As a sector grows, it adds more specialist infrastructure. Taking place Oct. 20-21 and organised by the Feria de Valladolid and Spain Film Commission, Spain’s Shooting Locations Marketplace is a case in point and part of Spain’s drive to consolidate as one of the world’s foremost big shoot locales.
“The Spain Film Commission’s policy is to target specific industry segments, beginning with location managers,” Spain Film Commission president Carlos Rosado said at Valladolid.
The Marketplace is a case in point, coming as the value of locations has grown to become a basic consideration in a highly competitive new content scene. “There’s an exponential increase of productions that has raised the need to set each story in a unique location which meets both producers and directors criteria,” Rosado added. Following, seven takeaways:

Part of Spain’s drive to consolidate as one of the world’s foremost big shoot locales, Shooting Locations Marketplace has confirmed dates for its second edition which will run over Oct. 20-21, taking place once again at the Feria de Valladolid, an hour’s train ride north of Madrid.
The Marketplace looks set to repeat its original format which welcomes first and foremost location scouts, as well as producers, line producers and representatives of film commissions in and outside Spain.
Revolving around one-to-one meetings, where commissions and service companies present potential shoot destinations to location managers, the Marketplace also features panels and presentations analysing industry trends as well as success stories and factors that tip the balance when picking one destination over another.
Representatives of 60 destinations are expected, including members of the Spain Film Commission, and countries such as Portugal and Norway, which will attend for the first time.

Hollywood producers have complained to city that the bike lane ruins the area's utility as an 'Anytown, USA' location
It's not easy being green, as a notable Hollywood star once sang. But not even Kermit the Frog was subjected to the indignity of a Los Angeles Times editorial demanding he change his shade.
The city's principal newspaper – still regarded by some, if not all, as the arbiter of everything La – on Monday demanded that municipal authorities bow to the demands of the film industry to repaint a particularly gaudy bike lane.
Producers complain that the bright green, six-foot wide lane, which runs for 1.4 miles through downtown's historic core, ruins the area's utility as an Anytown, USA, location. Removing it digitally in post-production is costly. Worse, camera lights reflect the green onto everything else, including actors' faces.
