Localmeta

Localmeta is a location scouting platform built on 360° captures. Local filmmakers capture real places with their phone: a full 360° panorama, the ambient sound of the place, and the practical details that matter on a shoot: access, light, distances, what can be modified and what cannot. Every location is reviewed by our editors before it goes live. Producers, directors and location managers explore those places from anywhere. Look around in 360°, listen to how the place actually sounds, read the technical details recorded by the person who captured it, and collect the best locations into projects to share with your team. WHY IT IS DIFFERENT Every location on Localmeta has been visited by a real person. No stock photography, no images scraped from the web. The people who capture them often live nearby. When they are only passing through, they can appoint a local location manager as the referent for productions that want to shoot there. FOR LOCAL FILMMAKERS - Capture 360° panoramas with your phone. No special camera needed. - Record the ambient sound on location. - Earn credits and reputation when your locations are approved. The more you contribute, the more visible you become to productions. - Location managers can get verified from their profile and become the referent for productions shooting in the area, including on locations scouted by someone else. FOR PRODUCTIONS - Describe the scene you are looking for, in your own words. The search reads the description, not just a place name. - Ask for a clifftop house above the ocean and find the ones that come closest. - Organise locations into projects, add notes, share them with your crew. - Talk to the person who knows the place. Projects are available with the Explorer plan. PRIVACY Exact coordinates are never made public. They are shared only when the person who scouted the location agrees to it.
