photo: Bjorn Christiansen – tips on location scouting
As a little follow-up on yesterdays advent calendar-post I have published a little video on how my location-scouting videos might look like. This particular shot is from Solsiden in Trondheim where my customer wanted a brick wall for backdrop. I wanted to show the customer what types of brick walls Solsiden had to offer and some of the environment around this location, is there much traffic and people that could interfere with the shoot. Shooting the locations in a video format helps a lot giving the right impression. Be sure to check the weather forecast and have an idea of when in the day you are going to film or photograph to get the same conditions in the review as in your photos. Since it is one of the more crowded places in Trondheim I decided that we should do the shoot on a Sunday around noon.
