Production planning

Planning a shoot
in Scottish Borders.

Borders work is planned around travel between locations, venue or estate access, seasonal conditions and the most useful light. One production day can often cover people, interiors, products and wider environmental context.

Share the exact location and intended use first so airspace, permissions, access, people and weather constraints can be assessed.
