Around the world The thrill of the chase SIX LOCATIONS CHOSEN BY LOCATION MANAGER JOHN RAkICH
1 BROOKLYN, NEW YORK During pre-production for Grand Army, I was sent to trace and photograph all the real world practical locations and feel of the areas of Brooklyn where the original play took place, both for our eventual New York filming unit and to help us in the world building of the show. 2 TORONTO, ONTARIO I’m one of those few lucky ones that gets to work out of my home geographic area, which has a wealth of so many location possibilities.
3 NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK There really is no city like New York and it’s always a joy to be there, this time to scout locations for a small unit that would be sent to shoot establishing shots and some key New York City locations to use throughout Shadowhunters which was being filmed in Toronto.
4 OUIMENT CANYON, ONTARIO It’s always a thrill to tick things off my bucket list and the chance to scout the majesty of this location for SEE was one of them. The thought of being surrounded by the giant 300 ft deep gorge – the remnant of the glacial lake that covered the province – still makes me happy.
