Finding locations that work on screen and on the day
A great location has to look right and work practically: power, parking, sound, crowd control, permissions and access for a full unit. Our location team scouts with all of that in mind, not just the photographs.
We share location options with photos and notes, plan technical recces with your director and DOP, and handle agreements and permissions so the location is truly locked before the shoot.
