An important part of the location scout / location manager / producer / director / photographer collective workflow is obtaining a property release or location agreement, which is written permission to use images of a property or location for publication, particularly in instances where private property is concerned. This permission must be obtained from the property owner.

Likewise, property owners should insist on a property release or location agreement being signed by all involved parties, if for no other reason than furthering the interest of a general atmosphere of understanding and cooperation.

There are many more or less standard legal forms available which should be customized as may be appropriate with the production company’s and / or end-client’s information as well as showing the amount of monies to be paid to the property owner and any special conditions as may exist.

Below are some useful property release resources:

American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP) | Home > Commerce > Legal Resources > Property Releases Tutorial | By Richard Weisgrau and Victor S. Perlman

“This article originally appeared in “A Subject of Urban Legend,” which is posted in our Legal Resources area.

The whole subject of property releases is filled with urban legend, assumption and myth, along with a bit of actual law. As you know, using a person’s likeness for trade or advertising purposes requires a model release. That is because a person has a reputation to protect, a right of privacy and (in some states) a right of publicity. Property has none of these rights. So why should you go to the trouble to get a release?”

    “A release is a written agreement between you and the person you are photographing, or the person who owns the property you are photographing. The purpose of the release is to protect you from any future lawsuits the person might file for claims such as defamation and invasion of privacy.”

    The ASMP piece directly above discusses property and model releases. The location professional will obviously be most concerned with the property release parts of the discussion, however it is probably a good idea to have a general grounding in both types of releases especially if your job descriptions cross over between location services / general production / photography / directing.

    …via Mark McKennon…

    NY Times | Lights! Camera! Ka-Ching! | By VIVIAN S. TOY | Published: July 20, 2008

    “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.”

    Backpacker Magazine – June 2008 | Start Smart: Shoot Low-Light Photos | Master dawn and dusk photographs with these pro tips. | by: Berne Broudy

    “WAKE UP EARLY OR SCOUT A LOCATION before dark if you want to take memorable shots, says pro photographer Seth Resnick. “At sunrise and sunset, rays of soft, low-angle light paint the sky and the ground with brilliant colors.” But that’s also when most consumer cameras struggle to produce a good shot. Fog and heavy foliage can also scramble your camera’s light sensor, even if your eyes don’t perceive the darkness. Here’s how to overcome three photo pitfalls when the light is only half there.”

    Featured Locations: Beach and Waterfront Houses

    It is summer and I have been receiving a number of requests lately for beach and waterfront houses, so I have pulled a number of beach house locations from my location files an added them to a beach houses album on Locamundo:

    Beach Houses Location Album
    locations-beach houses

    Beach Houses Location Album

    These are beach houses, ocean-front and bay-front houses of many diverse types and architectural styles, located all over the New York City Tri-State area - Jersey Shore, Long Island, Hamptons and the Connecticut Shore; in the album look for the town and a short description of the style of the house.

    Location Scouting Notes:

