I just put this information in another thread - but figured it would be good info for here as well!
All commercial filming (still or motion) at the riverwalk, hemisphere plaza, alamo plaza, La Villita require a City of San Antonio Filming premit!
The site is "
Film San Antonio" (a division of the city)
I just called and spoke to a rep there and she said that while a premit
IS required - they
usually waive the fees for still photographers - esp very small 'productions'.
She said to fill out the premit form online in advance and then they will let you know if they will waive the fee after looking over the request.
