location scouting resources and a del.icio.us social bookmarking primer

By locationscout (me)

This blog is a continuation of a blog I started at 360yahoo some time back and have now migrated here to nyc.locationscout.us.

Somewhat accidentally, I have stumbled upon several filmmaking glossaries of terms commonly used in the production world – someone starting out or perhaps a property owner likely to be working with a film crew on location at their home or business may find these links very useful:

Prison Hoheneck Castle

From History and Present
• “In the year 1287 Count Erkenbert of Staleburgk would not have dreamed of his castle becoming a “royal” Saxon prison.”

…via Spout …via Twitter …via Digg

“A local politician has been arrested after driving onto the Chilean set of the latest Bond film Quantum of Solace to protest against the filming.”

In case you didnt know, the Long Island International Film Expo is coming up this weekend… I received an email from director Marty Stano, whose short film Moon Cake I reviewed in an earlier post alerting me that his film had been chosen for inclusion in the Expo. Atta boy, Marty, go get ‘em!

If you are a location professional, there are a number of ways to interact with peers and other production people online.

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.
