Midtown East 3D Scanning for Film & VFX FAQ

Can you scan inside Grand Central Terminal?

Yes, we can document Grand Central Terminal spaces with proper coordination through MTA and building management. The terminal's grand Beaux-Arts architecture with celestial ceiling requires specialized capture techniques. We've documented similar landmark spaces and understand the coordination required for public venues.

How do you handle scanning near the United Nations?

The UN security zone creates additional considerations for both building access and drone operations. We coordinate with building security, obtain all required authorizations, and plan operations to respect security protocols. For drone work, we factor UN proximity into our LAANC requests and flight planning.

Do you document Art Deco details in Midtown East buildings?

Yes, capturing Art Deco architectural details is one of our specialties. The Chrysler Building's eagles, Rockefeller Center's reliefs, and Grand Central's ornamental details all benefit from high-resolution 3D scanning. We provide documentation that supports preservation efforts and renovation planning.

What is the typical process for scanning a Park Avenue office floor?

Park Avenue Class A office scanning typically involves: coordination with building management (48-72 hour notice for freight elevator), COI documentation, security clearance if required, and scheduling during off-hours (usually 6-9 AM or after 6 PM). A 40,000 sqft floor takes 6-10 hours to scan with Leica RTC360 for full BIM-ready documentation.

Can you document the Chrysler Building's exterior?

Yes, we can document the Chrysler Building's iconic facade including the stainless steel eagles, Art Deco ornamentation, and distinctive crown. This requires LAANC authorization for drone work, coordination with building management, and multiple capture sessions. Ground-based scanning supplements aerial capture for lower floors and detailed ornament documentation.
