The right location saves a shooting day. The wrong one costs two. I scout filming locations in Bangladesh with a filmmaker's eye — light, sound, access, crowds and backup options — and then handle everything that moves your crew from one place to the next.
Location scouting
- Photo and short video recce of each location, shared in a simple online report.
- Sun direction, best shooting hours, tide times for rivers and coast.
- Noise, crowd levels, power availability and toilet/rest options for the crew.
- Who controls access and what permission is needed for that place.
- Drone suitability — whether the location is inside a restricted area.
- A backup option for every key scene.
Production logistics
Transport
Air-conditioned cars, micro-buses and experienced drivers; domestic flights and overnight launches when distance demands it.
Boats
Country boats, trawlers and launches for river and Sundarbans work, with safety equipment.
Hotels & food
Clean, practical accommodation near your locations, and meal planning that respects dietary needs.
Connectivity
Local SIM cards with data, power banks and a plan for uploading rushes.
Schedules that actually work
Dhaka traffic, river crossings and monsoon weather can turn a one-hour move into four. I build realistic schedules, share daily call sheets and keep a buffer for the things nobody can control.
Frequently asked questions
Can you scout locations before we commit to the trip?
Yes. A remote recce is a popular first step — I visit locations, film them and send a report so you can plan with confidence.
How do you handle Dhaka traffic?
By scheduling around it: early starts, grouping nearby locations, using river routes where possible and keeping buffer time between moves.
