MIKE CATES – Always on the run.
`5/12/9 Da Vinci's City Hall (TV Series)
(Quote) “The Location Manager's job splits into two main groups of tasks:
1) the creative part - working closely from the script with the Director, the Production Designer, and the 1st AD - finding the locations required and fitting it all into a schedule,
2) the logistical part - planning everything from port-a-potties to permits to police to parking etc. and then making it all happen.
The Location Manager is responsible for just about anything and everything that doesn't fall neatly into the responsibilities of any other department."
