ABOUT FILMLOCATIONSCOUT.CA
Location Scouting in Alberta including Location Management and Unit Management.
Film Locations help drive story. A home could provide clues to character. Certain zones can pay homage. Places should emote mood. Neighbourhoods can tell you the time period and a single spot can become iconic.
Some movie locations are the star. Others play blurry background roles to the dialogue.
This website was built as a small sample of my work. I help Film Location Managers, Producers, Writers, Directors and Production Designers match their vision to a physical location. Then, I'll help your crew get there when you need to.
I have tens of thousands of images to share of both proven and yet un filmed locations to match any story.
Click on the images in the slideshows to see the title, description and full screen view.
If you have any questions regarding any of the images you see, or if you're looking for something specific, please contact me.
I have experience with aerial filming, location scouting using drones, photogrammetry & LiDAR 3D scanning, Virtual Reality and 360 degree virtual environments.
ABOUT MIKE JOHANSEN - ALBERTA FILM LOCATION SCOUT
Alberta Film Location Manager, Location Scout and Fixer specializing in BC & Alberta Film Locations for both long and short format productions.
My film career began in 1996. I spent 6 years in the AD department. Then, a successfully developed Pilot led to 8 years of Producing and Directing 63 episodes of Adventure Sport Travel series Drop In all over Western Canada, U.S. and New Zealand followed by Producing hundreds of hours of original content for a Youtube-meets-Red Bull TV streaming platform I founded in 2005.
A young family pointed to a hiatus from film for 6 years where I gained an expertise in Property Management, Sales and Technology. But, film is my passion. Since returning to Alberta & main-stream Film & TV in 2016 I've focused my attention on Location Scouting and Film Location Management which allows me to work with other creative people, satisfies my love for photography, exploring new places and film production logistics.
