location routes management
Birmingham
We are a UK Film & TV Agency specialising in “on the move” filming. This ranges
from a routes library of film-friendly driving routes, consultancy services,
training and a talent agency service. For each route through our library, we
offer 4K dash cam footage (front & rear footage in day and night views), a
digital map and supporting documents for the locations team on the day. We are
innovating the way in which we scout for “on the move” locations. We hope to
also increase the training offered & level of knowledge in this area among film
crew Oliver Laurenson-Gore – Location Manager & Scout set up Location Routes in
early 2022 after his experience of working on PIRATES (BFI/BBC Films) back in
2019 & 2020. This roadtrip from North to Central London involving a car being
the central aspect of the film. made him understand the challenges of “filming
on the move”. He often found from his own experience that it was challenging to
show Directors and other creatives involved suitable roads without recording the
route. There was also a number of times in his career that he had to change the
route last minute which has caused additional stress and wasted shooting time.
Why offer this service and is it needed? Think of how many Film & TV shows that
have any form of vehicles driving or stunt scenes on roads…it’s most shows!
Roads are getting more difficult to find with more lane reduction programmes and
cycle lanes in cities and towns across the UK. Location Managers are being asked
to find more locations than ever before in tighter turnaround times. Location
Routes is here to help
