Setup productions: Barcelona full photo production

The summer in Barcelona is once again incredible. Sunshine, beaches and heat for those who seek relaxation, wonderful light conditions for those who come to work.

In the last few weeks SetUp has been providing production service to Dorothea Craven for Kaufhof, to Robert Penkwitt for Wenz and to Patrick Schwalb for Sinn Leffers, - all three German catalogues with different outlooks, yet for each one we could provide with the right locations, being it modern architecture, rural landscapes or beaches, windy roads or mountain monasteries.

We are currently preparing a new Mini Cooper Campaign to be filmed on
locations all over Catalonia at the beginning of next month.

Barcelona Plató Film Commission: Barcelona feature film production

159 shootings in Barcelona in six months!
With the arrival of twice Oscar- awarded Pedro Almodóvar, Barcelona becomes once again the embassy of Spanish cinema.

If "crisis" was the word most frequently named at the beginning of the year in the Spanish cinema industry, Barcelona can proudly say: "not for me". While last year in July only 8 films (cinema and TV) were registered at Barcelona Plató Film Commission, in 2003 over 20 films have already been registered.

With an increase of a 17% in the total number of productions (159) by the end of June, we can say the industry is definitely moving, as well as the city that has already authorized 750 shooting permits through our office, 300 more than last year at this time.
