    If you are a foreign film / photo production planning to work on location in the United States and / or more specifically, in the New York City area, you may or may not be aware that use of just about any private property, as well as many public venues and towns / municipalities (New York City included, for film / video) as a location will require you to provide proof of commercial liability insurance providing coverage of at least $2m US in the form of a certificate of insurance and naming same (property owner / venue / town or municipality) third-party additionally insured. These or similar conditions apply to many gear / equipment rental agreements as well.

    Furthermore, any insurance you may have in your home country must provide coverage abroad and that coverage must be recognized and accepted by all parties involved in the United States.

    Fear not, there are many insurance brokers nationwide in the U.S. that offer affordable short-term production insurance packages. The insurance company I usually work with was charging about $650 for a 14 day package last time I spoke with them.

    A lot of people get out of film school full of ideas, but when faced with the reality of making a living, they decide to make commercials or a formulaic Hollywood movie or two. Still, they think, “Once I make some money, I’m gonna take my millions and make the films I really want to make.” In reality, this happens about as often as Amy Winehouse is sober.

    Times Square 42nd Street at Night

    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!

    L1030738-times-sq-nyc-42nd-st-night.jpg
    Times Square 42nd St at Night

    42nd Street is a well-known east - west thoroughfare thru Times Square and is famous in its own right, comprising a long, colorful (and at times, infamous) chapter in New York City history.

    Wikipedia | 42nd Street (Manhattan)

    New York Times which established its offices and printing plant nearby. For a long period in the mid-20th century, the area of 42nd Street near Times Square was home to peep shows and other activities often considered unsavory. A comedian once said, “They call it 42nd Street because you’re not safe if you spend more than forty seconds on it.“

    …read more…

    In recent years a MAJOR rehabilitation of the western part of 42nd Street (as well as the rest of Times Square and many other former problem areas of New York City) has occurred which has been extremely successful for sending crime statistics plummeting, however, there are those who contend that the changes along 42nd St have robbed the city of a chunk of its character. The seedy and bawdy 42nd Street of the past has for certain been replaced by a wholesome mainstream environment, so much so that it is considered in some circles to be somewhat of a “Disneyland in New York“. Chain businesses abound where smaller, more distinctive (for better or worse…) businesses once existed, the former concentration of adult businesses along 42nd Street seems to have relocated itself primarily along 8th Avenue and in the case of adult book / video / DVD stores, it appears they must also be required to carry mainstream merchandise as well in order to be allowed to exist.

    But the adult business was never ALL what 42nd Street was about, there were a good number of independent movie theaters that ran independent, low-budget, import and avant-garde “art” films and 42nd Street was an important part of the business models for many independent filmmakers for many years. Nowadays the smaller filmmakers are left to scavange for venues, other than perhaps well-known “art-theaters” in other parts of town, such as The Angelikas, Film Forum and Two Boots Pioneer Theater.

    As an aside, the night I made the photograph above I had just come out of seeing Dark Knight at a Multiplex chain theater - 25 theaters on 6 floors to be exact and mine was on the top floor - it took like 10 minutes each way to get up and down!

    There is an excellent section of the online New York History which details segments of the history of 42nd Street and Times Square:

    New York History | Sex, money, and politics at the crossroads of the world | by Marc Eliot

    “The history of the Times and Chrysler buildings, mayors Ed Koch, Jimmy Walker, Fiorello Henry La Guardia, and lots of other engaging details about the world’s most notorious intersection (back when Times Square was!).”

    …read more…

    As far as production might be concerned, a little common sense is in order. 42nd Street is literally “crossroads of the world” so if your crew is of any appreciable size with any number of vehicles involved, you are are liable to relegated to shooting on a weekend very early morning.

    The New York City Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting (MOFTB) issues film / video / photo permits needed for filming in New York City, which of course, include 42nd Street and Times Square.

    Times Square, New York City: This series was photographed a few years ago when I was figuring out the best ways to produce panoramic photos for my film location files for my location library at locamundo.com. At the time I was playing around with Photoshop’s transform tools (skewer, perspective); in the quick-n-dirty world of location scouting photography, you use snapshot cameras and there are always differences in perspective (and often exposure) from frame to frame. The transforms didn’t turn out to be the best way to make my pano’s (now I res the files down to screen resolution and use a stitching program, an oldie but goodie, PhotoVista) but it cant be denied that the transforms made for for some interesting art.All images (c) copyright 2006-2008 R.