  • Not all houses shown “own” the beach they are near, this in fact would be the exception rather than the rule, and since a private beach is a considerable real estate asset, rates for use of houses with private beaches could be reflected accordingly.
  • Beach towns and other waterfront recreational communities exist primarily for the leisure pleasure of their residents which provide much in the way of economic development and most attempt to create a pastoral, peaceful ambience, however, in the northeast U.S., some of the population density and traffic congestion from the cities and adjacent suburban areas is transferred to vacation / recreation areas during the summer months (specifically between Memorial Day and Labor Day) and can strain local vehicular traffic control, local law enforcement and local government resources in general. That said, there may be restrictions in place by towns in popular beach, other waterfront and get-away areas or there may be permits and permit fee requirements for shooting in these towns. You should check with local government (i.e. Town Clerk’s Office / Police Department) in any municipal area in which a location under consideration for use as a location may be located to find out if filming and / or photography is allowed and if there are restricted areas. A measure of common sense is in order; be realistic about what levels of impact or disruption your production vehicles or set and crew may have on traffic patterns or day-to-day life during peak times and discuss your needs with local authorities to find out if agreements can be made to accommodate all. City, County, State and National Parks may have also have restrictions with regard to areas available for filming during peak periods. Just about all have permit requirements, altho the fees can be very reasonable *if* the areas needed are, in fact available. Most, if not all have restrictions regarding filming on weekends, when the utilization of park resources are likely to be highest by the general public.
  • More remote locations with lower utilization of resources by the general public are more apt to be receptive to hosting film / video or photo shoots during the summer months, however, you must build in increased travel times, crew fees for remote locations (including possible overnight stay-overs) and other considerations into your budget. Private estates with plenty of acreage for shooting and off-street, private parking could be viable options, too, but locations of this type, close to large metro areas, when available, are likely to reflect the convenience and amenities in the fees charged by the property owners. A matter of fact that seems to be oft-overlooked is the owners of leisure / get-away / recreation / vacation properties are likely to want use of their property during the summer months for themselves and availability is likely to revolve around times when the owners have made plans to use their property or a premium rate may be charged to accommodate production during periods planned as “personal” or “quality” time. Accordingly, please be realistic about your budgetary resources when making location enquiries about beachfront / waterfront and other recreation / vacation properties during peak use times. The same could be said of many “public” properties, such as hotels, motels, bed-and-breakfasts; you are advised to plan your production well in advance and should expect to pay premium rates during months of highest demand. The summer is the “bread and butter” time for most hospitality establishments in recreational areas (including restaurants) and they must generate enough income during peak times to see them thru the lean periods such as winter.

They are an organized photographic documenting of the entire location including background views and reverses. (Reverses are the location as seen from two opposite viewpoints.) This allows the production company to see all the potential of the location.

    Before you start to photograph the property consider what unique qualities the property possesses. Try to record the uniqueness of the location.“

    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:

    Rent your house out for movies, TV or commercials? How to earn $2,000 to $4,000 per day

    Gallagherporch“There are advantages and disadvantages to life in SoCal. In the plus column: There are a lot of TV shows, movies and commercials that need houses in which to shoot “on location.” And that means you — if your house meets the criteria — could make some good money off your house.”

    Attached are two (2) boilerplates of the location contracts we use so there is a written agreement between us, production and property owners when a deal has been negotiated to use a property as a filming location for a film, photo or video shoot.

    (1) is a long form - the one that has been around here some time now, but often seems intimidating and “overkill” for “everyday” use…
    (2) is a shorter form, less detailed but seems to-the-point for most everyday use.

    Caveat: R. Richard Hobbs is NOT an attorney and makes no warranty of legal validity of either document presented here. These documents are presented for illustrative purposes only, do not neccesarily constitute legally binding agreement(s) and certainly do not represent agreements of any sort between R. Richard Hobbs and anyone who views or uses the aforementioned location documents. For legal advice seek the services of a registered, licensed law professional.

    …at the same time, please feel free to use these documents for your own purposes as reference or for ideas to use to come up with your own forms.

    MS Word Format:

    1. Location Contract - long form MS Word .doc
    2. Location Contract - short form MS Word.doc

    PDF Format:

    1. Location Contract - long form pdf
    2. Location Contract - short form pdf

    “It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood… if you live in Cameron Woods, I suppose. It’s where Orion Avenue (one of the most filmed streets in the San Fernando Valley) is located. Used for its All American look: Swings hanging from trees, American flags proudly displayed, neatly mowed, wide, green lawns and white picket fences.”

    Please note: The most currently updated info is available here: http://rrhobbs.us/locproc.owners.html

    Excerpt:

    PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION BELOW CAREFULLY. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE IS A LINK TO A FORM YOU MAY USE TO LIST YOUR LOCATION WITH US.

    (INFORMATION FOR ALL HOME/ PROPERTY OWNERS)

    LOCATION PORTFOLIOS:
    a. We create a digital photo portfolio of your location. Initially we might request that you send us some photographs of your location (dont have to be professional) to give us an idea of what it looks like. We may also request to come out to scout ourselves.
    b. We promote your location by emailing an internet link of pictures of your property we have on file to clients when an enquiry is made for locations of the type for which your property may be suited.
    c. Once a client shows interest in your location we will call you to:
    1. give you what details we have and find out if your property might be available.
    2. discuss fees, restrictions, rooms to use, etc.
    3. set up a time for the client to come and do an initial “go see.”
