Location (prices)
Hey Sunny,
Thanks for your email, your project does sound great, but I have to warn you that we are a commercial locations library and we charge for our service - as well as the locations we represent. As much as we would love to be able to help you out, we do get this kind of request on a daily basis - and as a business we just cannot help everyone out, as much as we want to!
Let me give you a rough idea of our rates and a few other tips on how to find a location if our rates are too high for you at the moment (which it sounds like they may be). Our normal fees for supplying locations can be found here: www.locationworks.com/library/charges.php
With a limited number of our properties, we can help you from around £1000 for a day. Unfortunately we are so busy and our owners so used to much higher fees (averaging at £2000 a day) that it's hard for us to help you out for less than this. The £1000 figure is if we give you our 'sponsored' rate and convince our owners that you are worthy etc. :) Many locations can be significantly more than this.
If this sounds manageable then please let me know and I will put together some suggestions for you, but if you need to find places for less I would recommend asking friends and family for suggestions, scouting locations yourself, joining social networking groups for tips and advice and/or contacting Film London: www.filmlondon.org.uk. Film London has a library of many thousands of locations, and may be able to put you directly in contact with owners who are happy to help out students and charities. Alternatively you can try the regional film boards too such as Screen South, Film Bristol, Scottish Film etc (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_screen_agencies). If at all possible, shoot outside of London! This will keep your costs down and you may also be eligible for regional funding which could help to cover costs.
Hope this helps and good luck! Please let me know if you need any more help or advice...
We'd be delighted to help if we can! :)
