Honestly, I think this is this is a stain on the
#Spiderman franchise, which I actually love.
Hiring local skilled professionals should be crucial for filming in
#Glasgow #Scotland for several reasons (many, many have done it before):
First and foremost, employing local crew injects money directly into the community, supporting businesses and livelihoods. When The Batman was filmed in Glasgow, it generated millions for the local economy through crew wages and vendor contracts.
Local professionals bring regional knowledge, ensuring accurate representation. When Outlander was filmed in Scotland, local crew helped craft authentic sets and advised on cultural nuances and it really enhanced the showโs credibility.
Hiring locally reduces the carbon footprint by minimizing travel. For instance, Avengers used Scottish crew in Edinburgh, cutting down on international flights for technical staff.
Engaging locals eases logistics like permits or crowd management. World War Z faced challenges in Glasgow partly due to limited local crew involvement, then prioritized local hires.
Ignoring local talent can alienate communities and miss opportunities for authentic, cost-effective filmmaking.
