Location scouting for photo & film crews

Scout the shoot,
not just the spot.

CityFrame finds locations worth shooting, then tells you what the day actually costs you — light, access, power, parking, permits — and turns the keepers into a plan your crew can follow.

Coming to iOS and Android. Early access shapes the first city maps.

The problem

A map pin never told anyone where the power outlet is.

Scouting falls apart between the moodboard and the call sheet. The location looked perfect in someone's saved folder — then the gate is locked, the light is gone by four, and there is nowhere to park the van.

CityFrame keeps the visual reference and the production reality in the same record, so the decision you make at your desk still holds on the day.

Built for the shoot day

Choose a location with the call sheet already in mind.

  • Search by creative intent

    Filter for rooftops, brutalist texture, golden hour, water reflections, or whatever is walkable from where you stand.

  • Validate the practical details

    Power, parking, restrooms, accessibility, public access hours, and permit notes — recorded per location, not guessed.

  • Save and share what matters

    Organise spots into collections, hand them to the crew with a link, and keep the best ideas ready for the next production.

The workflow

From first idea to call time.

Discovery, logistics, and planning sit in one flow — so the shoot does not fall apart the moment the location is picked.

01

Find the frame

Start from a city, a vibe, a lighting condition, or a nearby map search, and shortlist real locations worth scouting.

02

Check the ground truth

Compare access, facilities, transit, and production notes before committing a crew and a budget to a location.

03

Build the route

Assemble a shoot plan with stops, timings, and status, then share links that open straight into the app.

Locations

Scout beyond the obvious map pin.

The locations worth keeping combine visual character with information your team can actually trust on the day.
