Film Permitting
permits required?
When filming in public or sometimes even private filming locations if the production is shooting a film, a music video or a corporate internal promotion or PSA, there are laws regarding film permit requirements. For productions based in Los Angeles FD Productions strongly recommends abiding by FilmLA's specifics and standards of acquiring the necessary permits.
Considerations
Either FD Productions or the executive producer will be required to furnish proof of liability insurance as well as workers compensation before anyone can coordinate and release permits. Insurance requirements will vary depending on the areas you intend to film, and the activities you plan to conduct on location.
