We unlock the door to previously inaccessible spaces for creatives to use in the Film, PR, Ad, TV & Content Creation industries, helping to bring your vision to life. Say goodbye to time consuming & stressful scouting – our vetted & prepped locations, solid contracts and quick response times streamline your pre-production process and ensure a reliable day on shoot.
We understand that locations are more than just spaces to shoot, they help shape and underpin the narrative. Your next photoshoot and filming locations are waiting for you in our inspiring location library.
OUR VETTED LOCATIONS
We identify reliable properties with strong potential for film and photography shoots. Each space undergoes a thorough review and we create detailed specification info & house rules for each hire. With an understanding of what producers, brands and photographers need, we also help guide property owners through the process and prepare them for working within the industry.
HOW DOES SOSCOUT SIMPLIFY THE LOCATION SCOUTING & HIRING PROCESS?
Whether you need an industrial setting for a brand shoot or a luxury estate for a period drama, SoScout ensures every location is fully prepared. We maintain clear agreements and open communication with property owners to eliminate surprises like last-minute cancellations or missing on-site essentials. Beyond managing calendars, bookings, contracts and invoicing, we also offer tailored location recommendations and support to help you meet your client’s brief with confidence.
WHAT DOES THE HOURLY RATE ON THE WEBSITE COVER?
The hourly rate displayed on the website is the total amount charged to the production company. This total is made up of:
A 25% agency fee paid by the production company to SoScout
The location fee paid to the homeowner (4% handling fee is deducted from the homeowners payout fee)
HOW DO ENQUIRIES AND BOOKINGS WORK
Browse our locations and add your preferred properties to your shortlist. Once you’ve completed and submitted the enquiry form, our team will review the details and confirm the rates and requirements. If we need any further clarification, we’ll follow up with you directly by email.
Once the rates and details have been approved, we send the enquiry to each selected location to confirm suitability and availability. If the location agrees to the booking details and the requested date(s) are available, you will receive an email outlining the next steps to secure your booking.
Once a booking is secured, payment is required no later than 3 days prior to the first booking date. An invoice will be issued alongside the booking confirmation email, which will include the invoice due date.
The booking confirmation email will also include all relevant location details, including the property address, contact information, and booking information. In addition, we provide a property release contract, location booking guidelines, and a location call sheet.
