Importance of Planning a Strategic Route

One of the main challenges faced during the execution was optimizing the time and resources, especially given the dynamic nature of GTA traffic. To mitigate time in traffic and maximize shoot times, planning a strategic route was essential. The team meticulously analyzed traffic patterns and peak hours to determine optimal shooting windows and locations. This strategic route planning ensured that we could cover multiple locations in a single day without unnecessary delays, thereby enhancing the efficiency and productivity of the project.
