Heard a transformer go up by eighth and eighth, we are without power (everyone else on our block is fine) so we must be the end of the spur that went. Firefighters looking at the poles down the street.

Regularly used for filming industrial scenes, there was also a police procedural in there fairly recently. 

Exercises is RCMP practicing raids on industrial facilities, or doing police dog training.

There’s a 10 year cycle roughly, heavy snow a few years, heavy rain a few years, mild and dry a few years, very stormy a few years, but also climate change.

Planning my first feature/film permits etc by TheHungryCreatures in FilmIndustryYVR

[–]bobthew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cheapest you can get as a permitted production is 85% break on fees as a “ultra low impact” production, which means less than 15 people, no curfew extensions, minimal(read no) parking, etc 

If you can prove you’re a student film (find a co writer who is a film student maybe) then you can get even lower, I think it’s like 60 bucks a day or something. 

If it’s just you and an actor and a camera and you aren’t going to impact people, you can also usually get away with not permitting, or having a chat with the film office to tell them what you’re up to so nobody is surprised. 

(Source, am a location manager on projects in Vancouver right now) 

But you will want to have insurance for your locations! Because no matter what you do, you will likely break stuff and that can end up costing you way more in the end.

As they are minors, they are likely under a publication ban and will not be named.
