Jordan King, a talented up and coming recording artist recently filmed the video to Hood Love at LON1013 in south London.

We keep a keen eye on how successful our artists are following the release of their videos, and so we are pleased to report that this video is proving to be a smash hit, following acceptance and regular airing on many of the satellite channels including: A.K.A, FLAVA, The box, The hits, kiss and massive RN.

Jordan tells us that he is already planning his next single release, so we look forward to revealing details of this in the near future!

During the summer of 2011 TMG secured the use of a fabulous location ( SE1001 - Hamlet in Kent with Pool House, Oast House and Granary) for the filming of Pete Cohen Life Coaching Video Series.

The filming took place in the poolhouse and outside with the backdrop of the notorious Duck Lake. We're pleased to tell that the location owners had a great first time experience with the chilled presenter and a highly professional film crew from TMG.

Unfortunately the final video in the series "Make It Happen" is no longer available to view.

One of our name brand clients has asked us to source a large country house for a marketing event being held by a popular furniture store. The event location will need to be available for 5 days during June, with an expected attendees of 100 people, and should be in London or within close proximity to the M25.

The property will need to have 3 or 4 large reception rooms which can be cleared while furniture is displayed - so the location will need spare storage space for existing possessions.

Absolute Requirements:

- to have adequate parking for the guests

- the ability for our client to install marquees on the lawn

We are making a 10 x 30’ series in the Mediterranean for 2 weeks in May and back in the studio/ kitchen at the end of May.  Our Chef is going to be cooking and tasting with lots of different contributors whilst away and creating new recipes/dishes back in the UK from her experiences.

We are looking for a kitchen studio that needs to have the following:

• Island with a central hob
• Separate prep kitchen / room for the home ec
• Prefer Central / West London location
• Mosaic tiles / Mediterranean/Arabic feeling – clutter, trinkets etc – obviously we can dress the kitchen with various props if needs be – we don’t really want an industrial looking kitchen.

It would be great if you could please send me pictures of anything you have that you feel will be suitable and is available. The dates we are looking at are from Monday 28^th May to Sunday 3^rd June 2012.  We imagine the hours will be from 9am – 7pm and there will be about 15 crew MAX on the shoot.

** If you have a large kitchen that you think could meet this specification then please contact UKFilmLocation.com today. We will need pictures and your contact details (including your address). **

Hot off the press for all you Virginia Lipinski fans....

The details are being kept to close contacts only, but we are pleased to let you know that Virginia is filming a music video for her upcoming single today at LON1081

We've been promised more details and some stills of the shoot and promise to share these as soon as we received them!

About LON1081

LON1081 is a multi-functional warehouse in East London. Inside there are various spaces which encapsulate urban, industrial and retail themes. When combined with the flexible management team at this location, it makes this a great location for a broad range of filmed activities and one that should be considered.

General Opportunity

With summer rapidly drawing near we are expecting many opportunities for properties in Europe. Typically, photogenic properties do best, however, this is not always the case so we recommend that owners dont prejudge their property.

For photo-shoots its usually advantage for properties to be either highly contemporary or of period styling, and with large windows that let in lots of light.

Filming is different, and natural light less of a factor. Here again, room sizes are important, as well as the styling of the property and in many cases use of the outside space.

If you think that you may have a property that could make a great film location then please contact us. We'll be happy to give you further information as to what this entails and to give you an assessment as to whether we think that you have a realistic chance of being hired.

This client requires a large empty warehouse in the midlands for a commercial involving a car. The warehouse must have suitable access, sound flooring etc.

For this shoot, preference will be given to spaces that have articifical light and where the space has some character!

This is one of many requests we get for these locations across the country so please apply asap with photographs to secure this or similar opportunities in the future.
