Red Hook

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.

Info Every Film Production Coming to New York City Needs

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.

Location Scouting in Hoboken, NJ

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.

    New NYC Parks Film Procedure

    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little detective work to find the number for the manager of the park in question (short of having an (as far as I know) unpublished list of the different districts and the managers of the parks in those districts) and call that manager for verbal permission to film in the park which he/she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.
