| • |
A film company calls the Park Film Office to make a reservation. |
| • |
The Park Film Office Coordinator enters information and requests pertaining to the film shoot, into the reservation system. |
| • |
The film company is then given a reservation number. |
| • |
The coordinator verifies that the area requested is available for filming. |
| • |
The coordinator determines if an escorted scout is needed based on the type of film shoot that the company has requested. Some factors that would require an escorted scout are: |
| |
- |
When the location is a safety, environmental or of another sensitive nature |
| |
- |
When it is a “special circumstance” production with pyrotechnics, stunts, heavy equipment |
| |
- |
When it’s a Special Facility. (A list of Special Facilities is available upon request) |
| |
- |
When the company requests a scout and it requires the opening of a gate or if the company is not familiar with the area |
In some cases the film company has already scouted the area where they want to film. They know exactly what they want and the request is low impact. For instance, a walk and talk shoot, etc.
| • |
The coordinator takes down the requests from the film company. |
| • |
The coordinator then calls the Park Maintenance Supervisor to get the requests approved. |
| • |
If the coordinator can’t reach the Park Maintenance Supervisor, the coordinator will send an e-mail and leave a voice message for the Park Maintenance Supervisor. |
| • |
When the Park Maintenance Supervisor gives an approval over the phone, the coordinator will send an e-mail to the Park Maintenance Supervisor as a confirmation of what was approved over the phone. |
| • |
E-mails will be used as a confirmation of all Park Maintenance Supervisor’s approvals. |
| • |
Approvals are entered into the reservation system with notation of, when the requests where approved, who approved the request and what was approved. |
| • |
If requests are not approved then the scout or the coordinator will ask the Park Maintenance Supervisor if they have any suggestions for an alternative. |
| • |
The company is advised of what was not approved, and then offer the alternative. |
| • |
The company might take the alternative and ask for a second scout. |
| • |
The coordinator then communicates the details of the film shoot to the surrounding entities (Greek, Observatory, etc.) and takes down any concerns. |
| • |
Concerns are then relayed back to the Film Company and guidelines are revised if needed on the finalized permit. |
Once everything has been approved the company is issued a permit.
