What Makes Location Scouting Videos So Effective?

  • by
Georgia location scouting videos

1. They Save Time for Filmmakers

Producers often work on tight deadlines. A compelling video helps them quickly determine if your county fits their creative vision – whether they need a 1950s courthouse square, untouched natural settings, or gritty industrial space.

2. They Give You a Voice

Rather than sending still photos or PDFs, a narrated video gives your tourism board, film liaison, or city official a chance to shape the narrative and highlight what makes your area unique.

3. They Drive Local Economic Growth

When productions come to town, they don’t just bring cameras – they bring money. Crews stay in hotels, eat in local restaurants, rent spaces, hire extras, and purchase goods. A great video opens the door to this kind of economic impact.

4. They Leverage Georgia’s Reputation

Georgia is already known as a filming hub. A well-made video allows your county to ride the wave of the state’s production momentum and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with places like Senoia, Savannah, or Covington.

What Should Your Video Include?

  • Drone footage to showcase landscapes and downtown areas.
  • Historic architecture and landmarks that add visual character.
  • Key amenities like hotels, restaurants, and event spaces.
  • B-roll of everyday life to give a sense of vibe and community.
  • Voiceover or titles that guide the viewer through what’s being shown.
