FWP allows and encourages commercial filming when and where possible. However, it also requires that primary consideration be given to potential resource damage and to anticipated disruption of normal public use. A permit is required when productions are made up of two or more individual photographers, videographers, models, crew members, or client representatives for any filming or photography intended for public viewing or commercial advertising. If a photographer or videographer operates their own equipment without the use of models, props, crew members, or client representatives then NO permit is need.
A minimum of ten working days advance notice is required to process requests and to determine feasibility. Depending on the location, an environmental assessment may also be necessary. Permits are granted on a case-by-case basis. Initial contact should include: the nature of the project, shooting dates and times, the type of equipment, and the number of vehicles. For best results, notify the appropriate regional parks manager as soon as you think you may want to shoot in the area even if you do not have complete information. A fee, performance bond, and liability insurance may be required. The amounts for each will be set by the department on a case-by-case basis.
