Location Scouting

Hawks & Company provides location scouting throughout Alaska and the Yukon.

Film and TV production in the north brings unique challenges, including issues of power availability, Internet connectivity, cell phone service, equipment rental, extreme weather, sleeping facilities, transportation, road access. We’re intimately familiar with life in the north, as we’re full-time residents. When location scouting, we determine the most cost-effective northern locations and venues for your project. We also work hard to establish and maintain strong relationships with local residents so that your production goes as smoothly as possible. Hawks & Company can assist your production company or network with arranging and completing any necessary permitting or contracts for securing shooting locations, venues, etc.

We shoot high-definition digital video and static shots of locations and venues. We upload the files to Dropbox for you to download at your convenience.

Hawks & Co. can provide you with aerial shots, footage of remote areas, marine as well as inland waterways, glaciers, caves, winter access-only locations, commercial, residential properties, privately owned dwellings and so much more.

When considering the cost of air travel and salaries for crew, lodging, equipment rental, and other expenses, we can handle your location scouting needs for probably less than you would pay doing it yourself. We also work with utmost efficiency to minimize the risk of production delays.

Call us at 206-659-1373 to discuss your location scouting needs. We’re available for video Skype chats on request and travel can also be arranged.
