Multi-Location Video Production
Connect the details.
Across every shoot.
Production planning and filming for stories that span more than one location. Bring the locations, interview schedule and capture requirements into one working brief.
Turn the program
into location plans.
A multi-location production needs a shared creative approach and a plan for each setting. Establish the interview treatment and technical requirements, then record what changes at each location: subjects, access, setup time and supporting footage.
We can plan and film the shoots, then bring the material together in the edit or deliver footage for your team. If you are still shaping the wider project, explore our production-partner approach.
Define your scope
- A location-by-location shoot matrix
- Subject availability and filming windows
- Shared framing, lighting and recording requirements
- Crew, equipment and access requirements
- Editorial notes and media handoff for each shoot
Plan the details
Give each location
the context it needs.
A single schedule rarely captures every detail. For each city, identify the location contact, the actual filming space and the material that needs to come back from the shoot.
Plan any remote participation, review points and approval responsibilities in advance. Keep proposed dates distinct from confirmed production arrangements.

Plan the shared work and each individual shoot.
Begin with the series: its audience, common visual treatment and the role each story plays. Then prepare a location plan for each shoot. Keep shared decisions together while recording differences in the subjects, setting, activities and access.
- Separate initial creative development from work repeated for each story.
- Record proposed and confirmed dates distinctly.
- Agree framing, sound and recording requirements for the edit.
- Set review points for the first material before later shoots proceed.
Describe how the films will be edited and released. A staggered publication plan may need different editorial handoffs from a series reviewed together. Include that distinction in the estimate.
Flywheel Film’s Eli Lilly patient-testimonial work spanned four cities on both US coasts. The production brief checklist helps organize a project spanning several settings.
Before the shoot
Questions to settle before production
Does every shoot need identical equipment?
Define the visual and technical requirements first. Discuss equipment compatibility, recording settings and how footage will be reviewed for consistency before confirming the setup for each shoot.
What if locations or dates change?
The estimate should state its location and schedule assumptions. Ask how a change will be assessed, approved and reflected in the revised production scope.
Can the films be released at different times?
Include the intended sequence, editorial handoff dates and review contacts in the brief. Agree the delivery plan alongside filming so each release has a defined scope.
