Hello,

I'm interested in shooting a low-budget "commercial", 60 seconds.
The scenes take place in an airport concourse and business-class lounge.
Though I haven't tried, I imagine that getting permission to shoot video
in an airport concourse and lounge would be pretty tough for a small guy
these days.

So, I've imagined trying to get permission to shoot in an upscale
shopping mall, which in many respects looks a lot like an airport
concourse (or vice verse) these days. I think I could also approximate
the lounge there, too.

Early discussions suggest, however, that getting permission to shoot
there could also be complicated, since there's not just the mall's
management, but also the management of individual stores in the
background (even though you won't be able to tell much if anything about
which ones they are in this shoot).

Any thoughts/experiences on how tough this could be? Any suggestions
for alternatives that look like the airport concourse/lounge, but which
would be easier to get permission to shoot in?

Thanks,


Todd
