THE CLIMB: Scouting Locations For A Short Film

The Climb Short Film Toronto

Sunday, Eric and I went out to scout the remaining locations for The Climb.

Scouting locations for a short film can be tricky but scouting with limited funding is even pretty challenging.  You have to keep so many factors in mind when you are selecting locations for a movie.

It has to have all the elements the director (me) wants in addition to a specific visual look, technical requirements and overall convenience when it comes to work flow.

Finding the perfect location definitely fires up the imagination and shot ideas immediately begin to flow.

A perfect example is a street Eric showed me that not only led to me changing the location of a certain scene but actually caused me to change how the scene is staged.  Perfect.

Below is a pic of a possible location we will be using to film 2 scenes involving our main actor on our first day of shooting.

Sweet.
