Production companies, location scouts and photographers approach us on a regular basis looking for locations pertinent to their brief. They all want to be able to access images of a potential location via a website - before the costly and time-consuming process of going to view it in person.

How much could your property earn?
- Location fees vary depending on the dynamics of the shoot - how many people, how long, stills or film, local or international, etc. You could earn anything from a few hundred rand to a few thousand rand per day. Our experience with varied productions enables us to negotiate a fair and market-related fee on your behalf.
What makes a successful location?
- All sorts of properties are sought after - ranging from loft apartments, hi-tech modern houses, derelict warehousing and gardens to regular family homes, offices and laundromats.
Although it is difficult to predict what type of location might be in demand, a successful location is generally big enough to accommodate a photographic team or film crew and their equipment.
The more versatile a location is the better. If you've only got a great bedroom, you're unlikely to be chosen above the home with a fantastic bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, garden, etc.
Please note: if your property is on a security estate or in an apartment building, you will need permission from the body corporate to allow shoots. In these instances, some clients prefer to restrict location use to stills shoots, where the impact is far less - on average 2 to 3 vehicles, and 8 to 12 people.
