Filming In Brooklyn

Hey all, as some of you have probably noticed, I’ve been putting together the “What’s Filming” posts later in the day.  Ideally I would publish the listings the night before, but I often get tips in the morning as people go to work and see productions setting up, or later in the day as new “no parking” signs go up.  When I’ve updated an existing listing to include new info, I’ve gotten emails saying that readers missed info that they were interested in because they hadn’t checked the post again later in the day.  And when I’ve published an entirely new, updated post, I’ve gotten complaints about the repeated info.  So, I’ve been posting later in the day to allow all of the tips to come in, but then I get complaints that the info is coming out too late to be useful.  I really do appreciate all of this feedback and have been mulling it all over.

So, in the interest of making my own life easier, getting tips out in a timely fashion, and making updates easier to read, I’m going to change the sometimes haphazard way I’ve been publishing location info: each location will now be it’s own separate post.  The title will include the production’s name (if available) and the neighborhood, so that you can get an idea right from the title if you’re interested in that post.  If I can confirm that a production is indeed at that location, I’ll leave that info in the comments section, and I encourage you to do the same.  If there’s a major piece of new info for a location, such as pictures or a car crash or a celebrity meltdown or whatever, I’ll update the post and move it to the top of the page, with “UPDATED” in the title.

I’ll publish all the tips I have the night before and then continue posting the next day as I get info.  One thing that I won’t be able to do is make a new google map for each entry.  I will simply add each new location to that day’s existing map.

I hope that this system works a little better, helps you find info you’re interested in easier, and makes the info more timely.  Thanks for reading!
