Locations on Two

There are times when a location scout needs to find more than just a house, a building or a road for filming. Once in awhile, we are asked to find an entire town that is willing to jump on board and join the show. Such was the case when Geoff Smither was tasked to find "Schitt's Creek." Geoff has also been asked to collaborate on "The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio," "The Handmaid’s Tale," "Y: The Last Man" and "Locke & Key."

I was honored to be asked to continue the discussion of film making as it relates to locations with legendary Academy Award winning cinematographer Roger Deakins on his podcast :  "Team Deakins"" again looks into the complexities of locations in the scheme of production. We talk with Dodd Vickers who shares with us how to find locations, things that have to be considered for locations and working with the budget. He also talks about how he needs to get into the director’s head, how the location department are the ambassadors of the film and the importance of getting to know the location neighborhood and the people living there. We also touch on reusing locations, remembering logistics when looking for locations and the difference in locations for film and TV. And much more!!"
