6 TEMPORARY FACILITIES TO ENHANCE YOUR ON-LOCATION FILM SHOOT
In the fast-paced world of film and TV production, creating the perfect on-screen moments often requires shooting in diverse and sometimes remote locations. While these dynamic settings add authenticity and visual appeal, they also present unique logistical challenges. This is where temporary facilities become indispensable.
Providing essential amenities and infrastructure, temporary facilities ensure that cast and crew can work efficiently and comfortably, no matter where the story takes them. From portable offices to mobile kitchen trailers for your craft services team, these facilities are the unsung heroes behind the scenes, enabling productions to stay on schedule and within budget while maintaining high standards of quality and professionalism. Here are six temporary facilities from Cotton Logistics that are essential for any film or TV set.
KITCHEN TRAILERS & CRAFT SERVICES
Feeding your cast and production crew is essential to ensuring you get the best footage and maintain a productive atmosphere on set, but if you’re shooting in a remote location, you don’t always have access to kitchen facilities.
Cotton Logistics and our sister company, Cotton Culinary, are here to help with our fleet of mobile kitchens. We can drive them to your location and cook fresh, delectable meals around the clock to keep your team fueled for whatever the day holds.
TEMPORARY TENTS
Providing a place for your cast and crew to relax when you call 5 is essential for maintaining morale. Temporary tent structures, which can be upgraded with flooring, A/C and other amenities, are the perfect solution for creating a comfortable space no matter where you’re filming. These facilities can also serve as cafeterias and dining areas.
MOBILE RESTROOM TRAILERS
Skip over the porta-potties and ensure your crew feels valued with the help of elevated restroom trailers. Cotton Logistics’ units are outfitted with multiple private stalls, heating and A/C, lighting and dual vanities. They are also ADA-compliant and accessible, so everyone on your team can use them without difficulty.
TEMPORARY OFFICE TRAILERS
With the addition of Cotton Logistics’ temporary mobile offices to your set, your crew and production team will have the space and tech they need to run day-to-day operations, oversee logistics and make sure your production runs as smoothly as possible. Since our facilities are modular, we can customize and configure a solution tailored to your production’s unique needs.
MOBILE CREW CAMPS
If your set is particularly remote, you may want to consider housing your cast and crew on-site in a temporary crew camp. Whether you’re looking for trailers with bunks to hold large numbers of employees or a more upscale executive suite trailer to host your talent, Cotton Logistics can deliver our facilities to your site.
LAUNDRY TRAILERS
Ensure your wardrobe team has the resources to keep the costumes clean with our mobile laundry trailers. We can rapidly deploy and deliver these facilities to your site, and they are customizable so we can help you get the washers, dryers and other technology you need to keep your team looking sharp.
If you’re planning your next film in a location with limited resources, trust in Cotton Logistics to supply you with the tools you need to ensure a smooth production. Contact us today on our website or by calling us at 877.427.2947.
