Getting Ready For the NYC Photo Shoot and..
PERMITS….. AHHHH
As we prepare for next month’s New York City Photo Shoot, we have started the process of pulling the permits for a street photography shoot and street videography shoots.
Here is some of the information we discovered that we need to get these permits. If you ever want to do a photo shoot or video shoot in NYC, here are some important things you need to know…
1.) Street Photography is pretty easy. It’s a simple one page form and it can be found at
http://www.nyc.gov/html/film/html/permits/still_photography.shtml
It’s a fairly easy form to fill out, there is no fee and it can be mailed or faxed in.
2.) A permit for videography, on the other hand, is a bit more complicated, and requires more forms.
First, you need the Motion Picture Television Permit, which you can find at
http://www.nyc.gov/html/film/html/permits/tv_permit.shtml
Next, you need, The Schedule A form for to list your locations and special requests.
Third, you will need a Dropp/Add form if you need to request parking privileges.
And Fourth and finally, you need the Keys To The City Information regarding insurance, find this here at http://www.nyc.gov/html/film/pdf/keys%20to%20the%20city%20Nov%202007.pdf
A very IMPORTANT NOTE: For the Videography Permit, the forms must be either brought in in person or Fed Ex’d over.
We are glad to be able to keep you up to date on information like this. Thanks for visiting.
