Film Location Scout Site Analyzer
Evaluate filming locations systematically against production requirements and constraints
What You Can Do
You can evaluate unfamiliar locations objectively against your specific production needs—whether that's crane access, parking capacity, noise restrictions, or permit requirements. The skill generates comprehensive scout reports that compare multiple sites using weighted evaluation matrices, flag deal-breakers early, and document infrastructure limitations so your production team makes informed decisions before committing resources to visits.
Features
assess sites against standardized criteria (accessibility, utilities, permits, safety) rather than gut feel
objectively rank 3+ locations using weighted scoring based on your production priorities
document photographic context, logistics constraints, utility availability, and infrastructure limitations in one file
identify required permits, neighborhood sensitivities, and access restrictions before scout visits
evaluate crane access, water features, power infrastructure, and specialized rigging feasibility
surface safety hazards, noise conflicts, and production blockers early to avoid wasted site visits
create reusable location records for future production cycles and cross-department reference
Example Output
Location Evaluation Report: Downtown Warehouse (123 Main St)
Overall Feasibility Score: 8.2/10
Scene Requirements vs. Site Match:
- Interior warehouse space (2,500+ sq ft): ✓ Available, 3,200 sq ft open floor
- Loading dock access: ✓ Present, adequate for grip truck maneuvering
- 200-amp electrical service: ✗ Site limited to 100-amp; requires temporary power rental ($2,500–$4,000/day)
- Parking for 25+ crew: ✗ 8 on-site spaces; street parking limited; lot rental available 2 blocks away
Critical Constraints:
- Permitting: Film permit required; 10-day turnaround; neighborhood notification mandatory
- Noise: Residential units above; sound restrictions 9 PM–7 AM weekdays
- Access: Single-door entry; grip equipment requires 4-hour load-in through narrow stairwell
Recommendation: Feasible for 10-hour shoot day with electricity contingency planning; confirm parking arrangement and neighbor approval before scout visit.
What's Included
- SKILL.md instruction file with evaluation frameworks and prompt patterns:
- Location Evaluation Template: standardized form for site walk-through documentation
- Weighted Scoring Matrix: customizable criteria framework (accessibility, permits, technical specs, budget impact)
- Scout Report Format: markdown template for production team handoff
- Deal-Breaker Checklist: safety, legal, and infrastructure red flags to assess on-site
Who It's For
- Location managers scouting for film, TV, and commercial productions
- Assistant location scouts preparing detailed site assessments for senior staff
- Production managers evaluating location logistics against budget and schedule constraints
- Unit production managers comparing venue options across multiple shoot days
- Location coordinators documenting permit requirements and neighborhood liaison needs
Best For
- Evaluating 3+ competing locations for the same scene objectively
- Assessing locations with complex technical requirements (crane access, water features, rigging)
- Documenting permit requirements and neighborhood sensitivities before official scout visits
- Building location files for future production cycles with reusable assessments
- Analyzing infrastructure and utility limitations that impact crew logistics and budget
