Better control over unreleased content
Reduce the risk of scripts, sets, product reveals, and sensitive on-set moments reaching social media before they are cleared for release.
Pouches · Productions
Keep the set off the feed.
For film sets, product-launch shoots, and closed music-video productions. The Camera Pouch keeps crews reachable while physically blocking the front and rear cameras.
Why go phone-free
One unauthorized image can compromise a launch or reveal.
On a film set, product shoot, or closed music-video production, one unauthorized image can spoil a reveal, expose confidential material, or breach agreed privacy terms. LOKD Pouches provide a consistent phone policy without collecting personal devices or adding technical infrastructure.
What productions gain
Four advantages on set.
More privacy between takes
Performers can move through the set without crew phones being used to photograph or film them between takes.
Crew communication stays available
The Camera Pouch physically blocks the front and rear cameras while calls, messages, and other phone functions remain available.
One clear protocol across the set
Crew members, extras, vendors, drivers, and visitors follow the same clearly communicated process, with approved exceptions defined in advance.
Where exposure happens
Where an uncontrolled phone policy creates risk.
The risk rarely comes from deliberate misconduct alone. It also comes from a busy set, many personal devices, and an inconsistent policy that is difficult to enforce throughout the day.
- 01 Risk point An extra photographs an unreleased scene and shares it before the official trailer or campaign is released.
- 02 Risk point A visitor or delivery driver photographs an unreleased product or completed set and posts it online.
- 03 Risk point Images of an on-set incident circulate before the production can respond and inform the people affected.
- 04 Risk point Unauthorized photos of performers can breach contractual privacy terms and damage trust on set.
- 05 Risk point Vendors, drivers, and day visitors fall outside the regular crew briefing, leaving gaps when no consistent check-in process covers them.
How it runs on set
Five steps from call sheet to wrap.
We define the pouch type, exceptions, and check-in process with the production team in advance. On-site support can be included where required.
-
1
Communicate the policy with the call sheet
The production communicates the phone policy before the shoot, including the pouch type, phone-free areas, and any approved exceptions.
-
2
Secure phones at check-in
Crew members, extras, vendors, and visitors place their phones in the assigned pouch at check-in. Each person keeps their own device with them.
-
3
Production continues as planned
Use the signal-blocking Standard Pouch where phone access must stop completely, or the Camera Pouch where communication remains necessary but photography and filming are not permitted.
-
4
Define emergency access
The production defines who must retain immediate phone access and how other crew members can unlock their pouches in an emergency.
-
5
Unlock at wrap
LOKD Openers are positioned at the designated check-out point so pouches can be unlocked as people leave the set.
Why not something else
How LOKD compares with common alternatives.
"No phones on set" in the safety briefing
A verbal reminder is easy to interpret differently and difficult to enforce consistently across a long shoot day.
Confiscate personal phones
Collecting personal devices creates storage, liability, access, and return issues, and some roles still need to remain reachable.
Camera stickers over the lens
Stickers can be removed during the day, do not prevent audio recording, and are difficult to verify across a large crew.
Trust the NDA
An NDA defines legal obligations, but it does not physically prevent an unauthorized photo or recording from being made.
LOKD Pouches
Choose the signal-blocking Standard Pouch for full phone restriction or the Camera Pouch when communication must remain available. One check-in process can cover crew members, vendors, and visitors, with approved exceptions defined in advance.
Where productions use it
Three production types, one system.
Film & series productions
For closed sets, confidential scenes, and productions where unreleased content requires stricter phone access.
Product-launch shoots
For photo and video productions involving unreleased products. The Camera Pouch allows communication while physically blocking both cameras.
Music videos & campaign shoots
For productions where the concept, styling, set design, or artist appearance must remain private until the official release.
Quick answers
The questions we hear most.
Which pouch should we use on set?
Use the Camera Pouch when crew members need calls, messages, and other phone functions but must not take photos or videos. Use the signal-blocking Standard Pouch where phones must be inaccessible and disconnected until the pouch is unlocked.
How are approved exceptions handled?
The production defines any role-based or contractual exceptions in advance. Those exceptions are included in the check-in plan so staff can apply the policy consistently without deciding case by case at the entrance.
Are the pouches suitable for long shoot days?
Yes. The pouches require no battery or software and are designed for repeated use. The appropriate quantity and replacement reserve can be planned for longer or multi-day productions.
Should we rent or buy?
Both options are available. Rental is usually best for individual productions, while studios and production companies with recurring shoots can purchase a reusable set with the opener configuration that fits their workflow.
The mechanism
The same three-step process in every setting.
The same process works for a single shoot day or a full production block. No software, and nothing extra to power or rig on set.
Phone goes in
Everyone puts their own phone into a pouch.
Lock
One press on the stud locks the pouch. It stays with its owner, in hand, pocket or bag, and cannot be opened by hand.
Unlock
Hold the pouch against a LOKD Opener and it releases in one motion.
