WINTER LOCATIONS Jul 2019

7 Mountains Productions has a unique approach to photo and film shoots in Chamonix and the wider Alps. The company's producers and location managers are qualified ski instructors and mountain guides, well-used to tackling the diverse terrain, making them the best people possible to lead the crew.

Thanks to their wit, skill and experience these 'mountain specialists’ get the whole crew up and down the mountain safely and ensure the 'shots are got' each day.

And what makes Chamonix so special? You have two different climates on each side of Mont Blanc. The cities of Chamonix (France) and Courmayeur (Italy) are connected by the famous Mont Blanc Tunnel, giving you access to glaciers and breath-taking high altitude mountain plateaux within a 30-minute drive of each other. This unique position makes productions convenient as the best weather conditions on the day determine which side of Mont Blanc to go to.

Are you thinking of your Christmas campaigns already? Then give the 7 Mountains crew a call!

"Scorching temperatures in Europe and the US are finally upon us, so what’s the dilemma? Where to shoot convincing AW19/20 campaigns and editorials! The answer lies in South America, with 7 Seas Productions. Argentina, Chile and Patagonia are all in the midst of their winter months and the settings are superb.

Positioned in the heart of South America’s largest nature reserve is Seven Lakes. Like all good things, these lakes come in sevens, just as the name suggests. Here there are picturesque mountain backdrops, incredible flora and fauna and wild river rapids - all ideal for winter productions. The 7 Seas team operates out of Barlioche and right now everybody is skiing the snow-capped moutains at Cerro Catedral, South America’s largest ski resort.

Need a glacier? No problem! The region is also home to the Perito Moreno glacier and it’s a stone’s throw south of Bariloche. 

So for a winter destination that’s a little more exotic, think South America and think 7 Seas Productions. Call the team today with your brief!"

Opposite seasons to the Northern Hemisphere means New Zealand is currently in winter (June - September). The air is crisp, fresh and the snow is falling on the ski fields and mountain; it's time for winter paradise!

Shoot in The Alps is a film and photo facilitating company operating in the European Alps - France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia as a single geographic entity. The company handles everything from full production service, location scouting, casting of sports models, stuntmen, mountain safety experts and helicopters. And let’s not forget the warm cups of Espresso at 3800 metres!

A glacier in Austria might not be as accessible as one in Italy, and the snow in France might be deeper than in Switzerland... or everything could be just the opposite. Conditions change quickly in the mountains and a detailed and updated knowledge of the territory is necessary for a successful production. Shoot in the Alps will take clients exactly where their production needs to be. This knowledge is provided by a network of professionals who live and work in the region all year long.

For six months a year, clients can shoot their models while skiing on day one, and swim in the sea on day two. Shoot in The Alps has access to snow 365 days-a-year! The locations database incudes everything a client can think of: cities, forests, lakes, castles, beaches, icefalls, pastures, rural villages, high altitude - but accessible – icy peaks, and much more. The automotive industry will find amazing roads here, and fashion photographers will enjoy the mix between modern and historical architecture.

The team works with crews and suppliers from Milan, Geneva, Innsbruck, Munich, Zurich and Ljubljana, offering the best equipment and the highest level of professionalism.
