Ask a New York City Movie Location Scout Anything You Want

gizmodo.com: Nick started Scouting NY in 2008 to document the places he discovered in his job as a location scout for movies and TV shows. He know the secrets of every old building of alleyway of New York City. His first scouting gig was on Steven Speilberg's Munich, and he's been scouting professionally ever since. Just how good is his eye? He's scouted for movies like Spiderman 3, Doubt, Enchanted, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Taking of Pelham 1-2-3, and the upcoming Scorsese joint The Wolf of Wall Street. Sounds like just about the coolest job ever.

This article truly reveals the interesting side of movie-shooting location, especially in a vast city like New York City. These locations can sometimes be pinpointed due to knowing or visiting such locations, such as the library in the beginning of Ghostbusters being the Columbia Library, as my mom tells me every time we watch. The movies can really bring a location to fame or infamy depending on success, and hopefully the future holds many iconic sets and movie shoots that will last through the ages.
