You have to tell us what exactly you are looking for and on which details we have to focus. For example: “Nice locations in Saint-Petersburg“, “Russian plants”, “Russian forests”, “Revolution places in Saint Petersburg”. We will find for you “A mansion of the 2nd half of the 19th century with a yard”, “Draw bridges”, “Military units”. Even “A field where is possible to film how russians plant potatoes” is a doable request. Saint Petersburg has many buildings and streets that can be used for a reconstruction of the 19th century. For any scouting request we will provide you a detailed report with multiple photos. Apart from the information about the place (fee, transport accessibility, legal owner, etc.) we will provide you the information about the sun path at this place. We will also send you a list of permits needed and a time estimate for preparing the location for filming.
