| Mar 15, 2011 at 18:42 | comment | added | Dave Matney | I may jinx myself for saying this, but the hospital is the least of my long-term concerns; I work for a college of nursing that's right next to, and has really good relations with, a hospital. Not only that, but since both are within the same research-driven university, they're usually pretty open to data collection for studies. The military base was more of just wondering. I don't have any projects lined up that need me to have access to the base, though I do live within walking distance from Hill Air Force Base. Fly-bys, on the other hand, I can get from the public street just off base. | |

I would not expect a hospital to ever give you access. Patient privacy is a huge concern. Best to find a Dr. Office or small clinic that you can get friendly with someone there and get after-hours access. | |

There is someone on the base (media relations or something) that you would first contact. They will need a lot of details about your project (script, etc). The military will have to make sure that your project portrays them in a good light. I believe the approval process will go all the way to the Department of Defense. Once they approve your project, they'll have to clear the actual people that will visit the base, and you'll have to work around their schedule. Expect this to take months. | |

Sometimes if you're a "professional", they will potentially see it as a money making opportunity. Which, depending on the situation I agree with or not... typically depending on their involvement/contribution on any of many potential levels. | |

Maybe get in touch with a production company that's done some shooting in a hospital. Having a legit project behind you should make it a fair bit easier too. | |
