VLOG #2! Location Scouting.
LOCATION SCOUTING:
Suitability of a location to the task at hand takes into consideration many factors, including amongst others:
overall aesthetic
financial cost to production
logistic feasibility including but not limited to distance from base of operations or other locations scheduled
availability of parking and facilities to keep crew and talent (principal actors or models and extras) safe and dry at all times
availability of electrical power or feasibility of bringing in generators for lights and electrical equipment.
available light (indoors or outdoors) and weather conditions (outdoors)
permission from and cooperation of location owner and neighbors, local government and law enforcement
(from Wikipedia. I feel like in this day and age, that's an ok reference for a blog!)
In Dick and Bob, a few scenes take place in a secondary location (watch the video to find out where). To find the perfect place to shoot, David (a producer of Project Films & the writer of Dick and Bob) and Francis (our director of photography), visited a couple of options around Los Angeles.
Here's a video blog that David shot while searching for the perfect location that we will be shooting in on August 4.
We are 8 days away before the cameras start rolling...
