come first.

Non-commercial

If you are filming for non-commercial use, you can do so but you must:

1. Tell the mailing list at least a day in advance.
2. Don't get in peoples' way, and respect their wishes for privacy.
3. Don't take up too much space.
4. Preferably film during off-peak hours (Mon-Friday before 18:00).

Commercial

• You must contact Russ for permission at least a week in advance before doing any commercial filming.
• We will usually allow press filming for free, but permission still needs to be obtained in advance.
• Commercial filming will only be accommodated between the hours of 0800 and 1800, Monday to Friday, as these are our less busy hours.
• If filming in the yard, access must be maintained for London Hackspace members at all times, as well as at least three parking bays.
• Filming indoors may be subject to further restrictions, as our membership always has priority using our facilities.
• Our standard rate for filming is £600 per day, or £300 per half-day (less than 5 hours), inclusive of VAT.
