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

By locationscout (me)

The jury is (and may always be) out on the best solutions for digital file archiving and backup. What follows are some thoughts about same and some solutions I have been exposed to:

These are my del.icio.us links for April 6th:

• Website and Subdomain List of R. Richard Hobbs –

WheresSpot

“WheresSpot.com is The Internet Community for Prisoners of Advertising. Using email and the Web, it connects an enormous gang of talented people to one another.”

I am a big fan of the current photoblogging craze – its my personal opinion that the proliferation of photoblogs, vlogs and just plain blogs is proof of the many ways the internet and digital imaging have put a universe of creativity tools and the ability to generate media in the hands of everyman.

Preface: This post is not so much about doing actual location scouting work using the internet*, but rather finding online content that other location scouts might be posting around the internet or other published content on the subject of location scouting.

Some material, in no specific order, I’ve found around the internet regarding the currently on-going WGA Strike:

Michael Porte, one of the partners at the helm of the media production community portal, Wheresspot, just sent an email around announcing his latest start-up, The Field.

Note: The author is a freelance film / photo location scout and location manager and is neither a member of AMPTP or WGA. Any of the opinions expressed are those of R. Richard Hobbs.

I moved my links off this site to point to my links on del.icio.us | del.icio.us/rrhobbs after several years of trying ways to keep up with the the links I use regularly, to maintain them using various scripts and built in features of Wordpress (my site-building tool of choice), that del.icio.us proved to be the most efficient means.

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detective work to find the number for the manager of the park in question (short of having an (as far as I know) unpublished list of the different districts and the managers of the parks in those districts) and call that manager for verbal permission to film in the park which he/she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