recce services
A professional recce (technical location survey) is an essential step in pre-production, conducted with key production departments such as the art department, lighting, sound, DOPs, camera crew, producers, and executive producers.
It ensures that all technical, logistical, and creative aspects of a location are thoroughly assessed before filming.
Recces can take place over multiple trips and often require transportation arrangements for crew members.
Our service includes detailed site analysis, permitting consultations, and logistical planning to help your team make informed production decisions.
