Hey Guys

Just a little update on some location recommendations after some director scouting. See some reasoning and approach to each spot below. 

Feeling like we have two great options here.


💫




KOZAK HOUSE

LOCATION A




As you can see, pretty much on the money for your interior references in terms of scope. We also love that the exterior immediately reads as “working ranch” — because it IS a working ranch. 

Included is just some preliminary ideas of how we can frame our shots up. A couple of notes on these:


  • We should perhaps explore using a mini-fridge in the empty gap you see in the video rough to improve our camera move! If we make the decision that a mini fridge works best... It could free us up to just move the mini fridge into whatever location we like best, maybe even outside the kitchen? Food for thought! 

  • We would likely move the couch up to the log wall away from the middle of the living room so we can have control over set dec on the wall behind it and control our lighting from the window.






We would move the couch agains this wall!















DEAN AND HARVEY HOUSE

LOCATION B





We like this location a lot as well. Where I would say our biggest differences are is that the exterior reads less immediately as “working ranch” — even though it ALSO is a working farm.

The interior definitely leans more working class, and I will say there is a myriad of art and props to pull from within the house itself. I also believe the geometry and layout of the house are better suited for more immediately pleasing shots — for instance, the kitchen is perfect, and the island can move! (and there's a guest cabin with a second kitchen option!) 

All that said, it’s less grandiose, less Dutton ranch in my mind.

In all, both of these are strong picks, and I believe we would get a great spot out of either. While I might be leaning towards option A, I would not lose sleep if everyone on the client side came back liking option B.
