Filmmakers and photographers have long felt right at home in Spain, and we make sure that you will too
With all the essential production tools available in Spain, and an agreeable climate, there is still much more that attracts creatives to work with us here under the sunniest skies of Europe. Cultural icons of the classic nature share the spotlight with sport stars. Modern architecture stands tall in cosmopolitan cityscapes populated by a cast of characters demonstrating the diversity of Spain’s millenary history. The spirit of fiesta fun takes on new forms in the creative's eye in cities where the turn of a corner can reveal locations with a cool groove next to those that pack a punch.
Current Time and Date in Madrid: Wednesday, 23rd August 2017, 1:49 pm
As an American raised in the entertainment Mecca of Los Angeles, Spain’s striking resemblance to my native California caught my eye from the moment I peered out the airplane window when landing in Madrid. Working from the Costa Brava Salvador Dalí called home, down the Mediterranean coast graced by Santiago Calatrava's City of Arts and Sciences to the Almeria badlands of Spaghetti Westerns across to Malaga, birthplace of Pablo Picasso and Antonio Banderas, I’ve settled comfortably in my home away from home. To the west across endless prairies, a turn north leads to evergreen mountains towering over the Atlantic ocean. At sea the Balearic and Canary Islands enhance the colorful palette.
It is in this sunniest corner of Europe where we have a whole world of locations within a 90-minute drive of the capital city, Madrid. The seaside port of Barcelona is a favoured film hub with its own unique spectrum of visual delight. No surprise Spain locations – from dramatic mountain ranges to striking deserts – are the chosen backdrop for works spanning generations from the likes of filmmakers like Orson Welles and Sergio Leone to George Lucas and Ridley Scott, as well as photographers from Robert Capa and Eve Arnold to Peter Lindbergh and Annie Leibovitz. A number of talented pros have called on our team to deliver all that Spain has to offer. Photographers Mario Sorrenti, Alasdair McLellan, Mert & Marcus, David Sims, Nico Bustos, Karim Sadli, Boo George, and Txema Yeste, to name a few. Also filmmakers like Cadmo Quintero, William Armstrong, Markus Walter, Bruce Hunt, Laurent Chane, Anders Hallberg, John Dolan, Gordon von Steiner, Ian Foster, Javier Aguirresarobe, Christopher Doyle, Darius Khondji, Harris Savides, Stuart Graham, Sebastian Pfaffenbichler, and Ottar Gudnarsson.Frequent work at this level fosters the continual availability of highly experienced, English-speaking crew in major cities like Madrid and Barcelona. We also service our clients’ productions with mostly local crew in other cities like Bilbao, Valencia, Malaga, as well as Palma on Mallorca and Tenerife on the Canary Islands.
The standard commercial shoot day is 12 hours, and crews are non-union, though overtime and other practices common throughout Western Europe are the norm.
Talent casting in Spain offers an optimal balance of ethnic diversity at competitive rates in Western Europe. It is a frequent alternative for US projects aiming to save on SAG rates at home.
Major Spanish cities regularly play host to multiple productions at any one time. Most all standard equipment and much of the specialized items such as VR cameras and rigs, Russian Arm and Motion Control are available locally on the mainland. Art and film set construction departments are very good, as are studio and post-production facilities.
After hundreds of film, photo, and video productions with our local crews across Spain during more than two decades, our team's enthusiasm for the potential of this land is as strong as my commitment to no-nonsense production development. Our fully-staffed offices in Barcelona and Madrid maintain a boutique approach to the details backed by the volume of a leading production house producing campaigns at home and abroad for top-tier brands.
That makes us the ideal local production partner to provide quality, cost-effective results you can see in frame.
Seek incentives for your shoot in Spain? Our team’s success at securing the local rebate for a Chinese feature film helped pave the way for feature films and TV series needing a boost to produce in Spain. There’s no better production service company to tap into Spain’s incentives.
Shooting a project that won’t qualify for incentives, like a commercial? Let’s talk numbers. We’re a straight-talking shop prepared for constructive dialogue that can deliver the best shoot for your budget.
Work supporting top-tier documentary programming featuring David Attenborough or executive produced by James Cameron further demonstrates the broad range of our passion for storytelling in Spain.
We feel privileged to have earned the trust of clients from around the globe to produce and service projects featuring celebrity artists like Justin Timberlake, Megan Fox, Scarlett Johansson, Shakira, Taylor Swift, and Alejandro Sanz; top models Claudia Schiffer and Naomi Campbell; as well as a long list of sports stars including Leo Messi, Neymar Jr., Cristiano Ronaldo, Pelé, Andy Murray, Rafa Nadal, Roger Federer, Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo, Niki Lauda, Michael Schumacher, and Sebastian Vettel.
Further afield, my pro-active search for solutions to most every production challenge led me to establish the Production Service Network with like-minded production professionals operating at the top of their game to facilitate shoots in more than 40 countries. We think globally and act locally for your production success.
