Показать описание

A Location Tech Scout is when you and necessary members of your crew visit a location for the purpose of identifying and appraising the value of that location not for creative purposes, but rather for the technical needs of the production.

Tech scouts happen after you’ve completed an initial location scout, and have found that the location in question satisfies your narrative needs, but now you need to make sure it’s viable from a production standpoint.

This means sounds, electricity, available light, etc.
We provide you with a FREE Location Tech Scout Checklist.

Our video breaks down:

Which questions to ask.

Who to bring.

What to look for.

AND

How to get the most out of your tech scout.

Our video features key crew member each with their own unique job duties and perspective on the tech scout. Understanding what each department looks for will make you a more complete producer and filmmaker.

When you finish this video, you will understand everything you need to know about location tech scouts and how they are different from your initial location scout.

The end result: You will be able to effectively choose and analyze locations that work well for your physical production.

Ugh this video is SO GOOD. Love that you guys went through this whole process in such detail. The first thing I asses when location scouting is if the location creatively fits the style we're trying to capture. From there, I get into the logistics. Thanks for posting!

I didn't know about the issue of clearance for the wooden artwork. That seems so crazy, I mean I would understand if it was a focal point like say the bean in Millennium Park but just something in the background is nuts. Thanks for the great info.

As someone with a passive curiosity in filmmaking and the behind the scenes of it all, this is EXCELLENT content!!! So informative and discusses topics I would have never known were relevant, or how to search for.

Location scouting is the scout… 1st finding it, 2nd bringing along Director and DP, then a technical scout with department heads… not sure if you have a video for location scouts on how to improve the “finding” a place tips.
