Location Scouting
Compare location options, pick the selected place, map base camp, parking, hospitals, storage, contacts, fees, sets, media, notes, documents, and location PDFs.
Location scouting is not just a photo folder. MoviePrepper keeps the creative choice, map logistics, site details, contacts, availability, and production paperwork in one workspace.

MoviePrepper Location Scout supports both a full location manager list and a scene-based scout view. Add options, compare them, mark the selected location, and keep the location tied back to the production item that needs it.

Map logistics
Make the scout usable for the shoot day
A picked location still needs practical answers: where trucks enter, where crew parks, where talent holds, where power and water are, what restrictions apply, and where the closest hospital sits.
MoviePrepper keeps those details on the marker where they belong. Different marker types show the details that matter for that kind of place.
- Track access points, truck parking, crew parking, restrictions, and safety concerns.
- Record talent facilities, crew facilities, power, water, noise level, and neighborhood notes.
- Store legal requirements, marker notes, address details, and contact information.
- Add hospital and storage markers without forcing irrelevant location fields.
- Open a website or location web address separately from the map pin data.
