We will be filming one broadcast spot and one digital spot for our client. We are expecting filming outside but may have to move our shoot inside depending on the weather. We are currently planning for up to two days of shooting, but we may only need one day on July 18th.

Our shoot will consist of OTF style set-ups, some run-and-gun shots in various businesses, and some MOS shots / B-Roll. We will not have a heavy G&E lift, but as we are an out-of-town crew based in St. Louis, MO we need crew/gear to be local. Likely will not need an entire grip truck, but will have a la carte item list for rentals. If you have a vehicle that you could use to pick up the items like a pick-up truck, this is a big help. We would reimburse mileage. Our shoot will focus in Clarksburg, West Virginia and ideally we are looking for locals or those that can work as a local.
