We are a UK Film & TV Agency specialising in “on the move” filming for scripted, unscripted and commercials. We provide a routes library of film-friendly driving routes and controllable roads, scouting & consultancy, traffic management services, training and a talent agency service.
For each route through our library, we offer 4K dash cam footage (front & rear footage in day and night views), a digital map and supporting documents for the locations team on the day.
We are innovating the way in which we scout for “on the move” locations. We hope to also increase the training offered & level of knowledge in this area among film crew
Oliver Laurenson-Gore – Location Manager & Scout set up Location Routes in early 2022 after his experience of working on PIRATES (BFI/BBC Films) back in 2019 and early 2020. This roadtrip from North to Central London involving a car being the central aspect of the film. made him understand the challenges of “filming on the move”.
He often found from his own experience that it was challenging to show directors and other creatives involved suitable roads without recording the route. There was also a number of times in his career that he had to change the route last minute which has caused additional stress and wasted shooting time.
What services do we offer?
Think of how many Film & TV shows that have any form of vehicles driving or stunt scenes on roads…it’s most shows!
This ranges from complex stunt sequences, mocked up traffic jams and pull out/over scenes. We can also help with routes for everything from buses, bikes and moped routes. We also have a number of driveways, car parks and controllable areas within our library and growing. You can register your property today with us.
Within unscripted, more programmes are being filmed on the roads in terms of presenter led road trips, travel programmes or challenges inside a vehicle and up and past shots.
Location Managers, Producers & Researchers are being asked to find more locations than ever before in tighter turnaround times. Location Routes is here to help!
