Location Support

Film First likes to pride itself in the training we put our men through on film sets. We supply support to location departments. These days productions move fast and sometimes outmanoeuvre even the best location teams - this is where we can step in. We can supply experienced manpower to take up the shortfall, hiring us means you have a mini-unit manager at every station - they will be happy to help with parking up facilities vehicles to at base or at the location and even a last-minute letter drop.

Traffic Management

Set Control - Marshalling - Banksmen - Road Closures - Stop & Go

Traffic Management has become a valuable part of any production. The ability to control public roads, car parks and open spaces using qualified Chapter 8 personnel not only ensures that your production company keeps its crew safe, it also saves it valuable production time. Being able to control public roads, car parks and open spaces means you get the scene shot in fewer ‘takes’ than it used to - thus costing the production less in the long run by wrapping the crew on time. Film First and its sister company Traffic Management Logistics Ltd can manage this aspect of the production for your location team.