    Starting Out in Location Scouting

    Occasionally, I get emails asking how to get started in location scouting / location management. I am often suspicious that people that write these letters are looking for a way - ANY way - out of whatever it is they are currently doing (and potentially dislike) rather than actually being genuinely interested in the location services field - It’s a “real” job with lots of responsibility and very well not nearly as glamorous as you might have imagined.

    Didja know the Location Department is the department in charge of making sure the trash gets carried away at the end of a shoot?

    Also, let’s face it, I am a pretty easy target - a quick email requesting a free look into the crystal ball is a pretty cheap investment in a career and I am pretty easy to find.

    … so how might anyone really know they want to be a location scout?

    It’s almost like, if they did know, they wouldn’t be asking.

    …but that’s just me, and as remote as it might be ;) there is a distinct possibility that my thinking on this could be flawed.

    That said, this is how things happenned for me:

    I attended the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale (AIFL) in Fort Lauderdale, FL and earned an Associate of Science Degree (AA) in Photography.

    Also at the time, I, of course, had aspirations to become a world-famous, world-travelled, filthy-rich, rockstar commercial photographer. When the major ad agencies of the world and top-shelf design firms of the world didn’t beat a path to my door upon graduation, I set about trying to learn more about my craft in the “real” world, seeking work as a photo assistant in the Fort Lauderdale and Miami media markets. At the time I entered the workforce and with considerations toward the size of the market I was in, I found staff positions in short supply, however, there was a blooming market for freelance photo assistants, helped by a blossoming South Beach “media scene” (and of course the generally balmy year-round weather in the region, which includes incredible stretches of pleasant, dry weather in the winter…) being fueled strongly by the fashion industry (as well as interest by advertising and media of many other types…), renovations and rehabilitation of the Art Deco buildings in the South Beach area of Miami Beach and a general boomtown economic environment of South Florida at the time. Miami Vice was in production then. In addition to working with local photographers I had a great opportunity to work with a number of photographers and production companies from all over the world, including a number of European-based teams and teams from New York, southern California and Chicago, to name a few.

    One of the photographers I worked with as a photo assistant in south Florida was a fashion advertising photographer from the New York City area, Tom Contrino. I worked as a local second assistant with Tom for two seasons and when his first assistant moved up the ladder to a photographer position in the still life area of the business back in New York City, I was offered an opportunity to move north to the New York City area and become Tom’s full-time, staff first assistant, which I accepted.

    In addition to freelance location scouting and production coordination for photography (both of which I discovered very early on that I found very gratifying and enjoyable) once I went to work to work for Tom I had an opportunity to expand my experience in these areas and learn an enormous amount about what it takes to operate a successful commercial photography business from the inside out and on a day - to - day basis - in addition to jobs we produced for clients, which often at times included location scouting and production coordination, in addition to my regular duties on shoots as a camera assistant and lighting tech, I was soon handling many back end chores such as hiring extra assistants, invoicing, equipment rental / purchasing, insurance inventorying, promotion - it all rolls together in a busy photography business.

    My tenure with Contrino Photography also offered me an excellent opportunity to travel and even tho I settled in New Jersey, in the New York City metro area, I travelled quite a bit with Tom for work back to south Florida, to California, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado, Chicago, and other destinations around the U.S.

    Eventually, after six years with Tom, it was, of course, time to move on and I became, once again, temporarily, a freelance photo assistant / production assistant, with aspirations AND experience needed to develop my own freelance location scouting / production business, working with photographer / director / producer clientele; subsequently, providing location services / locations for film / television / photo / events and production services for photography is what my current occupation consists of. Thru networking and marketing / promotion I have extended my location services beyond still photography to include video, motion picture and event clients.

    The “new frontier” for me (when I started out there was no email / we photographed locations using print film and made manila paper location folders filled with panoramic photos made by taping together 4×6 color prints…) is HDRi and image-based lighting for digital imaging (still and motion) and I have an association with Q-spheres to this end.

    I keep a running blog and online resume of sorts of jobs as I complete them which can be found at rrhobbs.us

    My website and home page, nyc.locationscout.us is both a blog and resource for location services and production. Please spend some time on the FAQS page! Use the search page and web and dig around for results for relevant location scouting search terms.

    Look on the sidebar, I can be found on most of the popular social networks (i.e. Twitter, Facebook, etc.)

    Anyway, that’s how it’s happenned for me - there is no magic formula for entering and developing a successful location scouting career - everybody is different and in the beginning it is often difficult to tell what you are truly interested in personally and / or how / if you might be of problem-solving service to enough people to make a career for yourself. SO much is tied up in personalities, personal priorities and changing needs, business relationships, aptitude and developed skills. - You really may only THINK you want to become a location scout / location manager… The only sure way to find out is to get out there and start DOING.

