SPECIAL SHOOTS IN ISRAEL

In the last years we have successfully completed several international productions taking place in Gaza. We have professional teams based in and around Gaza, from both sides of the border. Our Gaza border media center, located on the Israeli side of the border, offers assistance with crossing the border from Israel to Gaza, and all required security solutions.

Our production team coordinates the border crossing through Erez Crossing - the only land gate from Israel to the Gaza Strip. We coordinate the shoot with all relevant authorities – the Israeli military, the Palestinian Authority and the local authorities in Gaza. We have established the Gaza border media center, right on the border from the Israeli side. The center provides all support needed for crews filming in the area.

In the last years we completed several hyperlaspe shoots inJerusalem ,tel aviv and the Dead Sea. Our camera of choice is Sony A7Rm4, capable fo filming RAW images of more than 60Mbs.

Our production team is responsible for dozens of film, TV and video productions in the Judea Desert, one of the most remarkable areas in the country. South and east of Jerusalem, the Judea Desert is known for its Biblical landscapes. It attracts documentary film crews, reality TV and video productions; film directors from around the world are looking for the unique, dramatic natural scenery. The desert was always almost impossible to live in, and it still is full of action… Many visitors are attracted to the rough terrain, steep cliffs with deep falls, centuries-old monasteries carved in the rock. To sum it up, this area has it all: a fascinating history, archaeology, wildlife, nature, environment. In the last years we worked on closing the gap in the lack of resources for professional video productions in the Judea Desert.

We have all the necessary personnel, gear and vehicles for video productions in the Judean Desert.

• Experienced producers, who are certified in rappelling and abseiling, and know the various areas of the desert; our producers coordinate the shoot with the authorities in charge of film permits, safety and security.

• Camera crews certified in abseiling down and climbing up with camera gear.

• All professional rappelling and mountain climbing gear. That includes personal kits, tailor-made bags and cases.

• Professional abseiling instructors experienced with working with camera crews.

• Experienced drone crews.

• 4*4 camera van and 4*4 logistics vehicles.

• Medical, safety and security personnel.

• In the summer months the temperature is very high, therefore we usually recommend avoiding July and August. In the winter there are very few rain days, but there is an imminent risk of sudden flash floods: these occur when massive quantities of water stream down the Judea and Jerusalem mountains and cause surprising floods in creeks and lower grounds. Such events were fatal in Israel; therefore we make sure to check with all professional sources regarding the risk of flash floods in the desert.
