Here's a true story for you: Back in 2014, I was on a ski trip in Northern Sweden. The line for the lift was long, but within fifteen minutes, it would be my turn along with my children's. Suddenly, my phone rang, and a familiar voice came on. It was a production manager I had worked with a lot, and I was informed that they were in a crisis. They were scheduled to film in a luxurious villa in two days, but suddenly, the owner had experienced a family bereavement and had to back out. "Do you have anything in your database?" the production manager asked, clearly on the verge of panic and her voice trembling. Her desperation was palpable, and tears seemed almost to be breaking through the call. She described what they were looking for, and I said I could check. Just before we were about to board the lift, I found two locations in my database that perfectly matched their description. I created an album and sent it to the client. We got on the lift, and in no time, the phone rang again. "We like the first location in the album. If it's available, we'll take it." After a quick call to an ecstatic homeowner with the news of a rental at an increased rate, I called back the production manager. As I began to see the mountain peak and with only a few minutes left on the lift, I reassured her, "It's all set. I'll text you the contact details and wish you the best of luck." She was overcome with relief and even asked me to charge a double finder's fee for the job. My ski trip had gotten off to a great start. The album system in Locamundo is a relatively simple tool, but it works wonders. You search in your database, find what you're looking for, and move it into an album. Then you send the album link. At Locamundo, we adhere to a core principle of never sending original images. You decide how the album should be accessible: set an optional password, determine its validity, and when the time is up, the album closes automatically. The key features of the album, in my opinion, are: Quick album creation Full control over which images are visible in your album The ability to have multiple sequences within a single album The capacity to add comments for each location and even individual images Include colleague's locations in the album Clients can comment and rate the locations in the album Both you and the clients can edit and create PDF files for external presentations The ability to present Google Maps data and contact information directly in the album when needed One special feature worth mentioning is the ability to export the entire album with its structure to your own Dropbox and Drive – a handy function when working with creatives who find it challenging to adopt a new system.

When I started my career as a location scout 30 years ago, all location photos were shot on real film. For a long time, I remained loyal to Canon's EOS series. Fast-service film processing shops emerged, offering film development in just under an hour – just enough time for a double espresso and a cookie. One might have wondered, could it get more modern than this? As we entered the digital era, Locamundo was born. We quickly realized that registers would soon move online. Many scouts began scanning their analog photos and uploading them to Locamundo. Despite the low resolution of 0.3 MB, it was painfully slow to upload these images. Locamundo provided a solution where scouts could email their pictures, and the system would automatically manage and upload them to the correct account. The Evolution of smartphones: Around 2005, the thought of uploading images via mobile phones seemed unrealistic due to high mobile costs and slow systems, often humorously referred to as "Wait And Pay" By 2007-2010, breakthroughs like cheaper data plans, the iPhone, Facebook, and WhatsApp drastically sped up the process. However, digital cameras still dominated on Locamundo, necessitating image transfers via computer From 2015-16, top mobile models started delivering better images than traditional digital consumer cameras, leading to more scouts using their smartphones for uploads High-Speed Connectivity - The 4G and 5G Era: The real breakthrough came with 4G, and now with 5G, smartphones dominate the scene. At Locamundo, phones and our platform work together perfectly. How I Work as a Scout Today: Capturing the Scene: I take 50-100 photos of a location Using Locamundo: I log in to my account and opt to add a new location Uploading Images: All images go up swiftly Details Matter: Next, I input all the basic details Categorization (Sometimes Later): This is the most time-consuming step, often done back at the office on a computer Next Location: Save my progress and move to the next spot Additional Techniques and Future-Proofing: For panoramic views, I use an Insta 360 camera, transferring these special 360 images to Locamundo later While mobile photography works almost universally, for especially high-quality requirements, a high-end camera may be used, though the images are compressed for display on Locamundo Future Proof: Locamundo is prepared for the future, allowing storage of large files, and will likely enhance resolution as 5G becomes the standard At Locamundo, we remain committed to providing a robust and innovative platform that evolves with technology and meets the demanding requirements of professional location scouts and beyond.
