Because believe me, there are always going to be challenges \u2014 and you will have to <strong>be prepared.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The best way to be prepared for potential issues is to stay flexible and creative. With that said, let&#8217;s take a look at a few\u00a0handy\u00a0<strong>production quick tips and DIY hacks <\/strong>that just might save the day on your next shoot.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1-dont-scout-a-location-by-yourself\">1. Don&#8217;t Scout a Location By Yourself<\/h3>\n<p>Location scouting is a very important part of the production process. When you&#8217;re ready to scout your next potential film site, make sure you take the <strong>production manager\/designer, cinematographer,\u00a0<\/strong>and<strong> audio supervisor<\/strong>. You want these members of the crew there in order to judge if the location is manageable, filmable, and void of overwhelming noise pollution. They&#8217;re the experts \u2014 listen to what they say.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hPHGpOrNT_A?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Video via\u00a0<a class=\"yt-uix-sessionlink g-hovercard      spf-link \" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC6P24bhhCmMPOcujA9PKPTA\" data-ytid=\"UC6P24bhhCmMPOcujA9PKPTA\" data-sessionlink=\"itct=CDEQ4TkiEwiB18DLhLXMAhUBsaoKHS8GAXco-B0\">Film Riot<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-use-a-3d-printer-for-small-props\">2.

Fortunately, one of the most common artificial weather effects in film is rain.<\/p>\n<p>As seen in the top image, the production crew from <em><a title=\"Noah\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1959490\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Noah<\/a><\/em> used a massive rain rig for certain scenes in the film.
