Locations a production can actually hold — access, permits, and control worked out before the recce.
Film and music-video productions live or die on access, permits, and control. Scout the realities before the recce.
The production problem
What a film crew has to know first
Interior permission, city film permits for street presence, and insurance requirements — surfaced per location, with what to confirm in writing.
Load-in routes, docks and freight elevators, power and amperage, floor load — the physical facts that decide whether a space works for a full crew.
Blackout potential, natural-light windows, and rigging headroom, so the gaffer’s plan survives contact with the building.
