Feature Film Shooting Logistics

Traffic

We're talking about Bangkok, of course. No other city in Thailand has traffic jams like the Thai capital. When making a film in Bangkok, traffic logistics and careful planning are essential to pulling the production off without serious time waste. Our first big feature in Bangkok, Jackie Chan's "The Medallion" taught us a lot about production traffic logistics and management.

By the time we shot Nicolas Cage's "Bangkok Dangerous" we really had our system down. Office location versus studio builds versus major shooting locations are all vital to consider. Also, call times and day and night shooting considerations. We've actually found that Bangkok lends itself to split shooting, so that we're not moving to locations during the main rush hours in the morning or evening.