    I always tell aspiring newbie location scouts to look for film school student film projects and productions to work on - attending film school is an excellent background for a location scout, some grounding in filmmaking is a very neccesary prerequisite. Look for start up and no / low budget short films and movies to volunteer for - you get out what you put in - hell, even if you are “just” sweeping the floors, you still get to watch - and learn - you have to expect you are initially likely letting yourself in for a period of going hungry and still, somehow, making ends meet - you have to be generally resourceful, develop keen communication / negotiating and research skills and you have be willing to toot your own horn (without being annoying) - but as you learn and start becoming a problem solver - if you love your work and are good at it, it will show! - making someone’s life easier, they will tell their friends and associates - The rest is yours to discover and grow by.

    • Dipity could be good for chronicling (in several very aesthetically attractive ways, as shown above…) location scouting activities and later, actual shooting activities for a film, photo or video production.

    Didpity works with RSS Feeds you can generate from a number of sources including most blogs / microblogs (i.e. WordPress, Twitter) and is geographically aware, so if you if you geotag your posts, they will be placed on Dipity’s map. Dipity and FireEagle also talk to each other, making updating a physical location a rather painless chore, whether by mobile phone, laptop or desktop computer.

    NYC.gov - Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre & Broadcasting - Production News | Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre & Broadcasting Adopts Permit Rules | July 14, 2008

    “Commissioner Katherine Oliver of the Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting (MOFTB) today announced the adoption of rules governing the issuance of permits in connection with filming activity in New York City. The rules, which were published today in the City Record and will go into effect thirty days after publication on August 13, will require a permit if filmmakers use vehicles or equipment, or, in certain situations, assert exclusive use of City property. Permits will not be required for casual photographers, tourists, credentialed members of the media, or other members of the public who do not use vehicles or equipment or assert exclusive use of City property. The adopted rules outline the practices of the MOFTB, codifying the procedures that have existed since the office was established in 1966.”

    “The Colombian Film Commission is eager to facilitate the support large and small crews need to successfully bring any project to life.

    Colombia’s policy on filmmaking has enabled the industry to jump from one or two films a year in the nineties, to almost 30 recently released or in the pipeline in the last couple of years. And, with insurance easier to obtain, foreign filmmakers are returning as well.”

    Culture, Cupcakes and Cocktails at the Chelsea Art Museum 3 Jun 2009, 1:36 am

    Social networking site Yelp.com, together with the Chelsea Cultural Partnership threw a fabulous launch party at the Chelsea Art museum to kick off the Passport to Chelsea campaign.

    The “Passport to Chelsea”  offered guests discounts and special offers to sample the culinary, artistic and athletic specialties all found in the neighborhood.

    The three-level museum housed several art and design exhibits that I enjoyed.  One was “Sustainability” presented by a collective of Italian design brands. It showcased furniture, art, living and functional pieces made from sustainable materials and concepts.  The second was “Dream in a Contemporary Secret Garden”. This was an exhibit of 12 contemporary Asian artists, using mixed media to interpret the concept of “garden” in their own way.

    There was a lovely pianist on the third floor playing for guests of the exhibits, and a DJ in the reception room.  Top restaurants from the Chelsea neighborhood provided the nibbles.  Crema, an upscale modern Mexican restaurant served up a truffled chicken tortila goat cheese tart as well as coconut scallop ceviche.  Late night favorite, Cafeteria, served up delicious red velvet cupcakes.  Elegant Matsuri, could barely keep their spicy shrimp siu mai on the banana leaf for a few seconds before being ravaged by hungry guests.

    Sake2Me, a new company, served up fruit and tea infused sake beverages that were light and flavorful withough knocking you on your butt.  My new favorite liquor brand, Domaine de Canton, a ginger-infused cognac, also spread some cocktail love with their drink of the evening, using lemon and bitters.

    ArchDaily: Impressive Storm Sewer System / Saitama, Japan

    “To avoid floodings on typhoon season, the city of Saitama in Japan features an impressive storm sewer system. Its construction started in 1992, and its composed by giant concrete silos (65m tall, 32m wide) connected by 6.4km of underground tunnels 50m below the surface. It also has a giant tank: 25.4m tall, 177m long and 78 wide, with 59 concrete columns.”

    Dilgepwent Says:

    “A movie was shot here I think. One of the Die Hard movies with Bruce Willis involved a chase scene to get to an explosive located (I think) in these tunnels. That would have been the late 90’s but some of these pictures are too familiar.”

    …or… A New York Times Article Every Film Potential Location Property Owner Should Read

    …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.
