Places: Filming Locations
Choosing a setting for a movie or a network series is a very important decision for a producer, and many factors are considered, such as the travel costs for getting the cast and crew to it, how difficult the environment is for shooting the scenes, whether special permissions needed to access the space, as well as the likilhood for conducive weather. If a prospect is considered too daunting, the choice may be made to instead use a sound stage, alternative interior location, or even computer generated Imagery (CGI). But, when circumstances allow and great locations are chosen, they provide as much identity to the project as the cast and story itself.
