Guidelines for registering locations
- This database is for shooting locations only.
- Provide a good photo overview of your property: Exterior, interior, from the street. Interior shots must be included, or a note included in the “Usage restriction” field, stating that interior filming is not allowed.
- Concentrate on the unique features and rooms of the property (not the toilet, pantry, etc.).
- Include photos of the assets in your description (pool, barn, etc.).
- Shoot wide and from multiple angles.
- Professional photos are not required, but dark, old, or poorly focused photos will not be accepted, nor will those that are too small or have low resolution.
- Make sure images are properly rotated before submission.
- Staged photos, highlighting people, pets or objects are not accepted.
- Do not submit video clips, screen captures, or brochures.
- Properties already represented by location services companies or agents will not be accepted.
- You must be the actual owner of the property and/or have the authority to lease it for production.
- Properties currently for sale will not be accepted.
- Describe your property: Write a descriptive title (“Modern apartment with a view of the river”) and add detail to the listing – square footage, architectural style, year built, number of bedrooms, special features.
- 10–15 photos are ideal; beyond 15 is generally too many. We reserve the right to select the best group among the submitted photos and delete those which are redundant or of poor quality.
