The next turn was brought a year later, also by another project for USA Network. This time they were looking for locations for some specific scenes for the series called Royal Pains. More specifically what they needed were two luxurious and representative balconies. One balcony had to have the feature of a fantastic view of an European city while the other one had to be spacious and elegant, also located in historic European scenery, as well as having to have a view of a street underneath it, where according to the script a murder happens. They had been looking for these balconies all over Europe from Prague to Vienna without success so this meant an exciting challenge for us both in terms of location scouting and location management. We had to find two fabulous balconies, then we had to close down an entire street in downtown Budapest in order to shoot the murder scene underneath the balcony. In addition, we were working with a short deadline, because after they had been searching in vain for these kind of locations in other countries, the deadline was not far off by the time they found us in Budapest. Also, this was in 2013, before the time when the new, film friendly public permission system was step up, which is in action in Hungary today. Now applications for permits to shoot in public spaces can be dealt with under three working days. But back then we had to deal with the administration separately with each district’s local government. This is also why Progressive decided to do all location management of the project ourselves. Staying in contact persistently, dealing with responsibilities and cooperating was so fruitful and successful, that in the last minute we were successfully granted the permit, so we could secure these two beautiful European locations in Budapest - a balcony in the Buda Castle and another one on the street next to the Opera House, which is a much-loved location of the city. This project meant the birth of our own location department in a way, since from then on we manage all location scouting and management in-house.
