Dear Waldo,
Sounds like a fascinating project!
I am a location manager and scout based in New York City with twenty-two years of experience on feature films, TV series, TV commercials and stills. I am very familiar with the “intrigues” of shooting in foreign countries. Currently, I am involved in developing, “Sky Over”, a TV series that is closely related to your project. “Sky Over”, will film the world’s most spectacular natural, urban and historical locations from the sky, country by country. Please go to http://www.skyoverproductions.com
As a location manager, it’s anticipate and organize. As a location scout, it’s find the location, then go get the shots. Of equal importance for a scout, if not greater, is the ability to actually get the location. I take pride in my ability to talk my way into and secure a location – even those locations where, normally, no filming or photography is allowed.
I am also an artist. I am familiar with all of the creative fields. So, I am very sensitive to the needs of directors, photographers and other creatives. I have been to the tops of mountains, the tops of the tallest skyscrapers, the bowels of sewers, the darkest of jungles and the depths of the oceans. I have lived and worked in many countries. In addition to English, I speak Spanish, a smattering of German and a dollop of Mayan, (yes, Mayan – it’s a long story!). I look forward to hearing from you.
Best, John Norwood
