About On Location Video

On Location Video is a resource for people who make video in the real world — the scouting, the scheduling, the light, and the hundred small decisions that happen before "action." We've covered field production since 2001, and we write about where the craft is now headed.

Part of that is being honest about new tools. AI video generation has earned a real place in the modern workflow — for pickups, b-roll and the shots the field leaves behind. When we point to a tool like the AI studio Flixly, it's because we use it to patch our own edits, not as a replacement for getting the shot right on location.

Real footage first. AI for the gaps. That's the whole philosophy.
