services for photo & film Mar 2021

Photo and film locations and full production service under one roof, based in Croatia.

"As 2021 begins, lockdowns are more common across the globe. There are fewer places left to shoot. So we present to you our production solution, Croatia.

Winter is ending here in Croatia and you can feel spring in the air. The days are full of sunshine in great locations, you can also have a remote shooting or have your team come to Croatia. We can organise both.

We have a very low infection rate (see info here); and we offer reliable remote shooting; experienced QTAKE rigs and operator; untouched locations, especially during this year, we will all experience no tourist hassle and lower costs.

We've been using QTAKE with absolutely zero issues. It's seamlessly efficient with almost no delay period. You can monitor, direct, and approve your entire production from anywhere in the world.

There is nothing preventing production from continuing on budget and on schedule. We recommend shooting remotely, but if you would like to travel to Croatia, it is definitely possible with a Covid test no older than 48h, with travel exemptions for UK, South African and Brazilian citizens who need to do mandatory quarantine of five days after arrival and another test. 

Our answers are quick, with all the necessary details and info shared, we can guarantee a smooth and secure production process. Contact us for more details."
