The Elevator Pitch
For filmakers on location who want to buy/sell/share scenes on location the Filming on Location is a online film sharing of location, skills and resouces opportunity that enables faster and better quality filmmaking. Unlike the traditional way of making films our product is different in that truly crowsources filmaking.
The Idea
Online middleman, like FilmRiot, typically cater to two groups. Those who fund and those who film. That’s great, but why not extend the filmmaking task to filmmakers on location?
Imagine a scene in a script that involves an individual running through the streets of San Francisco, or a gangster shooting in a building in old Chicago, or a crew that specializes in scuba diving...there is only so much an independent filmaker can do alone. Why not leverage other filmmakers' skills, location and resources and give them a share of the pie?
Advantages:
More affordable
More films, faster and of better quality (80% more quality for 20% of the effort.)
More genuine
Recyclable film, customs and actors
Opportunity to specialize in certain kinds of scenes
More revenue opportunities
More filmmakers in the pool
I guess this idea could work well as an extension to FilmRiot.

Every filmmaker user local people as far as I know, but your not going to use another actor, camaraman of director for every scene...

Vanhees, Do you do not think that a low-budget film, whose script specifies multiple locations, could use local specialists?
ooper local specialist? well as far as i know film makers know exactly what they want...and the cross cultural interaction between countries via film chambers make things easy :)
I object to the claim that you can provide "80% more quality for 20% of the effort." Using specific numbers like that implies that there's data behind the assertion, and I'm pretty sure you can't prove a claim like that.
Otherwise it's an interesting idea. Obviously any scenes involving recognisable characters can't be done purely by local specialists, but with a bit of imagination I'm sure a careful mix of local, on location shots and studio shots can be used to set a lot of a film wherever you like. Perhaps then this is an extension to the stock film footage idea that allows filmmakers to bid for their own particular requirements?
PhilipH,
Sorry, the 80/20 rule is sort of an expression we use in the US (at least in California) to emphasize a ratio of clear inequality. Nothing scientific.
>>Perhaps then this is an extension to the stock film footage idea that allows filmmakers to bid for their own particular requirements?
Correct, but without the interactivity involved.
Local specialists might be useful, and local actors for crowd scenes.
Hi ooper
Just watched an add for a power company. Promoting greener power sources. The add was edited together from existing (they called them recycled) clips.
