How Production Companies Find Your Locations – Stand Out with Locamundo As a location scout, you know that this industry is built on connections, credibility, and having the right locations at the right time. But how do production companies actually find locations today? The days of relying solely on analog photos, old VHS tapes, and word-of-mouth recommendations are over. While experience and intuition will always be essential, digital visibility is now just as critical. This is where Locamundo comes in – a powerful software designed to help location scouts present locations professionally, stay ahead of the competition, and ensure that their locations get selected first. 1. How It Used to Work – And Why Things Have Changed Location scouts were entirely dependent on a tight industry network. Often, you got job after job from the same production company. If another company approached you, you had a critical decision to make—leaving your position could mean that someone else filled the gap, and you might not get your old gig back. This was a time I’ll never forget. It felt like we had oceans of time to find locations. Meetings with creatives often turned into lifelong friendships. But one thing I’d love to forget? The 21 boxes still sitting in my attic—filled with thousands of photographs and VHS tapes of locations no one will ever bother to sort. No online databases – Everything was managed through contacts and physical catalogs. Endless road trips – Scouts would spend days, sometimes weeks, searching for the right locations. Phones and fax machines – Securing a location often meant hours of back-and-forth phone calls. Developing film rolls – No instant digital uploads – just waiting, sorting, and hoping the photos turned out well. And then, there was the fax machine. For those of you who never had the pleasure of using one: You’d insert a perfectly composed photo of a scouted location, press a button, and the machine would magically send the document to another identical machine somewhere else. After a series of whirs, beeps, and mechanical clicks, you’d wait. Twenty minutes later, the recipient would receive a completely illegible black-and-white blur, which somehow was still expected to illustrate what was being requested and drive the location search forward. 2. Visibility = More Jobs, Faster Deals, and Better Opportunities High visibility = more opportunities Easy searchability = more inquiries Professional presentation = faster confirmations 3. How Production Companies and Scouts Find Locations Today Industry databases – Platforms like Locamundo are the go-to choice for professional scouts and producers. Google & social media – Some locations go viral, but are they easy to book? Rarely. Direct contacts & location managers – These relationships are still important, but even they now refer to digital platforms. Film commissions & industry events – Great for networking, but they don’t replace the need for a searchable database. 4. Why Locamundo Works for Location Scouts Industry-specific database – Used by professional scouts & producers. Direct contact – No middlemen, no high commissions – you handle the communication. Optimized exposure – Your locations appear in filtered searches that productions actually use. Verified users – No time-wasters – just real industry professionals. Scouts search for locations in other registers – Many location scouts also use Locamundo to find locations in other scouts’ databases and among those listed by private owners. 5. The Smartest Location Scouts Are Already on Locamundo The industry is evolving, but the best scouts adapt. Locamundo doesn’t replace relationships – it strengthens them by making the job faster and easier. Scouts who embrace digital tools gain a competitive edge. List your locations here

Made by the Industry, for the Industry X-sign.app isn’t just another tech startup—it was born out of necessity. Developed by Joachim von Rost, a long-time Locamundo client, the app grew from years of on-location experience and a simple frustration: “What exactly did we agree on?” With years of experience working on film sets, he knew firsthand the need for a quick and simple way to create and sign contracts on the go — especially when time is tight and you're out on location. He searched for an app that could handle this: create a contract, sign it with an ‘X’, and do it all from a mobile phone. But nothing existed. So, he built X-sign.app — the first (and still the only) app that offers exactly that. X-sign.app is the contract tool for people who move fast and need others to keep up. Whether you're scouting a castle, securing a street corner, or just getting the job done—do it with an X.    About the Creator Joachim von Rost Locationscout, Locationmanager +46-707-811181 www.swedenlocation.se info@swedenlocation.se Svanholmsvägen 11 C, 18275 Stocksund, SWEDEN
