Its been a while since I've been on here but I thought I would hit all of you up with a small snag in terms of shooting location.
I got a small film project going. Non profit. 10 min short film. I've have a gun battle sequence that I would like to shoot at a local gravel pit owned by a excavator company. I've already approached two companies out of the four locations that I would like to shoot. I've talked with the secretary from both companies and gave her my business card and told her a few details and I get the "I will have him get a hold of you," line. Now maybe they are too busy and what not. Should I maybe try again and see if I can talk to them? My friend suggested that maybe the reason why I haven't heard from them is because of liability issues for having a small film crew down in the gravel pit and after thinking about it I agreed.
The gravel pits thats I'd like to shoot at are huge with very little equipment out there. Should I put together some kind of proposal maybe? How do all of you go about shooting at locations that are owned by businesses? The film shoot for this action sequence would take a day for us to film.
