Amazing Space's Lockdown Locations
You've probably heard all the subject lines by now:
'In these uncertain times', 'We will get through this', 'Netflix recommends Tiger King'...
So we will just say this: The last couple of months have been really tough for us all.
Our thoughts are with all the freelancers, photographers, production companies and location managers whose schedules are usually full, and we really miss working with you all.
But we're optimists, so we've been busy finding ways to look ahead during this time.
Amazing Space have been working really hard to put together a list of 'Lockdown Locations' - an ever expanding selection of shoot locations which would be more than happy to accept shoots as lockdown restrictions start to lift. We're speaking to commercial spaces such as large warehouses and dressed studios, along with rural farmland, empty country homes and huge event spaces, all with plenty of space and square feet to social distance safely.
Here's the first few Lockdown Locations:
The APA have been amazing during this time, constantly updating their 'news' section. We encourage you to take some time to read through their advice and recommendations on safe shooting guidelines as lockdown starts to lift.
Keep checking back as our Lockdown Locations list expands, we're adding more spaces every day.
The Location Industry usually relies on the kindness of owners opening up their houses and shoot spaces for location hire. Obviously due to the current situation, it's currently logistically very tricky to shoot in houses, but we can all think outside the box...
We have a huge amount of commercial spaces which can be dressed to look more residential, or used for set builds. Social distancing is much more achievable in these larger warehouses, country homes, and rural sites.
We love helping you with your briefs - please do send us an email with what you're looking for and any reference images, and we will be more than happy to call round a few more locations of your choice, to see whether they would consider accepting shoots during this time.
We hope you're staying safe & healthy, and we look forward to working with you again soon.
All the best,
Phil Haselden and the Amazing Space Team
