Selected work / Travel & location scouting
Toronto / Sanctuary Locations
A film-location scouting tool for Toronto and Ontario, combining a map, ranked places and production notes.
The idea
A location is more than a pin.
The original connects location photography, a scouting map and practical production considerations. This selection keeps the opening, geography and one place in focus.
Scouting scores and availability reflect a historical project brief; they are not current travel, venue or permit guidance.

Reconstructed recipe · Not the original prompts
An end-to-end recreation has not been tested.
01BriefDefine the experience
Build a location-scouting website for [CITY] with a map, ranked places and a shortlist. Inspect the repository and its instructions first, preserve existing work, and ask for the intended audience and available source material. Recreate the interaction idea rather than promising an exact copy of the original. Start with one complete, useful flow.
02IngredientsPrepare sources and assets
Use a source-backed place manifest with coordinates, licensed photographs, date-checked access notes, explicit ranking weights and uncertainty. Keep venue access distinct from aesthetic scores.
03InteractionBuild the core flow
Implement map/list synchronization, search, filters, an accessible location drawer and a local shortlist. Include a text list when map tiles fail. Avoid contacting venues or exposing private production details.
04Verify & preserveLeave a working handoff
Use a restrained layout with readable typography and clear navigation. Check the production build, keyboard access, mobile layout, reduced motion, missing assets and network failures. Keep all key information available in HTML. Record what actually passed. Leave source, a lockfile, setup instructions, data provenance and unique assets in a small rebuild kit. Exclude secrets, dependency folders and caches. Capture a few representative moments for a showcase. Do not claim an exact backup or tested regeneration unless a restore was performed.
