LOCATION SERVICES
IN HUNGARY & AUSTRIA

We are holding ourselves up to the highest quality standards in location photography and the preparation of our presentations. Progressive aims to offer comprehensive and flexible location services available uniquely at our company in the Central European market, making us stand out from our competitors.

LOCATION SCOUTING

Progressive Locations’ scout team is relentlessly on the lookout for new locations, taking high quality photos of them while considering its future usability. All such location images and data are uploaded into a cloud-based storage with consistent keyword cataloging, including production notes. This allows us to respond to our clients’ location request briefs expediently, with the closest match to their requirements. We have the capability of finding sites meeting multiple criteria for a complex location for complicated scenes. Our team is well-versed in architectural trends and periods, possessing the appropriate skills to assess the locations simultaneously from a director’s, a DOP’s or a photographer’s aspect, while being fully aware of the ins-and-outs of production.

LOCATION MANAGEMENT

We go beyond finding the most suitable location for the given creative by taking responsibility for the feasibility of production at the recommended site. Therefore, it is our team that conducts the end-to-end location management. We have experience in closing down a downtown main road or a central railway station, and have shot scenes in the National State Opera and other sensitive high profile venues. Our services include negotiating the location fees, preparing contracts and associated paperwork, coordinating legal issues, obtaining filming permits, designing and implementing traffic plans and street closures, scheduling police and fire safety officers. We work with experienced and highly skilled location managers.

We can consider our location database, which contains almost one hundred thousand photos, one of the great fortes of our company. We believe that one of the criteria for quality service (be it a film, a commercial, or a photo shoot) is to provide presentations to our clients, which represent the highest quality photos and give solutions to even the most complicated location demands.
