Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about SceneAlly
(Updated December 2025)
Welcome to the SceneAlly Frequently Asked Questions. This guide covers everything Owners and Creators generally ask when getting started on the platform. If you have additional questions, visit our Support Center.
SceneAlly is a listing platform that connects people who own spaces, vehicles, or unique assets with Creators looking for locations to film, photograph, or produce content. Owners list their spaces, Creators browse, contact Owners directly, and all bookings and payments happen off-platform.
Owners create a free account, click "Add a Listing," choose a listing plan, and publish their space. Once the listing is live, Creators can message them directly. Owners manage their own pricing, scheduling, rules, and all off-platform payments. SceneAlly charges only the annual listing fee—no commissions or revenue shares.
Click "Log In" in the top menu. A pop-up will appear with options to log in, create an account, or reset your password. Creating an account requires only a username, email address, and password.
After creating an account, click "Add a Listing." Select your category (backyard, vehicle, pool, rooftop, warehouse, etc.), fill out the description, upload photos, and choose your annual plan. Once payment is completed, your listing will appear publicly and Creators can begin contacting you.
You can list anything visually interesting or practical for content creation: backyards, rooftops, boats, warehouses, apartments, pools, city-view balconies, classic cars, sports cars, industrial spaces, airplanes, hangars, lofts, studios, farms, private gardens, diners, neon-lit garages, desert land—anything a Creator may want to film or photograph.
Earnings vary significantly depending on your location and asset type. Some Owners charge $50–$100 per hour for backyards or basic rooms, while others earn $300–$2,000 per day for vehicles, rooftops, or unique setups. All pricing is set directly by the Owner.
SceneAlly earns revenue only from the annual listing fee Owners pay when publishing a space. We do not take any percentage of bookings.

SceneAlly accepts global listings even if Regions are currently U.S.-based.

International Hosts – How It Works
SceneAlly welcomes Owners from every country. If you own a unique property, vehicle, or space anywhere in the world, you can list it on SceneAlly and connect with international Creators searching for filming locations.
While the platform's Region dropdown is currently optimized for U.S. locations, international Owners can simply type their city and country manually when creating a listing. Your space will appear in public search results and be fully discoverable by Creators worldwide.
Examples of international listings:
- A historic villa in Tuscany, Italy
- An oceanfront terrace in Barcelona, Spain
- A traditional Japanese ryokan in Kyoto
- A modern rooftop in Dubai, UAE
- A countryside estate in the Cotswolds, UK
- A beach bungalow in Bali, Indonesia
Payments are processed through Stripe, which supports international transactions. Owners from eligible countries can purchase annual listing plans and begin earning from Creators around the world.
Filming Locations by Category
Coming Soon: Category-Specific Guides
SceneAlly will soon feature dedicated pages for popular location categories, making it easier for Creators to find exactly what they need and for Owners to understand what makes their space valuable.
Planned category pages include:
- Pools – Backyard pools, infinity pools, rooftop pools, and luxury pool estates
- Classic Cars – Vintage automobiles, muscle cars, and collector vehicles for filming
- Rooftops – Urban rooftops, city-view terraces, and elevated outdoor spaces
- Warehouses – Industrial spaces, lofts, and open warehouse floors for large productions
- Open Fields – Rural land, farms, meadows, and natural outdoor areas
- Boats & Yachts – Docked boats, sailing vessels, and luxury yachts for content shoots
- Studios – Photography studios, recording spaces, and creative production rooms
Each category page will feature guides on pricing, preparation tips, and what Creators typically look for when booking that type of space.
Earnings Calculator (Future Feature)
Estimate Your Potential Earnings
SceneAlly is developing an Earnings Calculator to help Owners estimate how much their space could earn based on location, category, and market demand.
This tool will allow you to:
- Select your space type (backyard, pool, car, rooftop, etc.)
- Enter your city or region
- View average earnings for similar listings in your area
- See estimated monthly or annual income potential
- Compare your pricing to market rates
The Earnings Calculator will help new Owners decide whether listing their space makes financial sense and assist experienced Owners in optimizing their pricing strategy.
This feature is currently in development and will be announced when available.
