The Columbia Shuswap Film Commission keeps an extensive library of potential locations across the Columbia Shuswap Regional District. It’s easy – and free – to register your home, office or property.

The first step is to create a digital "photofile" of your property – a virtual tour in pictures. It’s best to use a digital camera, although you can use a standard camera as long as you save the final pictures digitally on a CD. If you don’t know how to do this yourself, your local photo lab or camera shop can do it for you.

Photofile Guidelines

1. Photograph your property using the widest shots possible.

Start with the outside of your house:
   • Shoot your neighborhood street looking both ways.
   • Take a wide shot of the house, driveway and yard.
   • Take a wide shot of the backyard and back of house.

2. Next, shoot the inside of the house, a room at a time, and paying attention to any special features (bay windows, indoor pool, stairway). Try to duplicate the experience of someone arriving at the location and walking through your house.

Stand on one side of the room you are photographing and take a picture. Next, take a "reverse" shot by walking over to the opposite side of the room and take a photograph of the area you were just standing in. Show entrances in your photos if possible.

3. Save each image as a JPEG, making sure you label each location (eg. "kitchen.jpg," "bathroom.jpg," "back view.jpg"). You can submit your Photofile by email or on a CD.
 

When emailing, please set your camera at medium resolution; our target print size is 180 dpi. Also include your last name, street address, city, followed by "location photos" in the subject heading. I.e. Subject: Jones. 123-4th St., Salmon Arm. Location photos.

If you have a CD, you can mail it or drop it off at our office. Remember to save all photos as JPEG's, and do not include more than one location in a file. Please remember to provide contact information with your photofile.
