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.

Wikipedia | Red Hook, Brooklyn

…Red Hook’s current eclectic mix of living artists and industrial businesses create a neighborhood coined “Residustrial” in 2008 by artist and resident John P. Missale. Red Hook also contains several parks, including Red Hook Park. In the spring of 2006, the new Carnival Cruise Lines Terminal, more formally the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, opened at Pier 12 at Pioneer Street, Red Hook, bringing additional tourists to Brooklyn.

“The Seagram Building, looking every bit as elegant and refined as the day it opened in 1958, remains the embodiment of its architect’s famous observation that “less is more.” Also known for its supporting roles in major movies and television shows over the last half-century, this svelte, bronze beauty ranks at the top of Manhattan’s architectural Pantheon along with other monumental icons like the Empire State Building, Flatiron Building and Chrysler Building.”

The film stars Patrick Wilson, Jackie Earle Haley, Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Matthew Goode, Stephen McHattie and Carla Gugino.

The film began shooting in Vancouver in September 2007 for release on March 6, 2009.^[1] Like his previous film 300, Snyder closely modeled his storyboards on the comic, but unlike 300, he chose not to shoot all of Watchmen using chroma key.”

NY Times: Have Camera, Will Trespass, on Brooklyn’s Waterfront | By Sewell Chan | July 31, 2008, 11:00 am

“Nathan Kensinger generally does not ask for permission when he photographs the decaying remnants of Brooklyn’s industrial waterfront. Since 2003, he has wandered into shuttered factories, padlocked basements and forbidding warehouses. He often goes along with other photographers who have an adventurous bent. He hasn’t been arrested, yet, but he doesn’t want to tempt fate, either.”

…read more…

In reality, there is quite a bit more to location scouting than just “getting in” a location - in fact, that is just the beginning … Location Scouting at Wikipedia …but, then, the Times story wasn’t really about location scouting anyway, altho, it is mentioned that Nathan is a location scout for Law and Order…

That said, there is no intent to detract from the motivation and beauty of Nathan’s photography, which is quite impressive!

“NEW YORKERS love to complain about television or film crews that descend on their neighborhoods, gobbling up parking spaces, crowding the sidewalks and generally disrupting daily life.

But some people aren’t complaining. They are the ones who are renting their apartments and houses to those crews, and making $500 to $10,000 a day, depending on the size and duration of a production…”

“…The movie and television production industry is big business in New York City, generating about $5 billion in the local economy each year, according to the Mayor’s Office of Film, Theater and Broadcasting…”

“…As a final word of caution, Ms. Gordon of AKA Locations said that homeowners often come to the business a bit starry-eyed and that she often tries to lift that veil of fantasy a bit.

“They need to be prepared to be invaded and not expect to make too much money,” she said. “And once you sign on for it, you have to let go and let it happen, because once you let them into your house, they’re not leaving until they’re finished.”

CNN: Atlantic season’s 1st tropical storm forms near Belize | May 31, 2008

“MIAMI, Florida (CNN) — Tropical Storm Arthur, the first named storm of the 2008 Atlantic season, formed Saturday near the coast of Belize but was already over land and was expected to weaken later in the day, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.”

…read the rest…

More often than not we here in New Jersey get rainy spin-off from tropical storms and hurricanes, in fact if anyone remembers Hurricane Floyd (1999), it did considerable flood damage in the NJ / NYC area - let’s just say I remember being thankful I live on the second floor LOL

…but we DO get the odd hurricane and in fact we get tornadoes from time to time but nothing like down south where I grew up or Oklahoma - AKA “Tornado Alley“.

In any case, a location scout’s duty is to mind the weather, so the fact that Hurricane Season has begun is duly noted.

over and out.

This past week was NY Photo Festival, May 14 - 18, based in the DUMBO area of Brooklyn / NYC, NY.

I wrote a post about NY Photo Festival 2008 elsewhere on nyc.locationscout.us.

DUMBO is beginning to look more like Soho than, well, DUMBO

Ever the location scout, I was pleased to discover a number of attractive event venues around Dumbo, many which, such as St. Ann’s Warehouse, were being used to present the photo exhibits associated with NY Photo Festival. Another event venue used by NY Photo Festival was Galapagos Art Space, but I was already familiar with that space.

I’ve parsed out my Flickr feed of a few snaps I shot with my trusty, rusty Leica D-Lux3 below…

• The carousel is new - at least to me… it’s very kewl - ANY carousel is kewl, no?
• I like the new mural(s) the graffiti artists were still hard at work on the one…
• …old standbys, the Manhattan Bridge and Fulton Ferry Landing…

New York State Film Office

About the New York State Governors Office of Motion Picture and Television Development:

“Our office is your liaison with city and local governments, state agencies, a network of statewide contacts, local film offices and professional location scouts. Call us and we’ll get you what you need or find the people who can help.” …read the rest…

The New York State film production market is one of the largest in the United States as well as world-wide and has a world-class film office located in New York City equipped and eager to service the needs of the production community while furthering economic development in the State of New York.

Being located in New Jersey, very close to New York City and the lower Hudson Valley of New York, I call on the NYS Film Office (as well as the NYC Mayor’s Office of Film, Theater and Broadcast (MOFTB) - the film liaison for New York City) frequently for assistance with location and production needs for film, video, photo and events productions; the NYS Film Office (as well as MOFTB) are always helpful and knowledgeable helping me solve any location or other production-related challenges as New York (state and / or city might avail themselves.
