Most of the pivotal portions of ‘Weathering’ were reportedly lensed in Los Angeles, the second-most populous city in the US and the largest one in California.

In Los Angeles, filmmakers have access to high-end studios like Paramount, Universal, and Warner Bros. There is an abundance of state-of-art facilities, post-production services, rental houses, special effect companies, and top-notch equipment.
Finding an experienced crew is also relatively easy in the city — from set designers and camera operators to graffers, everyone is uniquely talented and has some of the best projects under their belt. Creatives in the industry support each other and have built a film-friendly culture where networking with other talents becomes possible. Moreover, the city’s infrastructure is well-made, enabling crew members to transport and carry their equipment from one site to another.
A few must-visit places in Los Angeles are Santa Monica Pier, Getty Center, The Broad, and Sunset Strip.
