Digital Media Zone recently started a new venture called Set Scouter which became famous when it provided services for Canadian band Hedley. Set Scouter is a modern new convenience for those looking for particular sets for any video or film. Eric Zaworski of DMZ explains that: “Set Scouter is the first full-service website that connects filmmakers seeking excellent sets with location owners who are looking to rent out their space for film and movie productions. Producers search by using various location criteria such as price, availability and amenities. They can also browse location photos and look at location owner profiles. Location owners then pick and choose who to accept or reject for production requests.”
In this way, it makes it easier for filmmakers to pick and choose exactly what they had in mind and also provides a connection between filmmakers and location owners. Location owners also find out what the demand for their property is and if they get multiple offers they can choose the best one. So in this way it benefits both the parties involved.
The need for such a facility was felt by Alex Kolodkin, who created Set Scouter. He wanted to provide an online method to customize the search for locations. This is what he has to say about his creation. “I realized that the industry needed a more digital approach to browsing private listings and booking locations. I created Set Scouter to take the hassle out of location scouting by facilitating the process end-to-end.” Not only is it a more convenient method but also a lot quicker than searching online randomly or trying to find a location physically on your own.
TechVibes states that, “Hedley, a Canadian band found the perfect location for their video through Set Scouter and this is how Set Scouter made it big and became more known. Production company The Field Inc. spent more than a week looking for a distinct swimming pool to use as a backdrop for Hedley’s newest music video before discovering Set Scouter’s online catalogue of set locations. Within 48 hours of contacting Set Scouter, they had their ideal location.” This is a prime example of how Set Scouter can help and how efficient it is at its work. Set Scouter provides a complete package from finding locations to contacting owners and reserving the place. It is a very interesting new idea and should catch on very fast.
