Film Location and Tanks

Filming in Naval Tanks

Using specialized techniques and locations, our filming in naval tanks creates the most suitable environment for each situation. From a rough sea with storms, rain and lightning, to the tranquility of relaxed moments in a calm sea. We have a wide range of locations that serve as “aquatic studios” of different sizes, depths and support equipment.

Filming at Sea, Rivers and Ocean

From the roaring waves to the serene surface, we are equipped to capture everything nature has to offer. With an in-depth knowledge of the Brazilian coastline, our team is able to identify the best locations for any type of film production.

 

Our offices are strategically located in three key regions: Amazon, Chilean Patagonia, São Paulo and Northeast Brazil. We're able to recommend ideal locations for filming in rivers and seas, whether on the beach or for a production on the high seas, in various areas of Brazil and South America.

Our support bases , which include warehouses and structured piers , allow for efficient and versatile operations. Through them, we serve specific areas such as Rio de Janeiro - covering surf shoots in Barra da Tijuca to Paraty - and the Northeast of Brazil.

We recognize that waves are powerful allies that transmit unique movements to the camera that are impossible to replicate in controlled environments. Our team is committed to ensuring that each scene is captured clearly and in the style desired for the film, always respecting and favoring creative freedom.
