The Nordics is our specialty. We can get your crew and whatever gear you have to very remote locations.
Our location scouting is carried out by professional guides, locals and adventure junkies that always go that extra distance to find the right spots for your production.
SPOTLIGHT
ICELAND
An island of sharp and extreme geological contrasts. A place where fire and ice co-exist. Where dark winters are offset by summer’s midnight sun. A country where insular existence has spurred a rich and vibrant culture. Home to some of the largest glaciers in Europe and some of the world’s most active volcanoes. In other words, it is a geological masterpiece, a peerless volcanic land of dramatic skies, bubbling earth, thundering waterfalls, and thermal lagoons. A large number of international films have been shot in Iceland, like Interstellar, Rogue One, Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Prometheus, Game of Thrones, Batman Begins, 007, and many more. The modern infrastructure collective with very short distances between widely diverse geological areas makes Iceland an ideal destination for film- and photoproductions.
SPOTLIGHT
NORWAY
This is our backyard and our go-to choose when it comes to finding authentic Nordic locations where nature creates art. Breathtaking locations are dominated by either light or darkness, where the sea meets mountains and where melting snow gives way to delicate blossom. Norway has a unique combination of high-level technology, a very good infrastructure, and spectacular nature. The coastline extends across 14 degrees of latitude and measures 1.752 kilometers from north to south. This means the country has a variation in landscape, vegetation, and climate seldom found elsewhere. The working environment regulations for the film industry permit long workdays for shooting, which means tighter and more efficient production schedules. Distances from inner city areas to unpopulated wilderness are short, meaning you will save valuable time when changing locations during production.
OUR NORDIC LOCATIONS
We have destinated location managers and producers on each and one of our main locations.
PHOTOS & VIDEOS
Our location scouts. believe every detail counts; therefore, we provide photos in high resolution for each location. In most cases, there is also a video and mood of the location. We try to take photos during the specific time of the day/night when our clients plan their production. We also deliver alternative angles and ideas we think could be of interest—a vital part of the storyboarding process.
It is a treasure hunt for us. Our drive is to walk into something and go,” This is it. It is all of it together. The character of the place. This is what the story is asking for”.
EXAMINE THE ELEMENTS
Sun, rain, wind, snow, heat, cold, moisture from waterfalls, salty beaches — all can help or hurt. We are always up to date with the local forecast. We also use sun apps and geo-tags, so we have all the info about sunrise, sunset, daylight, and shadows. Detailed weather reports and all necessary information about the location are provided in an early stage by film location scouts. Taking up natural sound is often critical. We give our clients sound reports of the location since it might be nearby traffic, white noise of moving water, wind, or wild animals.
GEARS & BASECAMP
To be flexible and able to keep gears protected from weather conditions, we offer large inflatable tents as well as motorhomes in each location. This makes the production flexible, and our clients can easily get the shots they want without being attached to a certain base camp. We also always verify that the locations are physically accessible at the time of production. We provide rental and transportation of any camera gear. Power, cameras, light, generators, sound, grip equipment and a wide selection of cranes of the highest standards are available.
TRANSPORTATION
As an extra service for our clients, we offer to help out with transportation for the full trip, including flights, pickup, and whatever it takes to get our clients from one point to another. Anything to make it as smooth as possible. Depending on location, we offer several transportation options on set, like motorhome, seaplane, snowmobile, dog sledding, and 4×4: s.
CATERING
Productions can often be a disaster when it comes to eating healthy. It’s important to have a steady intake of healthy snacks, vitamins, and water to keep your energy level on fleek and be able to keep on going for a full day. When selecting catering from us, our movie location scouts. offer you a locally produced menu of fresh salads, fish, fruits, nuts, and bakery with no additional sugar.
EXTENSIVE NETWORK
We are connected with guides and locals with unique knowledge and expertise. Thanks to their hospitality, we got to know our selected areas better than anyone else and can provide hidden gems and authenticity. We also have various collaborations with travel agencies, rental companies, catering, and lodging so that we can offer our clients discounted prices.
