The Crew Parking Assistant works like this. You tell me your location.
I tell you nearby parking lots. You save time and money.
Your director chooses a location, and the agency and client sign off. Per the permit, you'll need a Crew Parking Lot nearby. Traditionally your Location Manager might go with a lot they
already know, or drive
around and look for other options. Absent a Location Manager you
might ask the Permit Service if they
know any popular lots and wait for a response, or appeal to CoPros. You might make some calls, you might have a PA scour Google Earth, or perhaps dig through maps from the company's old job folders.
I can make your task easier. Over 9 years of full time mapmaking I've built up a substantial, roughly 15,000 strong database of maps. Most of these are for Los Angeles, and most feature Base Camp and
Crew Parking lots.
Call me up, or drop me an email that goes something
like this: "Hi. We're shooting here. What lots are nearby?"
Within 30 minutes of receiving your email or call
(during normal business hours and many other hours as
well), I'll email you back a link to an online map with
5 to 10 lots close to your shoot.
I may not always have
contact information on the lots themselves,
but often
I do or it can be found online. Regardless, it's a good
starting point for your search.
Even if you have a lot in mind, one of the lots I email
you may be
closer or perhaps - CHEAPER - than what
you know about already.
There is
NO CHARGE for the Crew Parking Assistant.
It's totally free to my customers. You don't
need to
register, or log in. I'm doing this as a courtesy and a
thank you.
The benefit to me is your continued patronage.
