Location scouting:
urban. rural. worldwide.

We go the extra mile to make sure you get the shots you need. As location scouts, we’ve worked across pretty much every continent – although we’re yet to tick Antarctica off the list.

From the moment we take the creative brief, we strive to find the perfect location while rigorously checking our finds against any specific requirements like sun or lighting angles, camera positions, access points and height, weight or width restrictions.

Our favourite part of scouting is the inspirational places we’re lucky enough to visit. From the top of both Severn Bridges to Greenham Common’s Nuclear Bunkers. From the ramparts of Stirling Castle to piloting and landing a British Airways 777 flight simulator and landing in Dubai. We leave no stone unturned to find the right location for your shoot.

Ford Focus

This was a first-of-its-kind interactive installation, promoting the all-new Ford Focus. We began with researching multiple European cities for sites and permissions, and ended with providing location facilities for the locations as we were best placed to do so. This instillation involved 540 LED video tiles embedded in a twenty-tonne, six-metre high, 30-metre long, fully interactive public exhibition.

Assassin’s Creed

This audacious and spectacular project required us to find an iconic London location to stage a live 30m free jump on Channel 4. The broadcasting and safety management crews were massive so the location was key. We scouted a number of location solutions for this brief and permissioned a parallel back-up option just in case we encountered unforeseen health and safety issues or last minute complications.

Scouting sometimes means being on the grid, in towns and cities, rooftops or car parks, but sometimes is off the grid, looking for mountains, sand dunes, deserts and the like. No matter what it is you are looking for, or where it is, we can offer objective, informed guidance about how to tackle the brief and where to find it. This one required some old school skills to recce and the use of a piste-basher to get there! Skier is me…

FORD RANGER

Scouting sometimes requires getting into places that are a challenge in themselves. This one is dockside on a cruise ship terminal, requiring high security access and advanced planning. Other places like this would be airside at an airport, in a bonded warehouse, military facilities... Each requires a level of care and attention for the onsite rules, detailed RAMS, and a keen eye on the brief to make sure that what we can shoot is achievable. Regardless, these locations are usually rather fun.
