before going on the road, online research, calling our contacts and searching our database it is important that we understand completely what your shoot calls for, locationwise that is. a good briefing is essential for us to find the perfect location for your shoot. also what impact it will have on the public space (cameracars, long tracks, cranes, extra's and what not). after all it is our favorite way of spending our time; scouting to find great film / photo locations.

sometimes a location is so obvious that there is no scouting necessary. or you already have your location, but just need some help with getting the proper permits.
1 day, 1 location; those shoots are also perfectly manageable for us. it doesn't need to be complicated to get us on board.

in all our years of living, scouting & filming Rotterdam we've photographed a lot of locations and situations. many disks and drives have passed on but we keep most locations archived so upon request we can show you a selection of previously found locations to give you an idea about the possibilities. next to that we are also the proud locationrepresentative of some of the greatest Rotterdam locations. for example the Van Nelle Designfactory, Willemswerf, OVG and some modern apartments in the new highrisebuildings in the Rotterdam 'Manhatten' area.

the Van Nelle Designfactory is a real monument. built with the principles of the 1930's, that would be: light, air and space. because of our experience in film/photography and that our office is on the van nelle complex (it has 8 different buildings and huge grounds with streets and parkinglots) the van nelle asked use to become their representative for film- and photo-crews. we've done lot's of productions here on the van nelle; tv, documentaries, movies, commercials, photoshoots ... the list goes on and on ... send us an email and we'll have a look at what's possible for your production on the Van Nelle Designfactory.

besides -or should we say on top of- the beautifully renovated warehouse that's called Las Palmas which houses the dutch photomuseum, the beeldfabriek and a highclass restaurant, there is an in-your-face landmark. it was designed by the wellknown architect agency Benthem & Crouwel and houses ovg who deal with property developing worldwide. they asked us as representative as they got a lot of requests for filming and photography shoots. there is a special 'urban' garden on top of the las palmas ...with the possibility to get a car...or 2!

another great film/photo location is the Willemswerf. After the first shoot it became clear that the main responsable guy there really liked 'his' building to be filmed/photographed. he understands the crew(s) and their wishes but always keeps the buildingowners and people who work there on the first place. in the gap between the wishes and working people there is a lot possible... with a great view of the city of rotterdam from the roof; 360degrees of pure Rotterdam skyline!
