City yells “Cut!” on filming in South Williamsburg

Hot off the presses, the new nyc.locationscout.us promo is hittin’ the mail!

The photos on the card are from a location scouting job I did this summer in Red Hook, Brooklyn and a house from my locationfiles.com Locamundo location library in the Houses Locations Album (45953 Montclair, NJ); read more about this home here.

Recently, while doing some location scouting, I had the opportunity to explore the Brooklyn, NY neighborhood known as Red Hook.

I just love Red Hook’s textures and colorful past (present and future… so it was hardly “work” having to spend several hours on a gorgeous, clear summer day wandering around Red Hook.

:: Schmap East Coast Second Edition: Photo Inclusion

If you are planning on shooting on location on New York City city property (i.e. streets / sidewalks / curb spaces or if you are shooting on private property and will be running cable across same …or need to clear parking…) in New York City (which includes the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island), you will need a City of New York Mayor’s Office of Film Theatre & Broadcasting (MOFTB) film permit. You should probably hire a local location scout or location manager to complete this paperwork for you.

The nyc.locationscout.us header photograph (also shown below) depicts part of the elevated roadway section of the Brooklyn – Queens Expressway (BQE or I-278) from ground level along northern Hamilton Avenue in Brooklyn that follows underneath the route of the BQE for a distance as they both snake thru Brooklyn, NY.

Recently, I was hired to location scout in Hoboken, NJ for an upcoming UK tv program and it was an opportunity for me to explore an interesting city I have lived within 20 minutes or so of for about 15 years but never really spent much time in, other than to pass thru on the NJ Transit train to get to the PATH train, (which runs under the Hudson River) to travel into New York City.

GoodWidgets is a site where you can build a number of photo album widgets using photos from popular photo services. A location scout might find this useful to present an album of location photos like this – my photo set of the Brooklyn Bridge at Flickr:

“A Last Look Inside the Revere Sugar Refinery” …in Red Hook, Brooklyn, that is.

via Gothamist and BlueJake:

It used to be when you wanted to film in New York City Parks (i.e. Central Park, Prospect Park (Brooklyn), etc, you had to do a little detective work to find the number for the manager of the park in question (short of having an (as far as I know) unpublished list of the different districts and the managers of the parks in those districts) and call that manager for verbal permission to film in the park which he/she managed.
