Production slate — About
--:--:-- — Take 01
Every scene happened somewhere. This is the paper trail.
SceneFound isn't a highlight reel — it's a working log. This page is the slate: what a “real location” actually means, where every coordinate on the site came from, and how to add one yourself.
On the lightbox
Two negatives, one place.
Hold both frames up to the light and the difference between them is exactly the point of the catalogue.
Real location
A place in the world. It has coordinates and exists whether or not a camera ever finds it — and the same one can back several titles at once, which is what “times used” counts.
Filming location
That same place, as it appears in one specific title. This is the entity a location page is actually about — the frame, the scene note.
Field notes
Six questions, answered straight.
Open a question to read the answer.
A catalogue of the real-world places behind films and TV shows. Every entry pairs the frame that was shot there with exact coordinates, when it appears on screen, and what you'd find if you went — not just “filmed in London.”
Chain of custody
Where every fact on this site came from.
No editorial-verification pitch — moderation here is a workflow, not a marketing claim. Just the sources, logged plainly.
Title metadata & artwork
Pulled from TheTVDB — posters, air dates, episode structure. Films are import-only; shows can also be entered by hand.
Coordinates & descriptions
Logged by the moderator team: matching a frame to a real-world spot using public maps and satellite imagery, then writing down what is actually there.
Visiting notices
Danger, warning, info, or success — attached to the shared place rather than to one title, so a single notice serves every film that used it.
