Hi! I'm a student filmmaker, and am starting to get into making better films. I'm trying to think of a production studio name, but I can't think of a name for it. How did you come up with your production name? Any advice for a teenage filmmaker?
An example being 'Alcove Audio' (a user on the site).
Yeah, I had seen you explain it to someone before and I thought it was a cool story behind the name, so it came to me as an example : )Alcove Audio Productions comes from the fact that my first "studio" was in an alcove of my apartment.
When you enter the studio in the basement of my house you need to duck under a beam or risk a knot on your forehead (if you're over six feet tall, anyway). So my studio is, unofficially, "Low Bridge Studios."
My wife occasionally freelances as graphic artist - which is also her full-time job - and does chores that other graphic artists find tedious and boring (she's incredibly fast as well as talented). Her freelance business is "Donkey Works" as she does the donkey work that others don't want to do.
I had years where mine was called 'Chookmaster Films' but at age 16 decided I could do a little better. One night I came up with 'Mile Creations'. Not sure why, I thought it sounded cool. I asked a few people what they thought then made it official. Nowadays (3 years later) I like the name but think I could have done something better perhaps or something more related to myself or my name, but now more people know me by MileCreations then they do 'Brendan Cherry' and so I consider it would probably be a business mistake to change the name now.
So make sure you are very happy with whatever you decide before you start publicizing it.

How about "Brain Damaged Productions?"
@Noah - are you that Noah? You know, build an ark and collect animal pairs? I know, not funny, and you've heard it 100,000 times, but that's an avenue to explore. Read the whole Noah and the Flood section of the Bible and see if there is anything there that would be cool for a name. Any hobbies? Take something from there. Maybe something one of your kids did or said.
I just had an idea! What about Ark or Arc Entertainment, so some people would get some of the play on words of Noah's Ark!
whatever you like. The way the Bible spells it is with a k.
Maybe an intro logo could be Noah gathering film equipment inside an ark, to protect it from a storm (and 2 of every kind of animal with rabies, but that's pushing it)
I think I'm gonna use Ark Entertainment!!! Thanks everyone SO much for your help!!!
