6x12 Trailer for Film and TV use

Postby domp444 » Thu Oct 16, 2014 10:31 pm

Hello everyone! Let me start out by introducing myself. My name is Dominick and I'm from NYC. I work in film and tv, mostly commercial work recently, but also doing some narrative stuff here and there. What I mainly do on set is data managing, coloring, and transcoding. I'm looking to build a trailer that will facilitate my work as well as allow for an editor to edit footage during the day as it's being shot.

What I want to do is order an ATC trailer with most of the electronic components in place, such as AC and heater. After I get it I plan on having the interior custom finished.

Here's what I'm looking at ordering:

ATC 6x12' + 2' v-nose - Tandem 3.5k Torsion Axles
30amp Package
Air Conditioner
Heater
12V Battery (for lighting when not plugged into generator)
Insulated Walls and Ceiling

Inside the trailer there will be a spot for my 24x36" cart which I work off of, as well as a couch-like seating area and desk area. At the v-front of the trailer there will be a wall mounted 55" TV for footage playback.

I'm looking to hear your feedback and anything that I should look out for, as well as suggestions for the build.

Thanks for your time! I will gladly post pictures of the trailer and build when I get it.

Hey, Dominic. My son is a DIT in NY also. Charlie Anderson . He uses a blackout tent and a portable AC unit.
It's a good life!

Ah yes I know of Charlie Anderson! Not personally but I follow him on social media. He does a lot of great work.

I've worked out of a blackout tent, and most likely still will. This would be for different jobs. Also providing on set post and 4K viewing.
