Before filming
Four things to plan before a naval shoot.
Water, light and access all affect a maritime shoot.
- i.
Port and harbour permissions
Filming in ports and harbours needs permission from the vessel owner and the port. You arrange access; we film within it.
- ii.
Restricted areas on board
Your team marks which spaces can be filmed. The rest stays off camera.
- iii.
Sun and reflections
Water and grey hulls reflect strong light, so we film early or late in the day.
- iv.
Sea and weather
Wind and swell affect footage from the water, so we keep a back-up date in the plan.
