Canary Islands - Spain: Locationow
"We are a professional photo and film location service company based in the Canary Islands. We provide a unique locations marketplace and full location services.
Locationow has worked on several photo and film shoots in the Canary Islands and Madrid this year:
For the TV series 'Camilo Superstar', in collaboration with production company Buendía Estudios and Atresplayer, Locationow was part of the team taking care of location services for this project, that tells the story of one of the most popular singers of the 70s in Spain, Camilo Sesto. Locationow found an incredible location in the north of Tenerife Island, that represents the legendary home of Camilo Sesto in Madrid, full of super large windows from which you can see the garden. We also found another location in the Canary Islands, the singer's summer home in Mallorca, an impressive space with a pool, views of the beach and a classic 70s style.
Locationow also worked on a project with the jewelry brand Vidda Jewelry. The location is a singular villa with an avant-garde and modern line that fits perfectly with the elegance and sophistication of the collection.
As usual, the goal is to add value both in the photo and the moving image world through excellence in location services.
Tell your story with the best location and film with Locationow.”

spotlight magazine Nov 2023 commercial productions, directors & dops
Canary Islands - Spain: Andy McLeod
Ford Night Swimming: This ambitious commercial featuring a group of young people enjoying a swim at night with their Ford Rangers was shot almost entirely at the Buftea Studios in Romania. Their 50m x 25m x 5m deep water stage was the perfect location to create an underwater lake complete with several tons of gravel and rock, replete with real water lilies and flowers. After the set was installed, and all the gravel washed, it took more than one week to fill the tank!
Working with director Adam Berg from Smuggler, and DP Joost van Gelder, McLeod was tasked with the underwater cinematography. Due to the size of the space, more than 150 Arri Sky Panels were installed overhead, and special LED lamps had to be customised by McLeod for underwater use, to recreate the headlamps of the Ford Rangers. McLeod used a Hydroflex housing for the Arri Alexa Mini LF and Master primes to create the balletic camera movements with the actors.

Andy McLeod Tenerife film dops
Produced by US based production company Iconclast, this environmentally themed commercial from the directing team Megaforce cleverly uses cross cutting to simultaneously tell the life stories of a fish and a plastic bag, from “birth” to when they finally meet in the ocean.
Working alongside DP Greig Fraser, Andy was tasked with photographing the underwater scenes at the Barcelona Aquarium, and in the sea just off the coast of the city. In the aquarium, Andy and his team had to share the space with a number of large sharks, which helped to keep them alert during the tough 10 hours the team spent underwater.
The underwater footage was captured on Andy’s RED Gemini camera and housing.

Canary Islands: Andy McLeod
For this complex commercial, Andy McLeod worked alongside director Jonathan Glazer and DP Darius Khondji to shoot a live action sequence of actor Adam Driver swimming with a horse. To achieve the real-life shots, five horses were specially trained in Madrid and then shipped to the location in Tenerife.
To control the horses, the team used ropes from two jet skis that guided the horse towards the camera. It took all of McLeod’s 20 years of diving experience to get the camera in close to the action, without being injured by the horses’ powerful hooves.
For the sequences of Adam Driver swimming, McLeod was projected backwards by a complex series of ropes and pullies, allowing him to keep up with Driver’s explosive swimming. The spot was filmed on Arri Alexa Mini with Cooke S4i lenses.

Canary Islands: Boudika Productions
Boudica, the warrior queen, was armed with the qualities of leadership, intelligence, aggression and courage. Though she lost her battle and cause, Boudica is celebrated as a freedom and justice fighter.
As woman-owned production company, Boudika Productions follows that spirit, and celebrates the women’s fight for equality and freedom every day, not only 8th of March.
Boudika serviced some projects run by women; we spotlight the Hyundai - Expecting Generation One spot. It was shot in Tenerife with partner Palma Pictures for Stink Films, directed by Judith Veenedaal with Isabel Kast as producer, Cat Isakson as line producer and Izaskun Montilla as production manager. The spot celebrates the women that give birth to the next generations that will change the world.
The first job for Madeleine Scott as a director, produced by Adele Barach, was the videoclip for the great singer Imany, 'A Wonderful World'. Shot in Tenerife and Fuerteventura, again with motherhood as its main theme.
