QuoVadis Live! allows anyone to map events and tours. The resulting maps include nearby hotels and Panoramio photos.
As well as mapping music and sports events and tours QuoVadis can also be used to show the locations used in feature films. The Filming Locations category allows users to map movie locations, attaching any relevant clips from YouTube.
This example is a map showing the locations of John Borman's 1981 movie Excalibur.
Filmaps
Filmaps is a new film locations website that also uses Google Maps to show the locations of movies. Filmaps want to help movie fans find the locations in their favourite movies.
It is possible to search Filmaps for a particular film or it is possible to search a location to see which film was made there. For example, a search for the Eiffel Tower reveals that four films in the Filmaps database have used the famous landmark as a location.
Each film has its own Google Map. When you are browsing a film's locations it is very easy to add another location if you know of one that hasn't already been added. To do so you just press the 'add a location button' and complete a very short form.
Meipi
Meipi have a Cinemadrid map that includes a number of locations from films shot in the Spanish capital. There are a lot of locations from Almodóvar's films on this map. Clicking on a film will load a YouTube clip of the relevant scene.

Hi Keir!
ReplyDeleteThere is one particular Meipi with filming locations in Madrid (though it includes other places too); so plenty of Almodóvar movies in there... 8-)

Thanks also for linking to quovadislive.com . It's really encouraging to see our work being recognized in such a great way. We're always working on new features and next week we're releasing a cool way to embed event maps created by our users. Thank you also for your great work in keeping all of us informed on original and creative google maps aplications out there. It's always inspirational.
ReplyDeleteOk, I've fixed up a bug that was causing IE7 to fail, and I've re-implemented jumping to a landmark. The new link to the Blues Brothers bridge jump is http://take2.movielandmarks.com/#landmark-B0009UC810-105
ReplyDeleteI had to change the video because YouTube took down the good one.
