Location Database Search Overview
The location database is organized and keyworded by categories as might apply to a wide range of elements, starting at the base with natural locations and man-made locations and becoming more specific from that point (i.e. public locations / office buildings, water sites, industrial sites, etc; private locations / houses, rural locations, etc.) then, optional elements of those locations (i.e. private locations / houses / kitchens, etc.). Take a few moments and get a "feel" for the way the database is structured.
The primary purpose of providing public access to our location database is to give the creative team (you) a starting point for ideas and some direction to give us.
