Manhattan at Night From West Chelsea

Posted on September 30, 2008 by R. Richard Hobbs

The photos below were made from a private space in the Starrett – Lehigh Building at 601 West 26th Street in the neighborhood known as West Chelsea in Manhattan, New York City, NY looking uptown and (in the panorama below) displaying, from the left (west) the Hudson River and New Jersey cross-town to right (east), the Empire State Building on the edge of the frame.

ALL location scouts LOVE the Manhattan skyline!

The movie and TV shooting locations near you – Entertainment Weekly

USA Today has a fun list of which movies and TV shows have been shot in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. It’s a good reminder that you don’t necessarily have to live in Los Angeles or Manhattan to wake up and find a film crew shooting outside your front door. Nor do you have to live near a famous landmark, like Mount Rushmore (pictured, in North by Northwest).

Posted on September 4, 2008 by R. Richard Hobbs

Times Square in New York City is one of Manhattan’s most iconic locations. Out-of-towners, depending on the circumstances of their visit to Manhattan, may not see much else, but they are likely to see at least part of Times Square!

Info Every Film Production Coming to New York City Needs

Posted on April 21, 2008 by R. Richard Hobbs

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.
