Shoot in The Alps is a film and photo facilitating company operating in the European Alps - France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia as a single geographic entity. The company handles everything, from full production service, location scouting, casting of sports models, stuntmen, mountain safety experts and helicopters - including warm cups of Espresso at 3800 metres!

Conditions change quickly in the mountains and a detailed and updated knowledge of the territory is necessary for a successful production. Shoot in the Alps will take clients exactly where their production needs to be - knowledge that is provided by a network of professionals who live and work in the region all year long.

The locations database includes everything a client can think of: cities, forests, lakes, castles, beaches, icefalls, pastures, rural villages, high altitude - but accessible – icy peaks, and much more. The automotive industry will find amazing roads here, and fashion photographers will enjoy the mix between modern and historical architecture.

Shoot in the Alps has access to snow all year long! The team works with crews and suppliers from Milan, Geneva, Innsbruck, Munich, Zurich and Ljubljana, offering the best equipment and the highest level of professionalism.

SPEEDBALL PRODUCTIONS looks back on a busy first half year of 2021.

Early in 2021, SPEEDBALL vastly expanded their location database in Hamburg and northern Germany, just in time when demand for local productions increased. They presented their updated sustainability and hygienic measures for safe and eco-friendly productions with SPEEDBALL ONE.

Catalogue client Peter Hahn was one of the first to enjoy their streamlined services. Some clients still wanted snow and winterly mountains moods, so SPEEDBALL provided modern mountain architecture, gorgeous chalets and alpine lakes in the Italian Alps for the upcoming fall/winter. Chinese fashion label Autason and Austrian luxury brand Hanro have also used SPEEDBALL for full production services.

Back in Hamburg, SPEEDBALL produced the fall campaign for Gerry Weber all over northern Germany. Hamburg at its best came next for Happy Size catalogue.

After an extensive scouting, it turned out that northern Denmark with the city of Aalborg and the west coast of northern Jutland provided the best settings for men’s fashion label Casamoda. In June, romantic Paris was the absolute best choice for SPEEDBALL client Falke.

A busy summer is ahead, SPEEDBALL crews will be seen all over Europe, producing for fashion clients and catalogues in Paris, Marseille, Amsterdam, southern Italy, and of course, in and around beautiful Hamburg.
